Menu Plan Monday 6/7 - 6/13

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend :)

We had 1 nice day of sunshine on Saturday and then back to getting rained out on Sunday but that was OK because my husband scored on 20 lbs. of 81% lean ground Beef for .99/lb on Friday. So we did a Meatloaf/Meatball freezer cooking day!

Meatloaf is one of our favorites around here and it is nice to have 4 of them ready to go in the freezer :)

Here's what we will be eating this week:

Monday:
Meatloaf
Mac-n-cheese
Steamed Broccoli or Broccoli Salad

Tuesday:
Tacos (last bag from my previous Freezer Cooking Day)
w/ all the fixings

Wednesday:
Taco Pie
Taquitos
Salad

Thursday:
French Dips
Oven Fries
Orange slices

Friday: Breakfast for dinner! This is becoming 1 of Colby's favorite dinners so we have decided to have breakfast for dinner at least 1 night a week.

Sourdough Pancakes
Fried eggs and Potatoes
Sausage Patties

Saturday:
Dinner with the in laws

Sunday:
Spaghetti and meatballs
French Bread
Salad and or fresh Veg - depends whats on sale this week. I'm hoping for fresh green beans. I am very excited about the fact that they are coming up in the garden and it has made me start craving them.

Menu Plan Wednesday!

I know, normally I do this on Sunday evening but we were still out in the woods with no wifi and on top of that, I didn't know what was going to be left over to eat when we got back.

As it turns out, quite a bit. Instead of camping in tents and cooking over the fire as we had planned, we ended up in a cabin (thankfully, since it rained like crazy). But I wasn't able to prepare some of the things we had planned because of no fire and now we need to eat them up or toss them out, and I don't care to waste that much food!

Tonight:
Oven Roasted Game Hens
Pasta (Knorr's Spinach Alfredo - one of Colby's favs)
Broccoli

Thursday:
Breakfast for Dinner! I promised Colby I would make Sourdough pancakes since we didn't get to have them for breakfast this weekend.
Fried Ham - left over from camping
Cheesy Scrambled Eggs

Friday:
Grill Hot Dogs (if the weather permits, otherwise I might do pigs-in-a-blanket)
Laura's Mac Salad - left over from camping
Maryann's Baked Beans - also left over
Watermelon -yes, left over

Saturday:
Finish off what ever left overs are around! Grilled cheese sandwiches and chips.

Sunday:
Hopefully the left overs will be gone! And, Hopefully the weather will be nice enough to grill something, like some Chicken!
Baked Sweet Potatoes
Steamed Broccoli and Carrots

5 things for this week

Finally back in civilization after 4 days in the woods. We had meant to camp in our tents at Beaver Lodge but got lucky when a cabin became available because it was pouring buckets! Many thanks to Rick and Kim for thinking of us!

I was pretty please with myself since I got everything done I had planned on last week.

1. Replant the lettuce - for some reason I simply cannot determine, it isn't coming up. And the seeds were new! Plant the Spinach.

2. Get all the laundry done before leaving town.

3. Go through the camping boxes and make sure we have everything we need plus take out stuff that we won't need this trip. Pack clothes for trip. It's going to be on the cool side so we will need coats.

4. Grocery shopping for camping trip.

5. Clean the house before leaving, I hate coming home to a messy house after being gone.

It was so nice coming home to a clean house and clean sheets! 

Here is my list for this week:

1.  Re-organize the camping gear.  It was just tossed into the boxes when we packed up to come home.  I did get a better idea of what is really needed when we're camping so the gear is going to get slimmed down quite a bit.

2.  Clean the office again.  It was the one room I ignored before leaving town.

3.  Go through my coupon binder and file, get rid of expired ones, clip new ones.

4.  See if I can get the zipper on my favorite jeans fixed.  Darn thing broke while we were camping!

5.  Inventory the freezer.  My weekly meal plans have been altered at the last moment a few times because I didn't have what I thought I did.  I didn't make a meal plan for this week but we have alot of stuff left over from camping anyway so we will finish it off.
