Menu Plan Monday--Week of February 7, 2011

The end of one month/beginning of the next is always extra tight, financially, when the money has run out, and the next payment hasn't hit the checking account yet. But last week was made even harder, due to the weather and inability to get to the supermarket for grocery shopping. Hence, main thing on the menu last week and this: beans! This tends to cause complaints on the part of the children, but, well, you have to do what you have to do!! ;-)

Much of last week's menu had to be altered, due to the lack of shopping expedition. But that helped us to clean out the pantry and freezer!! ;-)

This week's attempted menu:

Monday:

Cauliflower Soup

Tuesday:

Therapy Day

To-do: Soak pinto beans

Wednesday:

Quesedillas, refried beans

Thursday:

Homemade Pizza

Friday:

Macaroni and Cheese

Sabbath:

Spaghetti with tomato-less pasta sauce, garlic bread, tossed salad

Sunday:

Menu Plan Monday--Week of January 3, 2011

Can you believe it? A new year, 2011....It totally amazes me how quickly the year seems to fly by. It was pleasant spending a few days for Christmas with my family. The children enjoyed spending time with cousins, with Uncle taking them to the indoor water park, playing dominoes with Grandma and Grandpa and Auntie.

Grandpa told a story or two of when he was a boy on a Wisconsin dairy farm.  Some of the stories some of the grandkids had heard, many times, but some of them were new stories, mainly the ones from one my brothers and I were children.

Holidays are such special times to be together as family; and it rarely happens any more for us. In fact, this was my youngest child's first trip ever to Texas!!

This week, we are able to continue celebrating, a little; my birthday is day after tomorrow. I imagine that means I have to prepare my own birthday meals, but oh, well!! Maybe my daughter will make the cake..... ;-)

Our planned menu for the week:

Monday: Pizza

Tuesday: Therapy day, perhaps Taco Bell

Wednesday: My birthday menu

Breakfast~Buttermilk Pecan Waffles

Lunch~Lasagna, tossed salad and garlic bread

Supper~Lentil Soup and cornbread

Thursday: Special K Roast, sweet potato souffle

Friday: Macaroni and Cheese, glazed carrots

Sabbath: Spaghetti, with tomato-less sauce

Sunday:  Sloppy Joes

Menu Plan Monday--Week of December 20

Well, it will be rather a challenge to plan a menu this week (and I won't be posting one next week, since some of us will be out of town for a few days, with my extended family).

I have tried to "get in the mood" to do some holiday baking, etc., but it just hasn't happened, so far. It may, yet, though.....

In the mean time, here are our plans for the portion of the week that we'll be home:

MONDAY~Veggie lasagna

TUESDAY~(therapy day) Probably Taco Bell, maybe Pizza Hut

WEDNESDAY~Chili and cornbread

THURSDAY~Garden Burgers and french fries

FRIDAY~Heading out of town, to spend time with extended family

CHRISTMAS DAY~With family

SUNDAY~With family

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, and a happy and blessed New Year. I'll see you again next year!! ;) Pin It Now!

Menu Plan Monday

Well, here is my second week at attempting posting my menu plan for the week. With colder weather, and Christmas nearing, it is a good time for soups/stews, and baking all kinds of goodies.

I will need to venture to the grocery store (WalMart, in this case), which I hate shopping this time of year. I hate the crowds!! Tomorrow I plan to take my daughter to a group thing with other homeschooling girls where they will make wreaths.

Also, this week, child number three will celebrate his 11th birthday. So we will see what he chooses for his birthday menu.

Monday--we will probably eat out, Taco Bell or Pizza Hut. BookIt pizzas are a great thing for the boys!!

Tuesday--Washington Chowder

Wednesday--The birthday boy's menu:

• Breakfast--Buttermilk Pecan Waffles


• Lunch--Spaghetti with Unmeatballs


• Supper--Egg salad sandwiches and fruit smoothies

Thursday--Couscous with pine nuts, and roasted veggies

Friday--Split Pea Chowder, corn muffins

Sabbath--Lasagna, garlic bread and tossed salad

Sunday--Leftovers Pin It Now!

Menu Plan Monday

Attempting something new here....menu planning; well, posting the menu, anyway. We'll see how it goes! I am posting our mid day meal, since supper usually consists of something light, like sandwiches, fruit, fruit smoothies, etc.

Monday--Pizza (hubby's birthday, and I wanted to fix him a special supper, but he absolutely cannot eat heavy in the evening, or his stomach tears him up all night)

Tuesday--Therapy day, so probably eating out; Taco Bell, most likely

Wednesday--Spaghetti and Unmeatballs

Thursday--Lentil Soup

Friday--Corn Casserole (maybe)

Sabbath--Meatloaf (for the carnivores)/Harvest Nut Roast (for the vegetarian; that'd be me!)

Sunday--leftovers, or hamburgers, or hot dogs (what ever hubby wants...) Pin It Now!
