I do my menus Monday through Sunday. This week has a lot of simple meals. I have a bunch of stuff going on this coming week, but I also am trying to eat out of the pantry.
Monday 9/19 - Spaghetti with meat sauce, bread or rolls, and veggies
Tuesday 9/20 - Hamburger Helper, rolls, veggies
Wednesday 9/21 - It's my birthday! We are having Chinese. We haven't had Chinese for about a year. Maybe even longer. Maybe less. I don't remember, but I just know it's been a long time. Okay, I've made my own, but it's not the same. We've been saving up so I can order out. Besides, I don't want to cook on my birthday. Besides, my kids don't have school that day, and as much as I love my kids, it doesn't feel like a very good birthday present that they don't have school that day. :X So, Chinese will make me happy.
Thursday 9/22 - Shredded BBQ Pork Sandwiches in the crockpot, chips & veggies
Friday 9/23 - We are having a garage sale at a friend's house. We will either come home and have frozen pizzas or we might have some pizza there. Not sure. We'll work that out. But it's on the menu.
Saturday 9/24 - Day two of the garage sale - something easy - grilled cheese sandwiches & tomato soup.
Sunday - 9/25 - I have decided to have a pantry/leftover day. We have plenty of party pizzas in the freezer as well as tostino pizza rolls. We have Jello in our pantry, or I could defrost some chicken. I might even have hot dogs or brats. I'm not going to worry about it, because whatever we make for that day will come out of the pantry, fridge or freezer, and we'll make do. It will work. I'll have to post about it after we have it.
My grocery list - this is pretty pathetic:
milk
pancake mix
2lb. ground turkey (I get the frozen tubes, because they are really inexpensive, and it's just for Hamburger Helper)
wavy potato chips
fruit - this will be my biggest purchase most likely. I'll probably get some strawberries and blueberries and maybe some mangoes or melon.
microwave popcorn
worchestershire sauce
pickle relish
2lb. ground beef
4-28oz. cans crushed tomatoes or stewed tomatoes
4 - 6oz. cans tomato paste
celery
mushrooms
ear plugs (that's for Zane - I have to put it on the list, because I keep forgetting to look for them. We have the High School less than a mile from our home, and one night a week, the marching band practices until about 9PM. Zane has a hard time going to sleep on those nights, because he can hear it through his window, so he's requested ear plugs. This will stay on my list until I find some and get them for him.)
