I'm not the best at planning a weekly menu; more like I plan 2-3 meals at a time and end up grocery shopping more than once a week or eating out more than we should. I'm doing a lot better at trying new things though instead of the same old rotation and when I see something new that interests me, I'll write it on my list and work it into the next week's meal planning. I found a new food site I like with these tips and tricks and that motivated me to plan the next few nights out (kind of random planning meals on a Friday afternoon since weekends aren't the most routine, but it's not as easy for me to shop at the beginning of the week). And since I went to all this effort today, I decided to share my menu to give maybe one of you (at least one of my sisters are reading this, right!?) some ideas!
Friday: Grilled steak, macaroni salad, corn on the cob, zucchini bread
Saturday: soft chicken tacos or tostadas (using this recipe for the chicken, except with my crock pot!), chips and salsa
Sunday: Homemade corn-dogs (recipe to follow), green salad, fruit
Monday: BLC sandwiches (Bacon, lettuce, cucumber since I don't really like tomato), chips & fruit--it's softball night so we need quick and easy
Tuesday: Bow-tie lasagna, salad, bread sticks
...and by then we'll be out of milk and back to the store. I have a few more ideas ready for next week so the planning should go quicker and we'll see how long I can stay organized like this.
