Here is my meal plan for the upcoming week - what I have lined up for dinner from Dec. 6- 12, 2010:
(Note: For my family, breakfast is usually a rotation of oatmeal, muffins, pancakes, banana or other fruit, cereal or toast. On weekends, I will sometimes cook classic or new twists to french toast, egg casserole, a hash brown dish or more. When I do, I'll share those here. Lunch is usually leftovers, soup or sandwich. Therefore in my weekly meal plans, I usually only concentrate on dinners and 2-3 snacks per week).
Monday, Dec. 6 - Hamburger (Sheperd's) Pie, side salad
Tuesday, Dec. 7 - Avocado Chicken Salad, guacamole dip and chips (guacamole recipe is from my cookbook)
Wednesday, Dec. 8 - Leftovers or Family Dinner Outing
Thursday, Dec. 9 - Ham and Potato Casserole (recipe is from my cookbook)
Friday, Dec. 10 - Hot dogs and Sloppy Joes (recipe for Sloppy Joes is from my cookbook)
Saturday, Dec. 11 - Shrimp and Grits - will modify this recipe for it, I think
Sunday, Dec. 12 - Sweet and Savory Meatballs, side of corn and salad
Woo-hoo, it's going to be a yummy dinner week in my household! There will be a lot of leftovers too. But they'll be going straight into my freezer so I can eat them again in a few weeks when I don't feel like cooking!
Here are the snack and desserts I hope to make this week too:
Homemade bread using my new breadmaker - still looking for the right recipe to try!
Pumpkin cobbler
Chocolate toffee bars

ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I'll just call you Martha, short for Martha Stewart!!! I'm organized like this too. If I were a full-time mom, I'd probably have the same kind of system.
ReplyDeleteWe were just discussing Shepherd's Pie last night, wondering if I could substitute the Ore-Ida Steam n Mash potatoes for regular ones. It's more expensive but I hate peeling potatoes!
can't get to the meatball recipe, but i'll bet it's b/c my computer is being a pitb today, not the site's fault :(
ReplyDeletecheck you out mama!!!! So very very very proud of you!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you do much crock pot cooking???
