Meal Plan Monday

Got your week all planned, yet?

We’re continuing on with the kids having a cooking night.  They enjoy learning how to cook, dare I say, almost as much as I enjoy a night off!  =D

So here’s our plan for this week:

MONDAY (BUB’S NIGHT)

Hamburger Helper
Mashed Potatoes
Salad

TUESDAY (Sis’S NIGHT)

Burgers
Fries

 

WEDNESDAY

Do you plan your weeks cooking ahead of time?  I do.  On Sunday Friday morning I sit down in my office and I plan out what we are going to eat all week.

Meal planning for me, really, is pretty easy.  My Mr. works a weird shift at work that rotates so he is only home for dinner a few nights per week.  Those nights I try to cook a NICE meal with the trimmings.  I mean, he works hard and he deserves it.

On the nights Mr. C isn’t home, I still cook, but those meals are more KID FRIENDLY.  Anything to lessen the amount of whining I have to listen to – WORKS.  lol…

Once I have my “loose” menu made (because lets be honest here…sometimes I just don’t feel like making what’s on the list!), I head upstairs to check the pantry and fridge and make out my grocery list for the week.

Mr C likes to go shopping at like 3am when there is NO ONE in their right (or wrong) mind at Wal-Mart.  Since he is used to being up all night anyway, and I hate to go to Wal-Mart this works for us.  Plus, he seems to spend a lot less when he goes shopping with my list – than we do when I go shopping with my list. LOL!

So what’s on your menu for this week?
