Menu Planning Monday

It's another Monday, so another menu.... last week I didn't stick to my menu as well as I did the week before, things came up and I had to substitute easier meals. This week is going to be an easy week, I am leaving on Wednesday and won't be home until next Tuesday. It's the infamous GRANGE FAIR...my kids are so excited. They have been earning money all summer for the fair and Bryce and Caitlynn both have paper routes at the fair. Please pray for me and my mom, it's going to be me and her with 8, yes 8 kids in a 5th wheel for 6 days. Hopefully I am sane when I get home.

Here's my menu:

Monday - Sloppy Joes (I made this earlier in the summer and froze some), tater tots and ice cream

Tuesday - Chicken and Rice (didn't make this last week, vege and salad

Wednesday (at fair) - chili and corn bread muffins

Thursday - Keilbosa and sauerkraut, cut up veges and fruit

Friday - Chicken salad

Saturday - my mom cooks

Sunday - my mom cooks ( I love these two days)

For more menu's check out Org. Junkie.

Since I will be out of town there will be no blogging from me, so everyone have a great week and I'll be back next Tuesday. I'll post pictures on Wednesday, the kids start back to school, Bryce is going to high school and Nate is going to Kindergarten, where does the time go. I am both happy and sad that they are growing up.

Okay so I realize this picture has nothing to do with menu-planning.... The other day I lost Aly, we couldn't find her. Nate and I were searching everywhere, then Nate came yelling, I found her:


It's almost like she is saying "Here I am" -- I know I am a little bias, but she is just so stinkin cute!!!

Menu Planning Monday

I really like planning a menu. Last week was my first time actually sitting down and writing one up. The verdict - I stuck to it. It was great, when the kids asked "what's for dinner mom" I would just say look at the menu. There was no dilemma at 4:30 wondering what I am going to make. That right there is worth the extra few minutes it took to figure out what I was going to make earlier in the week. So without further ado here is my menu for this week. For other ideas check out Organizing Junkie for a list of menu's. I really like looking through the list and getting ideas for my meals.


Breakfast - cereal, baked oatmeal, poptarts, egg sandwich, bagels and smoothies

Lunch - Tuna sandwich, soup, leftovers, chicken salad, mac and cheese

Suppers
Monday - Burgers, zucchini patties, cucumber salad and onion rings (all veges are from our garden)
Tuesday - Quiche, salad, pudding pie
Wednesday - Vege Stir-fry, rice and jello
Thursday - Flat bread wraps, potato salad
Friday - Chicken and Rice cass, cheesy broccoli and dessert
Saturday - homemade pizza and salad
Sunday - eat at Gram's...I love this day!!!

P.S. we tried the canned relish and everyone LOVED it, so I am definitely going to make some more.

Menu Planning Monday

This is my first time participating in menu-planning Monday over at I'm an organizing Junkie, I absolutely love her site, since I love to have an organized house. I do tend to go over-board when it comes to basket and bins to put everything, but I least I know where everything is (most of the time). She does have challenges and as soon as the kids are back in school, I am definitely going to participate, I need to get this house in tip-top shape. Okay well enough about organizing, here is my menu for the week.

Breakfast - cereal, eggs and toast, oatmeal, poptarts, pancakes and smoothies(the kids love these)

Lunches - Ramen noodles, tuna salad sandwich, mac&cheese, hotdogs, pb&J, cut-up veges and fruit.

Supper
Monday - taco salad, pudding pie
Tuesday - Chicken salad sandwiches and homemade mac and cheese (getting my hair done at 5 so dinner has to be easy)
Wednesday - mini meatloafs, twice-baked potato, and vege
Thursday - Pork and veges in crockpot, potato salad and jello
Friday - Cook-out on the fire - hotdogs, mountain pies, mac salad and cut-up veges and smores
Saturday - homemade hoagies

Now i just have to stick to it.... Have a great day..
