Meal Plan Monday

I just wanted to thank you for reading and commenting on my "Just Start" post (just below). I appreciate your thoughts and look forward to writing about it and discussing with you more.

Like I said last Monday, we are in "use it up" mode around here. Last week I gave a list of stuff that we have on hand.

This week will incorporate everything we already have on hand and will look something like this...

Meals -

Monday - Noodles & Gravy (not the best name, but it's a classic we haven't had for awhile) w/ farmer's market veggies (carrots, green beans, and squash)
Tuesday - Leftovers - from Monday night and we have some from a potato quiche this past weekend
Wednesday - Roasted Chicken w/ potatoes and veggies
Thursday - Sandwiches on whole grain bread with veggies from the farmer's market and leftover chicken
Friday - Curry stir fry
Saturday - Maybe another potato quiche or hamburgers with a potato side dish - we'll see how many potatoes we have left!
Sunday - Leftovers (our last night here...)

Happy meal planning to you this week! Don't forget to check out the other Meal Plans over at Organizing Junkie!

  3. I'm enjoying your blog for the first time!
    Believe it or not, I haven't ever made the "Chicken & Veggies" in the crockpot that you mentioned back on Sept 24. :-) Sounds like a great idea!
    I'm trying to find cheaper meal plans that include more vegetables. I feel like we can eat cheaply, but it is not always healthy . . . so I'm on the hunt for inexpensive, healthy, not too complicated menus!! (Isn't everybody?!)
    Thanks for sharing your recipes!

  5. Raelene & Erica - I was just thinking about leftover and how easily I use them. I hate to think that there are more leftovers in the fridge than one meal (for all 3 of us). I like to stay on top of what gets left so that we don't waste food and have to throw stuff out.

    Becky - I, too, always want to make sure we're eating healthy and not just cheap. I just put together a long list of vegetarian and vegan meals that I want to try (even though we are neither).

    Kelli - Thanks for stopping by and bookmarking this site!
