So, we have been following our meal planning pretty well. When you factor in feeling sick, change in plans, and life – we are doing great! Still have not eaten out! Success there!
So here is our plan for the next 3 weeks or so :
8 ~ Tuesday : Beans and Rice
9 ~ Wednesday : Chicken Spaghetti {casserole}
10 ~ Thursday : loaded burritos
11~ Friday: Make your own Pizza
12~ Saturday: (trip to DFW) sandwiches in the car
13 ~ Sunday : Chicken & Rice Soup {Crock pot}
14 ~ Monday: Beans & Rice
15 ~ Tuesday {veggie}: Southwest Egg Rolls
16 ~ Wednesday : Veggie w/ Baked Potatoes
17 ~ Thursday : Beef Stir-Fry w/fried rice
18~ Friday: (*WHM for me) Pizza for them
19~ Saturday: (*WHM for me) steaks for them
20 ~ Sunday : spaghetti
21 ~ Monday: Beans & Rice
22 ~ Tuesday : Homemade Chicken Soup
23 ~ Wednesday : “Gourmet” Quesadillas
Trying to sprinkle in the Beef & Chicken nights each week – but not too many. We are still enjoying many “Meat-less” meals – us and the kids, so that is great! Stretches that meat a little more too!
Keeping my plan up to date has really saved us a lot of money too – I keep it on the fridge – when I lose that I print it out again, and each morning I try to put it on my Daily Docket as a reminder and to get me thinking about sides, prep time, etc. So this is all working for us.
It is all about saving money, eating healthy, and well, saving money! So far so good!!
(*WHM – Whole Heart Mother Conference – I get to go up to DFW and spend the weekend. My goal? Well, relax, be encouraged, and save money! yup!! The goal is to take food to eat in the hotel – my friend and I will do this together. More fun, and ….you guessed it :cheaper. We may have to run out to the grocery store to pick up a few things, but that is still better than eating out!! Can’t wait Jennifer!!)
