It’s Monday–time to share our dinner-time game plans for the week! A little effort with meal planning at the beginning of the week helps me to provide my family with nutritious, budget-friendly meals, and also allows me to get my act together when our family’s headed in several different directions.
I’m on a mission to use up some of the things in my freezer, so that’s where the inspiration for most of my meals came from this week.
Here’s my plan:
Monday: Pot Roast in the Crock Pot, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, green beans
Tuesday: Chicken Stir Fry over noodles
Wednesday: Spaghetti and Meatballs, garlic bread, salad, applesauce
Thursday: Pork chops on the George Foreman grill, rice, veggie
Friday & Saturday: My daughter and I will be at a Mother-Daughter retreat, so we’ll come up with a couple “dad-friendly” options for my husband and the boys to choose from (he’s actually a pretty good cook, so no worries!)
Sunday: Ham in the crock pot, au gratin potatoes, green beans (bumped from last week–our weekend didn’t go quite as planned!)
How about you–what’s on your menu this week? Do you have any tips for meals on busy nights? Join the conversation in the comments or on Facebook!
