This week ended up being a little better - we actually enjoyed a few meals at home! That was really nice. I was kinda lazy last week - mostly I blame it on pregnancy. :D Some days by the time it gets around to fixing dinner I'm too tired and don't want to cook so I don't. *sigh* Somehow I have to combat that late afternoon tiredness so I don't get into a bad habit ...
Anyway, here is the planned menu coarse this week. We'll see how this goes . . . it's going to be a busy week!


Monday: Italian Pasta with tomato and basil

Tuesday: Mexican Chicken Skillet

Wednesday: Spaghetti

Thursday: Carnitas Soft Tacos

Friday: Leftover Smorgasbord

Saturday: Muffins and Eggs

Sunday: BLT Salad

Other goodies I plan to make this week:
Lemon Bread
Cupcakes {for baby shower on Saturday}
Some other kind of bread . . .
Freezer-to-Skillet Cheeseburger Pasta

Last week was an adventure, I tell you! I did well at making the meals on my menu {for the most part} but hubby is working like crazy this month so every meal I took in to him at his job and ate with him there at work. It's nice that I can take him dinner & eat with him when he has to work late but . . . it's a job getting everything fixed, packed up, taken out to the car {all while being careful with hot foods and trying not to spill on the seat}, taken to his work, set up at work, eat, and then clean everything up at work, then take the leftovers home and clean up the mess still at home. It was a lot of work! Since he will be busy again like that this week, I tried to think up meals that I can make and take without a lot of packing effort and hopefully not have to worry about spilling over while I'm driving. I guess we'll see what happens!

Monday: Mulligan

Tuesday: Swiss Potato Pacake

Wednesday: Ham and Cheese Calzones

Thursday: Leftover Smorgasbord

Friday: Smothered Chicken and Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Saturday: Chicken Corn Chowder

Sunday: Carnitas Soft Tacos

Other goodies I plan to make this week:
Granola

I feel a little like I'm just copying and pasting from past menus ... I promise we really do use our menus. Some weeks are easier than others and sometimes everything just doesn't work out ... and we end up not having everything on the menu. I planned my monthly menu today and discovered that of the 20 meal ideas I planned last month, we only used 10! *sigh* Oh, well. I guess that just means fewer meals to plan and buy for this month.

Monday: Bean and Spinach Burritos with Avocado Relish

Tuesday: Now that’s a baked potato

Wednesday: Cheesy Stuffed Shells

Thursday: Leftover Smorgasbord

Friday: Stroganoff

Saturday: Carnitas Soft Tacos

Sunday: Bow-tie Chicken Caesar Salad

Other goodies I plan to make this week:
Granola
Bread
