Menu Plan Monday

Although I don't always get to post my menus, I have been planning my family's weekly menus for about 2 years now. I remember when I was first married and starting my family I never knew what to cook for dinner and had no system in mind. Menu Planning has become such a must for me, I can't believe I ever grocery shopped without my plan. I don't know why it has taken me so long in my marriage to implement this task. However, I am a big supporter of menu planning and would encourage anyone to try it. I love it and it works for me!

Here is what my family is eating this week:

Monday: Grilled Hamburger Steaks with Roasted Onions, Tatar Tots, Pasta Salad

Tuesday: Pizza Stuffed Garlic Rolls, Applesauce

Wednesday: Cheese Manicotti

Thursday: Sweet & Sour Chicken over Ramon Noodles - for the kids (and rice for me)

Friday: Chicken Chili, Corn bread

Saturday: Chicken Fajitas

Sunday: Leftovers

I linked the recipes for these meals, however I use recipes as a guideline and don't always follow the recipe exactly. I add my own variation and do my own thing.

If you want to join in the fun and post your menus or to visit other menus you can visit Laura, The Organized Junkie here.

Menu Plan Monday

I really have been learning to be more organized and I love the progress I have made. One thing that I have started awhile ago is planning out my weekly menus. I used to participate in Laura, The Organized Junkie's Menu Plan Monday. Although I have continued making my menus I just have not posted them here for awhile. Since I have been struggling with continuing posting and knowing what to write about, I thought by posting my menus that I keep anyways might help me to get back into the routine of posting on my blog. Therefore, here is my family’s menu this week:

Monday:
Lunch: Chicken Lunchmeat Sandwiches, carrots & peas, and bananas
Snack: Gram Crackers
Dinner: Italian Chicken, cheesy vegetable melody, potatoes

Tuesday:
Lunch: Grilled Cheese, green beans, oranges
Snack: Pizza Rolls
Dinner: Bruschetta Chicken Bake

Wednesday:
Lunch: Fish Sticks, French Fries, Pineapple
Snack: Snack Crackers with Peanut butter
Dinner: Hamburgers, onion rings

Thursday:
Lunch: Chicken Wings, corn, Oranges
Snack: Cereal
Dinner: Fajitas

Friday:
Lunch: Tacos
Snack: Peanut butter bread
Dinner: Omelets, toast, hash browns

Over the past couple of months since I have been doing this it has been such a benifit to me in more than one way.

Monday

Lunch: Tacos

Snack:Chocolate Chip Cookies

Dinner: Homemade Pizza

Tuesday

Lunch: Philly Steaks

Snack: Pudding/ Jello

Dinner: Chicken Tosadas

Wednesday

Lunch: Hot Dogs

Snack: Corn Muffin

Dinner: Beef Stroganoff

Thursday

Snack: Garlic Rolls

Dinner: Fried Chicken (Hubby is cooking)

Friday

Saturday morning we leave for Ohio to visit family & friends for the next week and for Thanksgiving. I am so ready for our vacation and some time off.
