I have been gone for WAY too long and my wallet (and scale) are showing the results... and they are NOT good. I have been working 3 jobs, 2 of which have very random hours, and have been having some medical issues of late so most weeks I also have multiple doctor's appointments (from PT to psych to my PCP to specialists). Thus my plans have just not been doable. But for March I am refocusing on saving money and getting healthier which means getting back to the basics such as eating at home. I cleaned out and organized my freezer and pantry so I knew what I had. Then I made my monthly meal list based off of that and yesterday I did my big shop for the month. So I should be all ready to go!

Here is my list starting on Monday:
Monday: Turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, and gravy
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Tilapia with crab stuffing, wild rice, and roasted brussels sprouts
Thursday: Slow cooker creamy Italian chicken over rice
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Sesame chicken, rice, and broccoli

I have been making a list of the ones that sound yummy. Plan on looking them up on allrecipes & food network. Seeing what I can do to add a little excitement to dinner AND not have to hear my kid say one more time "We are having mexican chicken soup AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hopefully in the next few weeks I can contribute something. Keep the good ideas coming!

You guys are so organized! I wish I could meal plan like you all, but crazy work hours and a picky fiance makes it kinda hard.

I'd love to join in your board! I made bbq boneless pork ribs in the slow cooker for dinner tonight.
Lunch tomorrow will be breaded chicken patties, mashed potatoes and gravy, with leftovers going with me to work.

I haven't posted on this thread in a long, long time...years? I do however, try to plan meals. It makes life so much easier when I already know what we are having for dinner. Some weeks go well, some are an epic failure. Here is this week's plan:

Friday - I had the stomach virus, no food in the house. I did all I could to make pancakes and smoothies
Saturday - I had another smoothie, one kid had boxed mac and cheese, the other kid made herself a salad from a kit
Sunday - chicken parm over pasta
Monday - beef with snow peas over jasmine rice
Tuesday - Subway sandwiches we brought home (no drinks, no chips), salad that I made
today - chicken fajitas
Thursday - slow cooker cheesy chicken and yellow rice, salad

Welcome back!

And now I've planned and gone food shopping for the next few days:


Friday – I'm going to make the chicken and broccoli wreath from pampered chef where you lay out crescent roll dough and put the filling in and wrap it up in a circle. I made it for Christmas eve and my daughter loved it. Will probably have salad or fruit with that.

Saturday – I bought us, my mom and sister tickets to see Aladdin on Broadway tomorrow for Christmas. So, we'll eat out in NYC.

Sunday – spaghetti, garlic bread, salad

Monday – chicken marsala, mashed potatoes, frozen brussel sprouts

Tuesday – corned beef and cabbage

 

[LilyWDW]

I'm going to post my meals for the rest of this month. Once I get my schedule from one of my too many part time jobs, I can finish up April's meal plan.

Through the weekend will just be whatever I can come up with. Most likely sandwiches and frozen meals since I work every night and I was sick yesterday so didn't get to make the Chicken Manicotti. I may try to make some fried rice or stir fry tomorrow afternoon that I can eat through Sunday. I also take into account leftovers and eat them because I want to not waste that money/food. Right now I am aiming to eat out only up to twice a month which I have already met for this month *sigh*.

Monday: Lamb shanks, colcannon, and peas
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Leftovers or frozen meal
Thursday: Chicken parmesan and spaghetti with roasted red pepper sauce
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Braised short ribs with goat cheese polenta
Sunday: Leftovers
