My Mundane Musings

Growing up I longed for the fast paced life of big city life and corporate America. Now I’m a stay at home mom of 4 in a small rural community! And I wouldn’t have it any other way! (At least for now).

Menu Plan Monday… April 28, 2008

Filed under: family, food, kids, life, menu — mymundanemusings @ 9:02 am

I’m really, really struggling with a menu this week. I want fast, simple, so-easy-my-kids-can-make-it meals. I should have thought ahead. I should have frozen something for this week. I should have, would have, could have if I had actually looked at my calendar for this week in particular. Things are crazy busy and I’m going to be crazy tired by the ends of the day. But I’m pretty sure Chip and the kids are going to want to eat, so I’ll come up with a menu of sorts.

Monday - Frozen Pizza

Tuesday - Chicken & Couscous

Wednesday - Spaghetti

Thursday - Enchiladas (because I never made them last week)

Friday - Grilled Chicken Legs (because I can make Chip cook them if they are on the grill)

Saturday - Turkey Stroganoff

Sunday - Leftovers

 

Menu Plan Monday… April 7, 2008

Last week went pretty good. We moved a couple meals around and never did eat the spinach calzones. We ARE having them this week though. We can’t go out to eat *on* my birthday, so I’m making them on Wednesday.

Monday - out for my birthday. Chip asked his dad to babysit so he could take me out for dinner. We’re going to Texas Roadhouse because I’m really wanting steak again.

Tuesday - Chicken & couscous. This is a staple in our house. We love us some couscous.

Wednesday - Chicken spinach calzones

Thursday - Grilled meat with potatoes. Not sure what kind of meat it will be - it will depend on what’s on sale or what I’m wanting when we wander the meat section at the Kroger tomorrow.

Friday - out for Noah’s birthday. We’ll do Chuck E. Cheese for lunch and then not sure for dinner.

Saturday - Pizza. I want something with minimal mess and even less leftovers. We leave after church on Sunday for Wisconsin.

Sunday - Gram’s Fried Chicken! My Gram called today as we were waiting on our table for lunch and asked what we wanted for dinner. In unison, the older three kids all started begging for fried chicken. I just can’t make it like Gram does so I don’t even try anymore.

It’s going to be a busy week. I’m hoping with a menu the temptation to eat out won’t be there. We’ll see how things go. Especially since I’m still not feeling very well.
