Menu Plan Monday 4/5-4/11

Last week's menu plan went pretty smoothly despite the busyness of the week!Now that spring soccer and church drama practice is in full swing for three out of five kids, I think I have a pretty good handle on getting meals ready before that 4pm hour hits each day.

This week’s shopping trip was purchasing items that I need for meals as I am working at doing a pantry & freezer spring cleaning event for the month of April. I have been in need of using different items that I have stockpiled before they expire so April is going to be my month to get rid of those items. Anyone else looking to do spring cleaning in their pantry & freezer, I would love for you to leave me a comment!

This week’s menus is the first full week of my spring cleaning event. I chose seven dinner meals out of the eleven meals that I have listed from the items that I have on hand to use. I have everything on hand that I need for this week, the only items from the store I will need is milk. I am also keeping things relatively simple this week as it is another busy week of practices.

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.
