Menu Monday

We eat entirely too often around our home... especially at the beginning of the month when there are groceries! I know it's because we are home during the day, and the opportunities for grazing and snacking are abundant. In order to save on groceries and help us out with self control, my kitchen is going to be officially closed unless it is a mealtime or snack time.

Therefore, I planned my menu in a little more detail this week. We will see how it goes... I am just as bad as the kids! Maybe I should put some caution tape across the walkway into my kitchen or something... just kidding! Self control is a good thing.

Menu Monday... or Wednesday!

Some of my friends post their menus on Mondays, and I think this is a great idea... I love supper ideas! I usually plan my menu according to day:
Monday- Chicken
Tuesday- Crock Pot
Wednesday-Meatless
Thursday-Beef
Friday- Homemade pizza or nachos
Saturday- Breakfast for dinner
Sunday- Popcorn, Cereal, Ramens.... fend for yourself

This week has not gone according to plan so far... see previous post...
Thursday- we are actually going to stay after practice and picnic at the park, so I don't know
Friday- Nachos before the football game
*I usually open a can of black beans, mix on stovetop with mozzarella, pour over nachos, broil for a few minutes, then add sour cream and salsa
Saturday- This week it's good ole country breakfast... Bacon, eggs, biscuits n gravy

My mother-in-law sent us two cast iron biscuit pans to make her husband's world famous biscuits in, so we are all looking forward to this week's breakfast!
