Menu Plan Monday

I went to the grocery this weekend to wrap up this quarter's free grocery giveaway requirements. For the first time in a long time, I went without a menu plan. I probably did shop as efficiently as I might as I planned my menu as items struck my fancy. I also was trying to work in a few recipes that would allow me to use up some potatoes. I was a chaperone on a field trip last week and we went to a potato farm, so I bought a 20# bag of potatoes, which is a lot of potatoes.

At our house, the focus is on dinners. I tend to only list the main course and any standard side we have with it. We do still have vegetables and/or fruit with each of our dinners, I just don't always call them out.

Sunday
Cereal
Pasta
Chili

Monday
Chicken Sausage and Hash browns

Tuesday
Tacos and Chicken Tortilla Soup

Wednesday
Leftovers

Thursday
Pepper Steak and rice

Friday
Pasta

Saturday
Cereal
Sandwiches
Pork Chops and Mashed Potatoes

Weekdays breakfast is at daycare for my daughter, the rest of us eat cold cereal, frozen waffles, oatmeal, toast or whatever strikes our fancy. Lunch we pack, usually leftovers for me.
