Menu Plan Monday – Week of August 5, 2013

Aug 5 | Meal Planning

It’s menu time!  I’ve got a few new recipes to try out this week that I’m looking forward to.  I seem to go through these spurts of being okay with the same old meals  then wanting to try new recipes all.the.time.

Chicken Satay with Peanut Noodles

Turkey Burgers, steamed veggies

Beef Tacos with all the fixings

BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches (Slow Cooker), corn on the cob, Southwest salad (minus the chicken)

Out for Dinner

Dessert:  Lemon Cheesecake Bars with Raspberries

For fun this week, I thought I would do my grocery shopping then post the pictures and prices so you can see what I needed to create this week’s menu!

Here’s what I bought and what I paid at Walmart Canada:

Royale bathroom tissue (12 doubles)  $4.88 – $1 coupon from GoCoupons = $3.88
Honey Nut Cheerios  $4.47 – FREE coupon = freeOld El Paso dinner kit  $4.00 – FREE Coupon = free
Dairy Milk Bubbles  $1.50 – FREE coupon = free
Astro yogurt  $2.97
Black beans  $1.15
Catelli pasta  $1.00
Mushrooms  $1.77
Ground Beef  $5.25
Dempster’s hamburger buns  $3.97 – $1.00 rebate from Checkout 51 = $2.97
Pitas  $3.83
Cream cheese (2)  $4.94
Celery  $1.27
Spinach  $1.47
Broccoli crowns  $0.75
Lime  $0.25
Cucumber  $0.97
Bananas (5)  $1.51
Corn on the cob (3)  $0.99

TOTAL:  $33.83

Obviously not everything is for dinner this week.  Included is stuff for snacks/lunches/breakfast. I was also hoping to buy some chicken breasts but Walmart didn’t have any of the sale packages left.  I anticipate another quick grocery trip to buy some milk once we run out.

Breakfast Refrigerator Oatmeal

So, just as I suspected, the menu I had figured out for last week didn’t get made for the most part.  The only thing that I made were the Peanutty Asian lettuce Wraps.  Other than that we were out and about or eating bunwiches or grilled cheese sandwiches :p   Now that my Mother in law is back home, some sense of normalcy can return!

Teriyaki Meatballs, rice, steamed veggies

Perogies & Sausage, steamed veggies

Melt in your Mouth Chicken, pasta, steamed veggies

Steak, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, salad

Bacon Cheese Burger Chicken, Freezer Mashed Potatoes, salad

Jul 22 | Meal Planning

A bit late, but it’s still Monday, so I guess it’s all good in regards to Menu Plan Monday! 🙂  I’ve had a bit of a chaotic weekend (wedding, mother-in-law arriving, MRI procedure for m…) so I haven’t had a chance to think about what we’re eating this week until now.

I’m not expecting things to go 100% according to plan since my Mother in law is visiting, but it’s still good to have a plan!

Perogies & Sausage, steamed veggies

Melt in your Mouth Chicken, leftover pasta, steamed veggies (carried over)

Steak, baked potatoes, corn on the cob, salad

Peanutty Asian lettuce wraps (served over rice, instead of in lettuce leaves), green beans

Bacon Cheese Burger Chicken, Freezer Mashed Potatoes, salad

Lunches:

• Smoothies
• Scrambled eggs with cheese, fruit
• Grilled cheese sandwich
• Hummus with pita bread and Greek salad
• Egg salad bunwiches

Breakfasts:

• Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal (x2)
• Peanut Butter toast, fruit (x3)
• Homemade Instant oatmeal (x2)

Now it’s your turn, what will you be eating this week?

Menu Plan Monday – Week of July 15, 2013

Jul 15 | Meal Planning

Last week was way less stressful since I had a solid menu plan and not just some ideas floating around in my head!  It sure helped with the grocery bill too, since I only went out shopping once all week!

How did your week go in regards to menu planning?  Did you try any new recipes?

Here’s what I’ve got in mind for this week:

Menu Plan Monday – Week of July 8, 2013

Jul 8 | Meal Planning

Alright, Menu Plan Monday is back!  I have to admit, I’ve been a slacker in the menu planning department lately and it’s been causing me some grief.   Not only have I been unmotivated to put together a well rounded meal, it’s been apparent that I’ve been making too many trips to the grocery store each week.

I’m hoping that by posting our weekly menu, I’ll be motivated to stick with the plan and help you to find some new recipes!  It’s also important for me to plan properly so I’m not stressing out about what I should feed Sienna.  Some things are still hard for her to eat.  Like salads.  All I want to eat these days are big dinner sized salads, but Sienna can’t do lettuce or most raw veggies yet!  So, I have to make sure our meals have enough parts that to appeal to her, since I’m not making two meals at each meal time!

Here’s what I’ve got planned:

Tuscan Garlic chicken

Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Sandwiches (Sienna will get everything but the lettuce)

French Toast with bacon

Homemade pizza with salad

Slow Cooker Thai Peanut Pork with Rice and steamed veggies

Lunches:

• Smoothies
• Scrambled eggs with cheese, fruit
• Grilled cheese sandwich
• Hummus with pita bread and Greek salad

Breakfasts:

• Overnight Refrigerator Oatmeal (x2)
• Peanut Butter toast, fruit (x3)
• Homemade Instant oatmeal (x2)

Are you menu planning these days?  What’s on your menu this week?

This week I’m trying a couple of new recipes that I think sound tasty!  Although, Jesse may not agree…he could live off of peanut butter toast and cereal!

Here’s what I have in mind:

Monday:  I’ll be inviting myself over to Mom & Dad’s since Jesse will be at an out of town soccer game
Tuesday:  Asian Vegetable Pasta (I’ll add some chicken)
Wednesday:  not quite sure, have to make a trip to the airport
Thursday:  Crock pot BBQ Meatballs, rice, veggies
Friday: PF Chang’s Lettuce Wraps
