Menu Planning Monday

After purchasing four more bottles of Kraft barbecue sauce this week, I realized that I really need to use up some of my barbecue sauce stockpile (I have 14 bottles of barbecue sauce, not including the opened bottle that is in the refrigerator!). So, this week, I am gearing my menu around using up some of my stockpiled barbecue sauce! However, I don’t have many days to make a dent in my supply, because we are going out of town on Friday, but I will do my best! Here is what we are having:

Monday
Breakfast: Blueberry Streusel Muffins, smoothies
Lunch: Beef hot dogs, chips, yogurt, raspberries
Dinner: Jalepeno Barbecue burgers, mashed potato patties with spinach, canteloupe

Tuesday
Breakfast: Blueberry Streusal Muffins, sausage, smoothies
Lunch: Salad with bacon and boiled egg, peaches, yogurt
Dinner: BBQ Shredded Pork Roast sandwiches, broccoli, green bean casserole

Wednesday
Breakfast: Waffles, sausage, smoothies
Lunch: Leftovers, blueberries
Dinner: Cheddar BBQ Chicken, Spinach Rice casserole, fruit

Thursday
Breakfast: Waffles, smoothies
Lunch: Grilled cheese, tomato soup, fruit
Dinner: Leftovers or out

So, that’s what we are eating this week. Check out what others are eating this week at I’m an Organizing Junkie.

Weekly Menu

Menu Planning Monday
I haven’t made a weekly menu in several weeks, and boy has my eating-out-budget taken a hit! We are so busy that if we do not have a meal plan in place we will eat out way more than we should. It’s ironic that when I am really busy, I don’t make a meal plan…and that’s when I really need it! Hopefully, we will do better this week with a menu in place. Here is what we have planned for this week:

Monday
Breakfast: Muffins, bananas
Lunch: Leftovers, salad
Dinner: Out

Tuesday
Breakfast: Muffins, bananas
Lunch: Turkey sandwiches, chips, yogurt, applesauce
Dinner: Roast beef, potatoes, carrots, Sour Cream Cornbread Muffins

Wednesday
Breakfast: Muffins, bacon, blueberries
Lunch: Leftovers, canteloupe
Dinner: Cheesy Sour Cream Herb Chicken, baked herbed potatoes, green beans

Thursday
Breakfast: Waffles, blueberries
Lunch: Turkey sandwiches, chips, yogurt, applesauce
Dinner: Swedish Meatballs with pasta, vegetable

Friday
Breakfast: Waffles, bacon, canteloupe
Lunch: Leftovers
Dinner: Tuna patties, salad, canteloupe

Saturday
Breakfast: Biscuits, eggs, bacon, canteloupe
Lunch: Beef hot dogs, chips, salad
Dinner: Leftovers

So, that’s what we are eating this week. Check out what others are eating this week at I’m an Organizing Junkie.
