So much for menu planning
on Sunday I sat down and wrote out a menu for the week, so i could play along in the Menu Plan Monday. Laura from I'm an organizing junkie http://orgjunkie.blogspot.com/ made this look so easy. I thought hey what a good idea I won't have to be thinking "whats for dinner" everyday I would just look at my plan.
I don't know why I thought this would work for me LOL I am not a planner. Lets take a look at how I have done so far this week.
here was my menu plan:
Monday: Hamburgers, tater tots and Green Beans(fast and easy since I'm going to be gone most all day)
Tuesday: Thanksgiving dinner of sorts because i have a turkey taking up too much space, I'll be cooking the turkey, mash potatoes, gravy, stuffing and corn.
Wednesday: angle hair pasta and meatballs with a salad and garlic bread
Thursday: Fish, Corn and Macaroni & Cheese
Friday:Smoked Sausage, green beans and a box mix of julienne potatoes that my MIL gave us since she didn't want them in her cabinet anymore :)
Here is what we ate:
Monday: Fish Corn and Macaroni and Cheese
Tuesday: we did eat the turkey dinner
Wednesday: leftover turkey dinner from the night before
Thursday: is today, and today is Princess birthday, so I told her she could go into the kitchen look at everything we have and pick whatever she wanted for dinner tonight and that is what we will have. WELL she picked the frozen self rising crust Pizza I had up there. I told her whatever she wanted so that is what she is going to get, that should be enough food for the kids. For me and DH I'm not going to cook a whole meal just for us, so I'm going to do the frozen Chicken Taquitos and get some salsa and chips to go with it.
Friday: I don't know what I was thinking on Sunday when i wrote out this menu plan. Friday night is Princess's birthday party and we are ordering pizza to feed everyone. I might do something simple and easy before the Pizza(which we won't be eating till 7:30pm) maybe soup and sandwiches or something. but I'm not going to be cooking a dinner.
Well so much for menu planning LOL.
I do like sort of having a plan so I think I'll continue to do this on Mondays, Maybe ;)

We were suppose to have beef n noodles tonight with the leftover beef from the roast yest. We had pizza;0 I think it does help to at least know you have it on hand and can mix it up if that's not what you feel like. Good job with the planning!
