This is my menu plan for this week and on into next week, because it’s one of those months. Not only that but we are fully into track season which means long late days of track meets.
So here is my attempt to feed those left at home and those of us on our way home. And anything in between. That and my soon to be working child. Oh and not to mention my cooking challenged husband.
Monday :: Breakfast for Dinner – this could be Dutch Babies or Pancakes
Tuesday :: Panko Chicken with Basil Aioli Making extra aioli to use on sandwiches, so yummy!!
Wednesday :: Pasta, Sausage and Bean Soup-making extra for left overs
Thursday :: Meat and Cheese Plate with Crusty Bread and Olives with big salad (lettuce is $1 this week)- coming home late from a track meet.
Friday :: Formal night. Out to eat as we are shuttling kids around. Tough job, but someone has to do it. 🙂
Saturday :: At track meet all morning and into the late afternoon. Will take lunches and enjoy a coffee out thanks to my Entertainment Book. Pasta Carbonara this one will be made with bacon
Now Planning Meals they can make without me
Sunday :: Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup – I am leaving town for a girls weekend and the family will be coming down off the mountain from snowboarding. Should be easy and warm.
Monday :: Traeger Burgers (burgers on the traeger) with chips and salad
Home again for a 2 Days
Tuesday :: Shoyu Chicken and Rice
Wednesday :: Pot Roast, baked potatoes, bread and salad
My daughter and I leave for a short week
Thursday :: Lasagna – don’t be too impressed with my men, this will be a heat and serve type dish with crusty bread and ceasar salad.
Friday :: Out to eat – up snowboarding
Saturday :: Traeger Pizza – Papa Murphy’s is great on the traeger plus there is always a coupon
Sunday :: Left over lasagna
Back home and want to know what I’m having
Monday :: Traeger burgers – yes again, they love these
Wow! I hope this works out like I hope. That’s a lot of days gone, but looking forward to it nonetheless.

With the economy the way it is, it seems like everyone is cutting back and trying hard not to spend money aimlessly on things. I think this is great. This is something that many people have needed to do for years now. But with so many blogs out there filled with all types of money saving tips, which I too will share, there comes a point where you feel guilty buying something that you truly want or enjoy, but you need to know, it's ok to splurge every now and then.
