Meal Plan Monday: Sept 16–22, 2013

I can’t believe I forgot to post this again, haha.  Here is my meal plan for this week.

MONDAY	Lasagna Homemade Garlic toast and Homemade Cheesy Mozzarella Toast *No left overs this time! How’d that happen?!
TUESDAY	Frugal Chili (recipe is HERE)
WEDNESDAY (Left Over Night)	Chili Dogs
THURSDAY (GRILL NIGHT)	Steak Baked Potatoes Rice Steamed Veggies – (MY STEAMER is like this one, just older model– LOVE IT!)
FRIDAY	It’s the weekend and everyone is busy!  So this is our “FEND FO’ YO’SELF NIGHT!”
SATURDAY	TBA:  The kids will be with their Dad, so not sure what I’ll do for myself. Probably just throw a pizza in the oven.  Remember when I bought all these to last us through the summer? Don’t laugh, I got 80 Pizzas & Pizza Rolls for $40 Well summer is about over, and I still have about half a deep freeze of pizzas.  Am wanting to clear those out so I can stock up on meat for the winter. Plus, I usually do them little suckers up right! I add EVERYTHING.  Green and red bells, olives, baby spinach, tomatoes, and either mozzarella or provolone!
SUNDAY	Probably, Breakfast For Dinner.   There is just something about a big breakfast on Sunday that reminds me of being a kid, and since the kids wont be here when I get up, I imagine, I’ll end up cooking Breakfast for dinner.   I usually do up: Scrambled Eggs Honey Butter Biscuits Homemade Sausage Gravy Maple Bacon

So, not such a bad week for me, overall.  Grocery wise: I spent $177 and some change – BUT I still need to buy fresh veggies for THURSDAY, and more milk and bread.  So I would say my food budget for this week hit around $250 which seems about normal.  I am desperately trying to figure out how to get that weekly total DOWN.  So if you have any tips, please share them! LOL
