Meal Plan Monday

While a have a few "baby free" minutes, I wanted to share my meal plan for the week. First of all, I bought this dry erase board from Target a while back with this purpose in mind. I wasn't sure if this was exactly what I wanted, but it has turned out to be perfect! I have it on the side of our fridge, and that way Anthony can always know what to expect for dinner, so that is nice.




Okay, on to this week's plan....

Monday: Bruschetta Chicken Bake
Green Beans

Tuesday: Sausage, Egg & Cheese Muffins
Hash Browns

Wednesday: Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Chips
Pickle Spears

Thursday: Beef Enchiladas
Spanish Rice

Friday: Chicken Nuggets
Mac & Cheese


I'm still struggling with bringing myself to plan for Saturday and/or Sunday. I just feel like those should be "lazy" days and we just eat whatever we find around the house, but often, it ends up that we go out to eat, spending money that I don't really want to spend. I'm thinking of buying something easy from the store to fix, but something that I wouldn't buy for a normal night, so that way it's still something special, but easy, and cheaper than going out to eat. Still thinking on that though.

Note about the Sausage, Egg & Cheese Muffins..... I'm using Thomas's English Muffins for those, and Martin's has them on sale for 3/$3 this week, which is an incredible price for those! I'll be stocking up on those tomorrow. :)

I didn't go to the store today because I had to be home, because the Ntelos guys came today to give us a new box, because I am surprising Anthony with DVR for our TV! He has been wanting to get it and would drop the hint to me every now and then, but I had just not wanted to cough up the $8 a month that it costs. But then last week or so, he said something to push me over the edge. He proctors SAT's at his school a few times a year, and if you do the math, one paycheck from doing that pays for the DVR for the whole year. So with that in mind, I decided to cave, but I wanted it to be a surprise for him. He should be home in hopefully an hour or so, so I'll let you know how it goes later! :)
