Menu Plan Monday--week of April 1

I scored a great deal on chicken breasts today.  My local grocery store had boneless, skinless breasts on sale for $1.59/lb!  I think that is the cheapest I have ever seen chicken breasts before.  I stocked up and am planning on going back for some more.  I am planning to freeze some in marinades, divide some up in 1 1/2 lb. packages and make some freezer meals this week with some of it.  I am on spring break this week so it's perfect timing for some freezer cooking!

Sunday--hamburgers, tator tots, fruit salad

Monday--cheesy chicken breasts (triple batch for freezer)

Tuesday--ranch house pork chops with parmesan mashed potatoes (I will be trying this in the oven rather than the crockpot)

I was home with a sick little one last week.  I finally was able to go back to work on Thursday, only to be called by the daycare center halfway through the day because my baby was running a fever again.  Needless to say, I did not get any work done so I spent Thursday evening working on report cards and lesson plans.  That didn't leave much time for making dinner so we picked up pizza and had the leftovers the following night.  Everything else went according to plan!

Sunday--cube steak, mashed potatoes, butterhorns
Monday--sausage, corn, mashed potato cakes

Menu Plan Monday--week of January 22

Last week's menu plan did not go as planned (hence the reason why it's called a plan), as we had a house full of sick people who did not want what was on the menu.  So, tacos were traded for chicken noodle soup and lunchables and sausage went by the wayside in favor of a lighter teriyaki chicken.  This week's menu will incorporate some of the meals from last week that we didn't get to.

Sunday--leftover baked spaghetti

Monday--baked potato bar:  crockpot baked potatoes, cheese, bacon, ham, sour cream, butter, chili; salad (need potatoes, cheese, ham, salad, cucumber)

Tuesday--hot dogs, homemade french fries (need buns, potatoes)

Wednesday--roast chicken, rice, homemade butterscotch pudding

Thursday--tacos (need cheese)

Friday--sausage, corn, mac and cheese

Saturday--cube steak, mashed potatoes
