Menu Plan Monday

My husband coaches basketball and a lot of our "on the road" meals will unfortunately be fast food or sandwiches in the car. Do you have any suggestions for what to do about late nights like these? I hate to eat fast food and the selection at the game isn't much better (pizza, nachos and popcorn). If so, please please help!! The season is JUST beginning!

Monday: Lemon pepper chicken, carrots & spinach
Tuesday: ON THE ROAD (Not sure??)
Wednesday: Steak, broccoli & potatoes
Thursday: Tacos & corn (beans instead of meat)
Friday: ON THE ROAD (homemade sandwiches, goldfish and yogurt)
Saturday: Homemade chinese
Sunday: Rotisserie chicken, green beans & rolls

Menu Plan Monday


*I just discovered another blog does this (and much better if I don't say so myself) so starting next week I will try hopping into hers. She has a huge fan base though so not sure if it will work!*

My husband coaches basketball and this week our meals are kinda scarce. Monday he won't be home until 8PM, Tuesday none of us will be home until 10 PM, Wednesday we won't be home until 11PM or later, Thursday we will all be home by 6:30 PM (yaaaay!) and Friday we won't be home until about 10:30 PM. So... a lot of our "on the road" meals will unfortunately be fast food or sandwiches in the car. Do you have any suggestions for what to do about late nights like these? I hate to eat fast food and the selection at the game isn't much better (pizza, nachos and popcorn). If so, please please help!! The season is JUST beginning!

Monday: Baked spaghetti, green beans & french bread
Tuesday: ON THE ROAD (Not sure??)
Wednesday: ON THE ROAD (Not sure??)
Thursday: Breakfast -- waffles, fruit, eggs and bacon
Friday: ON THE ROAD (homemade sandwiches, goldfish and yogurt)
Saturday: Birthday party!
Sunday: Baked pork chops, apples and lima beans

Weekly Meal Plan

Not working, having 2 fairly young children and budget cuts have totally drained our funds! One way we have tried to save money is by cutting out extra spending. And for us, a major source of extra spending was ordering in, dining out and grocery shopping multiples times per week. To combat this, I started planning our meals monthly. I check the cabinets and freezer towards the end of the month and try to come up with meals from what we have without being too repetitive. It's harder than it looks!!Well let me cut to the chase, I posted meals for the month of May and was thinking it was a better idea to post them for the week. Sometimes my meals get REALLY boring and I eat a bowl of cereal instead so if you have suggestions, please let me know.
Sunday: @ my parents' house
Monday: Steak, potatoes and broccoli
Tuesday: Turkey roll ups, green beans and rolls
Wednesday: Stir fry and Lipton chinese rice
Thursday: Baked pork chops, lima beans and baked apples
Friday: Chili & corn
Saturday: Lemon pepper chicken, carrots & spinach

One day I will get pics up and figure out how to make a recipe page.
