I found out long ago that planning our menus out for 2 weeks or more at a time helped keep us from going through the drive-through or wandering aimlessly through the grocery aisles when we should be sitting down to a nutritious meal.  SOOOO, I thought, "Others share their menu plans, so why not me, too?"  I have one large calendar dedicated to menu plans and I fill in 2 weeks (sometimes more) at a time, then make my grocery list from that, combining as much as possible with loss leaders at local grocery stores.  Sometimes we deviate from the plan (switching one night's menu with another or making a different meal with the same general ingredients), but at least there is some structure and that's what counts.  So without further ado, here is what's on the menu at our house this week:

Monday

Tuesday - Chicken Noodles, Peas, Bread

Wednesday - Sloppy Joes, French Fries, Macaroni & Cheese

Thursday - Mexican Night:  Chips 'n' Dip

Friday - Chicken Fried Rice, Toasty Bread

Saturday - Grill Out!  Steaks, Baked Potatoes, Green Beans

Sunday -  Family Outing, so we will Eat Out

I've listed the sites for the two newest recipes I'm using (sorry I haven't quite got the hang of tiny url's here yet!), and the other menu items are either family recipes or just quick versions using some ready-made ingredients.  If you're interested in a particular recipe, just send me a message!  I'll be happy to share - there's nothing gourmet here, just GOOD food!
