Mon – Fried chicken (in 1/4 cup oil), mac & cheese (FF milk, 1/2 the butter), and green beans

Tues – Pinto beans with ham leftover from Sunday and cornbread (made with FF milk)

Wed – Spaghetti & salad

Thurs – Pizza dough night for Scoobers school. Mistakenly thought it was last night. Oops!

Fri – Kielbasa (on sale last week), oven fried potatoes, some sort of vegetable.

Sat - Hamburgers (93% lean beef), potato salad (will cook more potatoes on Thurs for this)

Sun – Tilapia Lemon Pepper (was on sale last week), rice and peas

 Some of these meals sound like high fat, but I cook with very little oil and butter and I only use salt sparingly.



Weekly Meal plan

So, I’ve decided to start up my weekly meal plans again. Now that I’m working part-time and I can go shopping on the weekends, I’m looking at the sale papers and shopping by the sales and making meal plans for 7 days, but trying to stretch it to 10 – 12, if I can.

Here is the meal plan, which runs me through this coming Sunday ( I will include what we did starting with Sat):

Saturday – Ate out

Sunday – Salmon (King Sooper had frozen Teriayki crusted Salmon for $5.99, 2 in the package), rice, green beans and salad

Monday – Chicken enchiladas (had a stockpile of frozen chicken), rice, corn, and salad

Tuesday – Spaghetti and salad

Wednesday – Leftovers (chicken enchiladas or spaghetti)

Thursday – Ordering pizza for school fundraiser $23.00

Friday – Baked chicken, rice and green beans

Saturday – Blue & Gold banquet for Scouts, prepaid tickets ($19)

Sunday – Crockpot ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans and rolls

I’ll be shopping tomorrow or Friday, so I’ll post that menu plan for next week by the weekend.
