frugal underground

Menu Plan Monday has rolled around once more, and I have a plan. I was originally expecting to not shop this week, but last week’s shopping trip found the store completely out of the lettuce I wanted, and my husband—very sweetly and completely unaware of my plan—used my apples for an apple pie. So if I’m going to stick with the plan for Friday dinner and Saturday potluck, I’ll be going back in to get those items.

Monday: Pizza

Tuesday: Spaghetti

Wednesday: Sandwiches

Thursday: Mac & cheese

Friday: Haystacks

Saturday potluck: Apple Lasagna, Buttery Bread Machine Rolls, some brownies (from a box)

Saturday dinner: Creamed eggs on biscuits

Sunday: Leftovers

It’s Menu Plan Monday!

Because I’ll be out of town Thursday through Sunday, and because my husband is perfectly happy eating Spicy Black Bean Burger sandwiches (I stocked up!), the meal plan is a bit bare.

Monday: Burritos

Tuesday: Lasagna

Wednesday: Penne with Rustic Lentil Sauce (we ended up not making it last week)

…

Sunday: Tuna Noodle Casserole

I recently stumbled across Menu Plan Monday and have decided to (attempt to) participate in it on a regular basis. I’m always extolling the virtues of meal planning, but I’d say I actually get around to it only every couple of weeks. It only works if you do it, so this is me, doing it.

Dinners for the week

Monday: Sandwiches

Tuesday: Haystacks (build-your-own taco salad, basically)

Wednesday: Maybe going out to dinner, but if not, spaghetti + broccoli + garlic bread

Thursday: Pizza (and I need to bake cookies for church thing Friday night)

Friday: Baked potatoes + broccoli + garlic bread

Friday night pre-potluck cooking: Suddenly Salad, rolls, brownies, spaghetti, mashed potatoes

Saturday: Quesadillas + popcorn

Sunday: Tuna noodle casserole + (you guessed it!) broccoli
