I must have planned a little better last week. It was the first week in a long time that we actually ate every meal on my menu plan.
Monday: Baked Chicken, Mashed Sweet Potatoes (Betty Crocker), Fresh Pineapple
- I stock up on bone-in chicken breasts when they go on sale for $0.99 per pound. There are usually 3 very large breasts per pack, so it is plenty for dinner (even with a teen-age son) and leftovers for lunches.
- I have some russets in the pantry that need to be used. I'll bake them on Monday with the chicken.
- I bought three hams over the last month to six weeks. Quite a bit of it ended up in the freezer. I'm going to put some kind of ham dish on the menu each week.
- My husband will be gone for dinner. There should be more leftovers this week than what we will use for lunches. My son and I will clean out whatever is left in the fridge.
- This is one of my son's and husband's favorite dish, and probably one of the most unhealthy dishes we eat.
- I'm hoping fresh broccoli will be on sale somewhere this week, and if not, I'll use frozen.
- Beans are the only thing on this week's menu that need to buy. I've saved a ton of money planning my menus from what I already have on hand, and spending my grocery budget on what's on sale.
What's for dinner at your house this week?
