Weekly Menu
This is something I started a couple of years ago. I had read that weekly menus help you keep your budget under control by giving you a plan for each day, instead of having to pick up something on the way home, or forgetting to think of anything for dinner in the mad rush of mornings. It has helped our family tremendously to stay in budget and also to not opt for eating out so much, which I can’t afford now anyway. I had not had a weekly menu in place since before we moved from Missouri to Colorado, and I can tell you our budget was suffering. So, now that we’re pretty much settled, and I have a freezer and pantry full of food again, it’s time to get back down to business.
This week’s menu:
Sunday: Chicken soup, corn bread
Monday: Bratwurst, mashed potatoes, milk gravy, veggie
Tuesday: Salsa chicken thighs (crockpot), salad, rice
Wednesday: Frozen Mac and Beef dinner, steamed broccoli
Thursday: Hamburger helper using ground chicken, veggie
Friday: Bean soup (I have a half a pot of this already in the freezer just ready to be warmed up), corn bread
Saturday: Pot roast with potatoes and carrots (probably made in the crockpot but might use the pressure cooker instead)
