meal plan(s) monday! even though it’s wednesday…

normally, a tardy post of this nature would just get backlogged to the monday it was supposed to have been published. but I’m freely admitting today, that I’m late. oh well. I have successfully made a meal plan and, dagnabit, I’m going to post it! and you’re going to read it. and enjoy it. or I’m gonna come over there and… wait. sorry. moving along…

I am going to backlog the menu, though, because I always start my meal plans on monday, and I really don’t care that it’s wednesday, I’m still going to post what we ate on monday. and tuesday. and as you will soon see, it’s SO exciting, how could I not post it?!

  • monday: leftover chicken soup
  • tuesday: leftover tacos
  • wednesday: dinner at church
  • thursday: creamy italian chicken; noodles; broccoli
  • friday: pizza; green beans
  • saturday: hamburgers; tots; fresh veggies
  • sunday: waffles; sausages

but wait! there’s more! while I was at it, I decided to go ahead and plan the next week as well!

  • next monday: leftovers
  • next tuesday: chicken caesar salad
  • next wednesday: dinner at church
  • next thursday: tater tot casserole
  • next friday: pizza; green beans
  • next saturday: bacon-potato chowder; sourdough
  • next sunday: scrambles; toast

I had an offer sitting in my inbox from amazon fresh. I have wanted to get groceries delivered from them for.ev.er… but every time I sit down and start to, I get frustrated because I know that I can get most of it cheaper at the grocery store by shopping sales or buying the store brand. but the offer was for $100 worth of groceries for $50. hard to pass up saving 50 bucks! and it meant I didn’t have to go to the grocery store!

I have some things I’ll have to pick up at costco today, but I have to go there anyway, so it may as well be today!

at any rate, I’m happy to not have to go shopping this week, and I’m really happy to have saved money. and I’m even happier to know that my meals are planned for two weeks! yay!

it’s friday again!!! and that means: layla, still sick, but enjoying some brady bunch episodes in the recliner, with a cat, and a… tent? no idea. this warms my heart! checking out our family history via project life… circa 2007. LOVE! what I spent my sunday evening tackling: done! thank goodness. micah’s “hooked”! hahaha! a quick visit to the library. dinner: meatloaf, green beans, and very pretty roasted potatoes. I got this awesome little bundle at the store that had yukon golds, red, and purple potatoes. purple potatoes are SO fun! I tossed them with some olive oil, salt and pepper, thyme, oregano, a little rosemary, and a bunch of garlic! so yummy. the meatloaf was good, too! operation: pick out cheesy, cheapo valentines. yes, I live in yuppy-ville. if you call 1-888-dog-waste, you can PAY someone to scoop your dog poop for you.I wonder if shane knows about this… empty peanut butter jar = very happy dog. yes, that’s my 5 year old, excitedly tromping in to preschool with...

2017–week 14

sunday: i had some professional development classes to take for work, so i was chained to the computer for a good chunk of the day. this was my companion as i worked. monday: very odd day. there was a threat of violence at the high school, so pretty much most of the student body stayed home. shane was among those lobbying for a day at home, so to ensure it wasn’t just a day of fun and leisure, i made him a lengthy to-do list to keep him occupied. i think it worked out very well. ;) also monday: when i got home from work, i took bonez on the longest walk ever, because it was such a nice day. this is some of the awesome spring color we saw on our walk. wednesday: i was making white chicken chili for soup supper at church, and was tossing my cans into this bag for recycling. i seem to have attracted the local wildlife. saturday: school’s out for spring break, which means it’s time for my traditional school break to-do list. i make one for every break, and usually don’t get that much o...

meal plan monday

monday: chicken caesar salads; bread tuesday: bruschetta chicken ; salad wednesday: french dips; chips; carrot sticks thursday: hamburger helper; green beans friday: pizza and assorted other junk/health foods (for layla’s birthday party) saturday: this is layla’s birthday, and she mentioned wanting ribs, but since sunday is shane’s birthday, and I’m pretty sure he’s going to say ribs as well, we will have to figure out which one gets the ribs on their birthday… we may go out the other day, depending on what the birthday people decide. sunday: whatever we don’t do on saturday. it’s still in the 80’s and 90’s this week, so I’m trying to avoid stuff that requires the oven to be one for an hour in the evenings, and nobody wants to eat soup when it’s hot out (well, I would, but nobody else).
