Menu Plan Monday, hosted by I'm an Organizing Junkie.As part of my effort to stay on top of things and be proactive rather than being reactive, I've done up a menu plan for our dinners this week. Breakfast and lunch aren't an issue for us as the kids and I have simple breakfasts and clean out the fridge for lunch, but dinner can mess up the entire schedule, so for this week, we've only got dinners on the menu. (If I get ambitious or think I need to, I'll start doing lunches, too.) Having said that, Superman takes leftovers for lunch whenever it works out, so I am including that in my planning.
Monday -
Superman's lunch - leftover tuna and bread for tuna sandwiches.
Family Dinner -
Tuna Casserole (he says you can never have too much tuna fish - go figure!) with Green Beans and Corn on the side.
Tuesday -
Superman's lunch - leftover tuna casserole (or, if he's finally sick of it, leftover Mexican from our party Saturday night)
Family Dinner -
Chicken soup made from chicken stock I froze....we'll be gone in the afternoon, so this crockpot meal will be perfect...filled with vegetables and served with
One Hour Bread.
Wednesday -
Must make Friday Delight on Thursday, but I'm not sure what I'm making. I'll know what I'm making by Tuesday night.
Superman's lunch - leftover chicken soup.
Family Dinner -
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Green Beans, and Sourdough Bread
Thursday -
Superman's lunch - leftover spaghetti dinner
Chili Dogs (okay, I'd really like to make these
Bagel Dogs, but I'm not committing...chili dogs is my fallback!)
Friday -
Superman isn't working this day, so no lunch plan.
Family Dinner -
Pizza night! (the cold weather has really finally arrived, so homemade pizza is back on the menu!)
There! A plan! Perfect? No, but doable and in place. This week is all about simplicity and feeling like I have a handle on my life again. This menu is only one little piece, but it is there!
