Menu Planning Monday

It's that time again--menu planning!

Last week, I planned for the first time in a while here. Um... how many of those dishes do you think I ended up making?

One.

Yes, you read that right--only one. (Which ROCKED--see the recipe here)

So... I'm going to try it again this week. I'm hoping to break my current record. ;)

{Monday} - Left overs (me); grilled cheese (hubby)

{Tuesday} - Gone to flea markets all day--hubby gets to fend for himself

{Wednesday} - Crock Pot French Onion Soup with homemade french bread

{Thursday} - Chicken Quesadillas

{Friday} - Cooking out (over the fire) with our small group. ;)

{Saturday} - Marinated Steaks (YUM!)

Menu Planning Monday

I tried this... once or twice in the beginning of my blogging experience.

I thought I would try it again. :)

I figure if I have a plan, and know what to shop for--then, it will make my week far more easier!

Breakfasts:
The hubby typically just makes his own before going to work... he's the breakfast king.
I on the other hand, start my mornings with Carnation Instant Breakfast.

Lunches:
The hubby packs his own lunch (way to go sweetie!).
I am trying to eat 5 small meals every few hours... so after breakfast, I plan on having some fruits, veggies, jerky, or yogurt... I have to plan this out a little bit more but you get the gist. ;)

Dinners:
This is what I really, REALLY need to plan for. So here are five dinners I'd like to make this week...
- Fajitas (chicken) with chips/Salsa
- Grilled Flank Steak with Tomatoes, red onion, and Balsamic
-Coconut Chicken Salad with Warm Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
- Grilled Chicken with Spinach and Melted Mozzarella
- One salad from below

Dessert this week:
-Picking one from below....
