We made it through the first week of school and everyone survived. My daughter is showing this new-found confidence and I’m LOVING it. So, so proud of her, but I’m also glad there’s no school Monday so we can spend a little quality time together. I miss her while she’s at school, can you believe it? Anyway, here’s my menu for the week. I’m doing pretty good with my goal of only going to the store once a week and it’s helping my budget tremendously!! I’m hoping I can get all the stuff we need for dinner this week for about $30. We ate out one night last week (I was exhausted), so this week should be pretty simple, with two crockpot recipes and some pre-made turkey burgers.
Monday – Grilling/BBQ
Tuesday – Italian crockpot chicken (There’s many variations but here’s one I plan on using and tweaking)
Wednesday – Turkey burgers and fries
Thursday – Crockpot chicken taco chili (photo above)
Friday – Sticky shrimp and rice (I’m using my sister’s recipe for teriyaki sauce: brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes)
What’s on YOUR menu this week?
Tara, you have inspired me to start meal planning. I am online right now trying to come up with some new ideas. I am also going to make those pumpkin muffins you have been posting about. My family is excited to try them out. I will let you know what we think! Thanks for your inspiration
@Shelly – Make them! Shoot, they are so easy my 4-year-old son makes them. I open the can and the cake mix (I try to get organic cake mix when I can) and he does the rest! LOL
Is that corn bread in the background of the pic? Man, my eyes went straight to that. LMAO.
