Menu Plan Monday 5/10-5/16

Last week's menu plan went pretty smoothly!  I did have to rearrange a few days due to schedules and “stacking” the same meat day after day.  I am not sure what it is about my family but they just do not like having chicken meals three days in a row! LOL!

For this week’s shopping trip, I only had a $100 to work with and I was determined with calculator in hand that I was not going over that amount. I did it and still have some change leftover.   Sara over at Learning the Frugal Life is having an Eat from the Pantry Challenge during May and you can read a glimpse of the positives and negatives of the week here.

The new recipe in last week’s menu did NOT go over well with the family!  I ended up having to throw a majority of it away! So for this week, I am taking a breather from trying new things and sticking with the tried & true meals.

Lunches listed are for the kids & me. Unless we are having leftovers, our lunches are served with apple slices or baby carrots along with fruit juice or water.  Hubby usually takes a dinner leftover along with various snacks for his work lunch.
