Meal Plan Monday - 3/16/09


There is a switcharue this week. Erin over at $5 dinners is hosting this week. You can check out everyone else's great meal plans and see what is cooking around town.

So last week was a crazy one for us. Daddy and I both got a stomach flu and then at the end of the week and this whole weekend, we took on a DIY project of redoing our flooring in our foyer. I will post pics later this week. So there are alot of repeats on the menu this week do to the craziness of last week. Oh and I don't have anything listed for what I am packing for Sassy's lunches because school hasn't put up the new menu yet for the week.

Monday: Meatloaf, Mixed Veggies, Salad

Tuesday: Corned Beef & Cabbage, carrots, potatoes & salad

Wednesday: French Toast & Blueberries

Thursday: Chicken/ Beef Fajitas on tortillas with peppers, onions, sour cream, cheese

Friday: Oven-Fried Chicken Tenders & Homemade Fries

Saturday: Buffet of Leftovers

Sunday: BBQ Pork Sandwiches on WW Rolls with Salad

  1. Your menu sounds great - I especially love breakfast for dinner (or any meal of the day for that matter!!)

    Thanks for letting me know about the Silk soy yogurt. I've noticed that a lot of the "yogurt" and "cheese" products that are made with soy contain casein, which I can't eat either. Yesterday I found some coconut milk yogurt while I was down in the States so I'm looking forward to trying that!

  2. Lookin' good. Do you really eat French Toast for dinner? Just asking. :) I make a killer stuffed French Toast (w/sausage and swiss cheese). The recipe's at my site if you're interested.

  3. Yes, we actually have breakfast for dinner. I work 4 days a week, 10 hours a day, so those days I need a quick easy meal to put on the table for us to eat. Plus, it's a great way to use all of those fabulous breakfast recipes that I never get to use because who wants to cook a big breakfast so early in the morning.

Weekly Shopping Trip

So I am missing my reciept from my big shopping trip this weekend and with no photo to show me all what I bought. I really can't account for it. I can tell you that I spend $45 dollars on it though and I did get some really good deals. So I am wondering how you avoid the sales and only buy what you need for the week. I am struggling with that. I did not need really anything this week but our local grocery store ran their $1 coupon doubler again. So I was enticed by a great deal on Folgers Gourmet Coffee - I bought 2 bags after coupons and grocery deals for 6.75, normally the price of one. Great deal, but again it wasn't a need this week. So please tell me how you avoid the deals and only shop for the needs especially when the deals will eventually be your needs..... I did hit Produce Junction this weekend and I did get a photo of that... Produce Junction 2# Green Beans 2.00 2 heads of Lettuce 1.50 Grape Tomatoes 1.50 Total 5.00 ish

Freecycle

Okay so if you haven't checked out Free cycle yet. You need to. What is freecycle you ask? It is an online community of people who are getting rid of things for free. Some stuff is truly trash and somethings people just don't want anymore and they don't want it to go to the landfill. So this weekend I hit the Freecycle jackpot... Here is what I got 1 children's plastic picnic table & a box of girls toys (not pictured, but Sassy loves her new table) 1 5 foot wall hanging coat rack 2 wooden chairs okay so the chair need to be reupholstered but that little bit of $ compared to 2 brand new chairs. The cushions are still great. So just need fabric, will have to watch for a great sale/coupon at Joann's This post is linked to What Works for Me Wednesdays

What works for me

Since I am a working mommy I have to be organized in order for our lives to run smoothly and be able to get everything done that I want and needs to get done. I currently work 4 - 10 hour shifts. Sassy is in daycare 3 day a week and my mom watches her one day a week. Daddy works 60-80 hours a week between his two jobs so he is not able to help out as much as he use to. So that leaves a lot of the burden up to me... the cleaning, the cooking, the child-rearing, the laundry, taking care of 2 dogs, etc. My SAHM always tell me they have no clue how I do it... well I don't get a whole lot of sleep. I usually go to bed around 11pm and the days that I work I have to be up at 5am in order to get Sassy and I out the door to school and work by 6:20. So this is how I do it. I while ago, I found that I was wasting a lot of time by doing things multiple times during the week, like paying bills, emailing, laundry, cleaning, etc. So I have now broken everything down to days..... Mondays - Clean
