Menu Plan Monday




Ok another week, means another round of blog posts.I really have been having a lot of fun with these!

One thing that I have always wanted to do, is be organized to have a meal plan. To go and get groceries for certain meals. Not plan to make something and then realize that I don't have that 1 ingredient! However, I do have a couple of things that are "just in case I don't feel like making what I have planned!"

So this is one that I really wanted to get into. So here goes:

Monday:
B: cereal
D:meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, rolls, brocoli ( Harm is @ Girl Scouts)

Tuesday:(Ben and Harmony are gone)
B: pancakes ( leftover from this weekend)
D:cresant dogs, mac & cheese, fruit

Wednesday:
B:muffins & fruit
D: baked pineapple chicken, rice

Thursday:
B:cold cereal
D: "hamburger helper" ( a noodle dish that is similar to hamburger helper)

Friday:
B:free choice
D:hamburgers, carmel apple salad, oven baked fries

Saturday:
B:cinnamon rolls & scrambled eggs ( Harm gone)
L:mac & cheese
D:leftovers

Sunday:( mornings are hard because of church!)
B:???
L:???
D:chicken & rice casserole, rolls,
dessert: devils food cookies ( We decided to try and only have 1 dessert a week!) These cookies are a low fat recipe and only 2 pts. each)

I know exactly what you're saying about having a meal plan. I could easily make 4 trips to the grocery store in a week, one big one, one for milk, one for the missing ingredient, one for whatever! I've only done these plans for a couple weeks, but it's definitely helped cut down on the grocery store visits! This menu looks terrific! Can you share the devils food cookies recipe, because that sound very yummy and I'm always looking for healthier treats!

I have found I'm less stressed about meals since starting MPM because I try not to put things on the menu I don't have groceries for if I know I won't have time to shop that week. I'd love the cookie recipe, also. My boys would ge thrilled if I make a dessert.
