Menu Plan Monday

I didn't get a menu plan done last week, and I paid for it!  We ended up eating out 2x, not good.
Today my inspiration for menu planning is not with me, so I will do the best I can.  We can't afford another week like last week.  I'm hoping to have to do little to no grocery shopping.  Our garden lettuce is ready and so is our kale so I'll see if I can work that into the menu.

MONDAY
Chicken and Kale Soup
Salad

TUESDAY
Beef and Kale Taco Salad
with my favorite super easy
homemade tortillas



WEDNESDAY
Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I'll add a bunch of Kale and veggies to the chicken
and I won't be making it to spicy for the kids
with cut veggies




THURSDAY
Tortellini with a version of this alfredo sauce
Salad



FRIDAY
Beer Butt Chicken
BBQ Potatoes
Salad



SATURDAY
Chicken and Kale Soup
Cut Veggies

SUNDAY
Dutch Pancakes
Fruit

I have a huge zuchinni from the garden so I'll be making a few of these zuchinni loaves

Menu Plan Monday


Well, the weather man called for rain.  So we cancelled our camping trip.  Our week went well.  We are spending a ton of time at our garden.  Having dinner a bit early and heading out after dinner, the kids play and we work.  My husband and I are really enjoying our garden and working in it.
On to our menu for this week.....

MONDAY
my husband is off so I hope to be at the garden
for a good chunk of the day with the family
so we will do a freezer Meal
Ham with mashed potatoes
Salad

TUESDAY
Spaghetti with meat sauce
Salad

WEDNESDAY
My boys 5th birthday!
I don't really do parties for the kids
just an extended family dinner
BBQ homemade Burgers
Salad (bought by family)
and I hope to make a 'ninja' cake
we'll see....

THURSDAY
BBQ Chicken
BBQ Potatoes
Salad

FRIDAY
Pay Day = Order In
I think it will be chinese this time
but we'll figure it out the night before
we often order in rather then go out,
it's much easier with the kids
and we find it is often cheaper as well

SATURDAY
We are going to visit my folks at the lake
so my dad will likely make dinner for us
I'll bring a salad and snacks

SUNDAY
Dutch Pannokoek
Strawberries
