Post Your Weekly Menus Here

[mantua]

JKander, I usually play by ear as well, but lately have been trying to plan out some meals, so that I don't go to the grocery store everyday, which is what my husband and I have done in the past. So far this week I have planned:

Tuesday - chicken breast, stuffing, corn
Wedensday - Pot roast, salad and potatoes
Thursday - Three cheese tortellini w/ alfredo sauce
Friday - ?

I'd like an invite to your homes for dinner -- very tasty-sounding eats you have lined up, folks.

I don't really plan day-to-day. I follow a pattern though. We always have beef, chicken, fish, some sort of pasta, each week and leftovers thereof. I serve food from my "stash" in the freezer and cook some fresh. I always have a large container of lettuce in the fridge that has been washed and spinned so that anyone can read in, grab some and prepare a salad with some added protein. I make and freeze pizza crusts also, and have sauce made in big batches so pizzas is relatively easy to fix instead of ordering out, too.

I'm really impressed with everyone's menu planning.

It is a cheap week.
Sunday- Hamburger helper (cheesy enchiladas)
Monday- Turkey meatball subs
Tuesday- Out to eat ( happy meals are $1.00 and wings at Buffalo Wild are $0.39)
Wednesday- Oven bake Pork chops with green beans and Augratin potatos
Thursday- Tuna Buns
Friday- Chili, bean, and cheese burritos.
Saturday- Chili dogs

I'm not organized enough to have weekly menus. LOL We just buy food & I cook whatever I'm in the mood for that day.

I haven't been very good at cooking these big meals every week. We are in the middle of moving hopefully by the 12th of November and I would like to have 1 maybe 2 homecooked meals per week. We always have a box pizza night but we need to start eating more healthy.

Any suggestions on how to stick to these scheduled meals. I would love to do this but it never happens after one week.

My two week (hubby gets paid every 2 weeks & it's easier for us to go shopping payday than every week) menu is:

Sat: Zesty Chicken & Rice Skillet
Sun: Cheesy Meatball Skillet
Mon: Cheesy Ham & Rice Bake
Tues: Sloppy Joe Skillet
Wed: Parmesan Bow-Tie Skillet
Thurs: No-Fuss Tex-Mex Roll-Ups
Fri: All-in-One Pork Chop Bake
Sat (My birthday): Pizzas
Sun: Fiesta Chicken Pasta
Mon: Chicken Fried Steak
Tues: Brown Sugar Pork Chops
Wed: Better-than-Ever Beef Enchiladas
Thurs: All-in-One Pork Chop Bake (it was my daughter's idea to have this twice)
Fri: Weeknight Lasagna Toss

Now, we don't usually stick exactly to the menu. Like yesterday, since it was just me & the girls, I made some hamburgers instead of the meatball skillet. And tonight, I'm craving enchiladas, so we'll be having those now instead of next week. I try to stick as close to the menu as possible though. I may change what day I make something, but usually I make everything on my menu.

Tracy, what I've found to help me is to keep a copy of it posted on the freezer door so that I can see what package of meat to pull out & another one by the stove so that when I go to cook, I can see what I'm 'supposed' to make & get the recipe.

mexican cornbread casserole
mexican or chicken & mushroom pizza
chicken & rice (sometimes with rotel, sometimes with just green peas)
chicken quesadillas (every sunday night)
