Happy Monday friends! I’m so excited to be joining OrgJunkie’s Menu Plan Monday feature this week!
I love having a menu plan each week…it makes my life SO much easier. On Saturdays, I usually take an hour or so to go through my new coupons, check out my local grocery store’s weekly ad, and plan our dinners for the week around what’s on sale and what I already have on hand in the freezer and cupboard. This way, I know what I’m making every night and don’t have to frantically throw something together at the last minute or order take out.
Here’s what I have on the menu this week:
Monday: Taco Night (ground beef, refried beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, tortillas) and corn
Tuesday: Creamy Skillet Penne with Sausage and Broccoli
Wednesday: Homemade ham and olive pizza, salad
Thursday: Hamburgers on the grill, sweet potato fries, fruit
Friday: Breakfast for Dinner
Saturday: Brats on the grill, corn on the cob, chips
Sunday: Dinner at a friend’s house
I’m also planning to do a bit of freezer cooking this week as well:
What’s on your menu for the week?

June 24, 2013 at 10:15 pmHi Erin…thanks for stopping by! My family loves the skillet penne, and it’s great because there is only one pot to wash afterward 🙂

June 24, 2013 at 11:14 pmWelcome to MPM! OrgJunkie has a great link-up going on. I find it to be very resourceful when I can’t think of something new to eat.

June 25, 2013 at 4:31 pmHi! I’m stopping by from Menu Plan Monday. I used to do breakfast for dinner once each week. I’d forgotten about that tradition. It might be time to start up again! Thanks for the reminder! 🙂
