Weekly Meal Plan: Week of November 28, 2011

Whew!  Last week was so busy getting ready for Thanksgiving and wrapping up at school for a long week that there were several nights we just grabbed something quick.  I just could not find time to get into the kitchen and cook.  As a mother, I felt some guilt feeding my kids fast food and frozen pizza, so I have made it my goal to have a very well stocked pantry and some meals in the freezer for the next time that I have zero time to get into the kitchen and cook a meal. And wahoo!  It is finally getting cold enough for us to enjoy soups more often so I have planned several nights of yummy soup!

Have a great week!

Menu Plan: Week of August 21, 2011

I didn't fall off the face of the planet.  It has been so super busy around here the last two weeks that I didn't have time to blog.  Between planning and having our family reunion, getting the kids ready to go back to school and a business trip to Myrtle Beach (I know...right...it was so awful to have to work in such an ugly location...lol) that I just couldn't find any extra time.  But I am back and getting family life back to normal so back to the weekly routine of planning out meals for the week.  My kids start school today so that means planning for all three meals, but for now, I am only including dinner.  I do want to do some baking this week.  I like to have muffins on hand for the girl's lunchboxes, breakfast or for an after school snack.

So here it is for the week.

Uh....where did July go?  I can't believe this is the last full week of the month. School will be starting really soon so I guess I should get in gear and get ready.  Last week was crazy with vacation bible school and sleepovers, so this week I think we will be taking it easy and getting organized for school.  We also have a family reunion, so I will be testing some heirloom recipes.

It is super hot right now and I have no desire to heat up my kitchen/house.  I will be making meals that don't require a lot of prep and oven cooking...with a few exceptions.  There are also a couple of meals that I didn't make last week that I will be adding to this week's menu.  We have company coming this weekend so I will be making some desserts and muffins.

Have a great week!

Menu Plan: Week of June 12, 2011

It has been ages since I have posted a weekly menu plan.  Honestly, it has been ages since I actually planned one.  Things were so crazy around here with the end of school, softball practice and games and moving, that I actually didn't have time to plan menus.  I should have because it would have made life much simpler instead of scrambling at the grocery store trying to come up with something on the fly.  So, to help easy the dinnertime craziness, I am trying my very best to get a menu together weekly.

It is already hotter than you know what here in Texas so I am trying not to heat up my kitchen with cooking a lot of meals that require the oven.  Hailey had her tonsils removed a couple of days ago, so I am also trying to incorporate softer foods for her.  However, if it were up to her, she would be eating ice cream and ice pops, but I am trying to get a little more nutritious food in her.

Here is what we will be eating this week:

Meal 1

Lasagna Rollups

Salad

Garlic Bread

Meal 2

Chicken Sandwiches with Wingers Sauce

Hash browns

Meal 3

Fried Pork Chops

Mom's Squash Delight

Green Beans

Meal 4

Tacos w/fixings

Meal 5

Pancakes!!!

Meal 6 

Sloppy Jo's

Tater tots
