MENU PLAN MONDAY (on tuesday)

Last week went ALMOST as planned with only a couple of changes. Monday we ended up going food shopping and stopping at mcdonalds for a quick dinner since it was getting late and i was craving it! Tuesday i made chili and it came out great.. it was a hit and i was quite proud of myself :) Wednesday i made homemade soup for the first time..cheesy potato broccolli soup.. it came out pretty good for my first time and i got to use my emersion(sp?) blender. i wanted sourdough baguette but the store had none so i settled for italian and toasted it up in the oven to dip in the soup. Thursday i made the hot dogs and kraut with beans-something simple. Friday we went to Oatback Steakhouse for date night and had a great meal. Saturday i ended up eating at my parents and on Sunday the people staying here for a bit cooked dinner so i didnt end up cooking.

Things are going to be a bit crazy meal wise for the next month or so.. with guests staying at my fiance's for awhile and we are in the process of cleaning my bedroom at my house so i can switch rooms with my sister since she doesnt live ther anymore and me and my fiance and the baby are going to be moving to my parents house (my house) in april befor Giada comes since his mom will be moving to Ohio. So i will be eating at my house more often as well as preparing meals there.

MONDAY- we ended up having shells and sauce with baked chicken at my parents house. i brought pasta over since thats what i had planned for Sunday

TUESDAY- frozen gnocchi with butter and cheese, brussel sprouts (im having a craving)

WEDNESDAY - no idea yet.. my fiance is off and we have stuff to do so we will probably get something simple

THURSDAY -burgers, fries, beans and mac salad at my house

FRIDAY- its my mommy and nephews bday and we are going to also celebrate my sisters bday as well since we all havent been able to get together..so Pizza Hut and cake at my parents house

SATURDAY- no idea yet again.. probably something simple. i need to go shopping because i am out of meat and dont want to live off pasta!

SUNDAY - its superbowl sunday. my fiance is probably working so i will spend the day at my parents house with my mom because my dad will be gone for the day. we are thinking of maybe some munchie food through the day and rachel rays honey lemon chicken in the crockpot for dinner?

MENU PLAN MONDAY

Unfortunatly.. last week did not go as planned. But i am going to try to stick to this week. and honestly i really need to stick to this weeks menu plan because its the end of the month and i dont have much money. so i am using a lot from the pantry again and only need to pick up a few staples along with milk and maybe bread.

Here is my plan for this week:

MONDAY: no idea - my fiance is off work and i found $10 in my purse so if we can get his car started or use his moms car we will probably go somewhere and get a cheap dinner.

TUESDAY: chili , chedder bisquits

WEDNESDAY: cheesy broccoli potato soup , sourdough baguette

THURSDAY: hot dogs, kraut, baked beans

FRIDAY: date night!! we are going to Outback steakhouse. we got money from my parents for a night out for christmas so i am using that money for a much needed night out.


SATURDAY:blueberry pancakes, bacon OR sausage links

SUNDAY: breaded baked zuchinni, pasta with red sauce, garlic toast

DESSERTS: pb&j cookies , lemon cake with lemon icing

MENU PLAN MONDAY

 Menu planning is a great idea and i know it will help me a lot once the baby is here!

MONDAY: pulled pork sammies, coleslaw, baked beans (thanks to my mom and dad!)

TUESDAY: leftovers!

WEDNESDAY: homemade mac and cheese, stewed tomatoes, peas

THURSDAY: stuffed french toast, eggs, bacon
we were out most of the day. i had leftovers and i made the fiance 2 grilled cheese sandwhiches

FRIDAY: rice and beans, tortillas, cheese, sour cream, salsa

SATURDAY: pork chops, au gratin potatoes, spinach
i didnt like how the pork smelled so i ended up making meatloaf, baked ptatoes and spinach

SUNDAY: pasta night (not sure exactly what kind yet)
we had so much pasta last week that i decided to skip it this week. we are having subway with the leftover giftcard from christmas and a coupon!

DESSERTS/TREATS: pbj cookies ( i need a recipe) 
never got to these! putting them on next week

MENU PLAN MONDAY (on tuesday)-REVISED on thursday!

TUESDAY: hot open turkey sandwhiches, instant mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce

WEDNESDAY: stuffed french toast , bacon
we went out for the day and my fiance's mom treated us to a late lunch at Pizza Hut so i decided not to cook a big dinner. they had leftover pizza and i ended up having a yogurt

THURSDAY: kelbasa with potatoes and onions, green beans

FRIDAY: had subway with a gift card we had i was sick couldnt cook-moved sloppy joes to another day

SATURDAY: old fashioned homemade mac and cheese , stewed tomatoes , peas this will be made next week
sloppy joes , ranch potato fries

SUNDAY: crockpot chicken cacciatore (from ALL YOU magazine), angel hair pasta, garlic toast

I didnt have to change much to the weeks menu. we had a late lunch on wednesday so i didnt make the stuffed french toast and bacon so that will probably be made for breakfast this weekend. i was going to make sloppy joes on thursday but my fiance wont be home for dinner and the fries probably wont heat up good so thats moved to friday. then i moved the mac and cheese to saturday.
