Weekly Meal Plan

That’s right…it’s back!!!! And a little early this week because we just moved into our new place and things have been so ABSOLUTELY crazy for the past week that I needed some order and normalcy back in my life before I completely LOST it. I am also sick and tired of pizza and cereal which is basically what we have been living off of this past week. I decided to sit down and make a grocery list and of course a MEAL PLAN so here we go!

ps. I plan on posting pics of the new place soon I just want it to look all nice and put together first!

Menu Revision

I have just been informed that I am breaking a sacred family tradition by making corned beef and cabbage the way I was planning on making it. Therefore I will be making it the “Piscopink way” :

Put corn beef, potatoes & cabbage in the crock pot cover with V8 juice and cook all day. I apologize to any family members I may have upset by suggesting that I would be making it any other way

Menu Planning

I found this blog last night and noticed that she does a weekly meal plan before going to the grocery store and it inspired me to try it! I really like the idea of having a game plan before going because I think it will save me money. I have a tendency to just “shop” around at Publix and end up with stuff we don’t eat! The other big reason is because I have been know to go to Publix 4 times in one week and that’s just crazy! Especially since I never seem to get out of there without spending at least 50 bucks and frankly I just can’t afford to be doing that. This week I tried to find recipes to use up alot of the stuff I already have in my pantry and also to select food based on the weekly ad so here goes:

Monday: Crockpot Brown Sugar Chicken  (chicken breasts are on sale) with some Brown Rice.

Tuesday: Tuna Casserole

• 1 pkg. egg noodles (I’m going to use fussuli noodles because I already have them)
• 1 tsp celery salt
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 2-6 oz cans tuna (drained)
• 2-10.5 oz cans Cream of Mushroom Soup
• 1 bag shredded cheddar cheese
• 10-12 ritz crackers
• Boil noodles as directed on package. Drain noodles and add rest of ingredients except 1/2 bag of the cheese
• Spread into a 13×9 baking pan, spreading cheese and crumbled crackers on top.
• Bake in oven at 350 degrees until melted.

Wednesday: Leftovers

Thursday: Honey Glazed Chicken Stir Fry with Jasmine Rice

Friday: Order out!

Saturday: Steamed Shrimp and Orzo Pasta with a Salad (No recipe, I will probably just throw some lemon juice and olive oil in the orzo with the shrimp.

Sunday: Leftovers again!

I went to the grocery store yesterday and got everything I need so I am going to try REALLY hard not to return to Publix until next week! I will let you know how I do.
