I miss doing Menu Plan Monday! I used to participate every week at Screaming Pennies, but when I stopped writing there, I stopped linking up. I never stopped menu planning, though…that’s a big part in keeping me sane! I’m not a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of person, so I love knowing what I need to make all week and that all the ingredients are already in the house!

This week will be an Eat From Your Pantry kind of week here. We’re still sharing my car after our van accident last week, which makes it really hard to get out and do the grocery shopping. I made it to Dillons (half a block away) today to stock up on their loss leaders, but that will probably be the extent of my shopping this week. I might need to make a quick trip to buy milk in a few days, though.

But lucky for me, I always have a stockpile of groceries that I got free or very cheap by shopping the loss leaders with coupons! I bet I even have some of the herbs for colon cleansing somewhere around here…not that I know which ones those would be, but whatever.

Here’s what I plan to make this week:

Monday: Baked Ranch Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Corn
Tuesday: Beef Roast with Potatoes and Carrots, Biscuits, Peaches
Wednesday: Cheddar Chicken Spaghetti, Glazed Carrots
Thursday: Turkey Cheese Melts, Canned Soup
Friday: Beef with Broccoli, Mandarin Pineapple Salad
Saturday: Growing Kids God’s Way Potluck (still not sure what I’m bringing…the theme is “American Food” and I’m drawing a blank! LOL)
Sunday: Chad cooks!

A lot of my recipes this week came from Menus 4 Moms. I didn’t take them from a specific week because I was choosing recipes based on ingredients I already have. But you can type the recipe name in their search bar if you want the recipe!
