Meal plan didn't go as planned last week. My boyfriend took us out one night and we ate the leftovers for lunch. One night I had to do a burger king run because I was out finishing up stocking shopping. Now that the Christmas rush is over, we should be better.
Edit: I just dug through our fridge and pantry. I totally forgot about the loaded mashed potatoes from Christmas that we needed to eat (soooo good). Then the little one requested more chili so I was able to dig through the freezer and pantry to come up with everything I needed there too. So meal plan Monday - take 2!
Um - take like 8. I don't know why I plan meals when I can't stick to them?
What we'll be eating:
Monday
Breakfast - french toast & juice
Lunch - canned turkey chili on loaded mashed potatoes (freeze rest of potatoes)
Dinner - lentil/sausage chili on rice
Tuesday
Breakfast - Raisin/pecan oatmeal
Lunch - salad with shredded chicken, cheese, egg, peas & carrots (DDs favorite btw)
Dinner - lentil/sausage chili on rice leftovers (freeze rest for Sat lunch) & salad - taco bell. I suck. $5 blown.
Wednesday
Breakfast - Oatmeal or cereal, will let the little one pick
Lunch - salad with shredded ham, cheese, egg, peas & carrots egg salad sandwiches - I let the kid choose - she really likes eggs - we also had some of the lentil chili
Dinner - spaghetti & frozen veggies & salad In a week moment, we went out for Chinese with my Mom. I have to try to curb that in 2011. $12 blown.
Thursday
Breakfast - sausage, eggs, grit & cheese casserole I'm not going to make this. We have so much cereal and oatmeal to eat up.
Lunch - salad with shredded chicken, cheese, egg, peas & carrots
Dinner - beef tacos & leftover veggies from Monday night (ground beef from last week is now gone!) & salad Date night! The boy is going to feed us! woohoo lol (actually he feeds us one a week if not twice, I should have planned for that).
Friday
Breakfast - french toast & baked apples
Lunch - sausage, eggs, grit & cheese casserole leftovers (freeze all leftovers) - use up the last of the lentil/sausage chili - try to freeze it and not toss it - I'm already sick of it.
Dinner - at boyfriends - party
Saturday
Breakfast - omelets
Lunch - lentil/sausage chili on rice leftovers & salad - please nooooo more lentils! I'll make the salad extra fancy somehow.
Dinner - ham, corn, green beans, cooked cabbage & leftover baked apples & salad (freeze cabbage)
Sunday
Breakfast - Oatmeal or cereal, will let the little one pick
Lunch - chicken tacos & salad (if the salad has lasted this long lol)
Dinner - at Moms
I will need to buy:
Milk (3.44)
tub of lettuce (4.78)
eggs (1.64)
a head of cabbage (X 2 - 1.36)
loaf of bread (.78)
chips ($3 for 3 cans of pringles on special)
ham (2.98)
3 chicken breasts ($3.28)
4 apples ($1.90)
bag of frozen peas (.87)
This all came out to $27.60 with tax. The only thing that might roll to next week is some of the ham. They had a special on a non-lunchmeat pack for $3 a pound. It actually looks like real ham instead of weird rectangles. Oh and the cabbage, I plan to cook it all and freeze the leftover. It was 25 cents a pound and I got 5-6 pounds.
What I'm using from our stockpile:
butter
bread
syrup
eggs
carrots
fruit (we have tangerines & apples from last week)
the GB from last week
tortilla shells I found in the back of the pantry
oatmeal or cereal
some cheese from last week
salad dressing from last week
turkey sausage X 2 (I'm down to like 2 of these, oh joy oh joy!)
6 small cans of tomato sauce (I am so glad to see these go, I'm overstocked and have been for a year)
2/3 bag of lentils
bell peppers from freezer
bag of veggies from freezer
onions
grits
chili seasonings X 2
can of chili
corn
green beans
