Menu Plan Monday

I survived shopping for two weeks at a time!  It took a lot of planning and going slower than usual but I did it!  I did the majority of my shopping at ALDI followed up by a stop at a local grocery store and a visit to a dollar store for a few items for our new kitten.  Here is our plan for this week. 

Saturday - Chicken Fingers and French Fries

Sunday - Pork Chops, Mashed Potatoes, Mac n Cheese, and Green Beans

Monday - Spaghetti and French Bread

Tuesday - Cajun Chicken Pasta

Wednesday - Hot Dogs and French Fries

Thursday - Parmesan Chicken Pizza and Salad

Friday - Sausage and Potato Skillet, Blackeyed Peas, and Cornbread

Menu Plan Monday

We are fresh off a beach vacation and I'm acting like a 3 year old!  Whiney!  But, it is a new week and new dinners!  I'm also working on a two-week grocery trip this coming week.  Going to give that a try and see how it goes!  As I'm currently boycotting Walmart becuase of a pretty horrible experience with their completely riduclous customer service, I'm finding new stores and new options to get what we need.  That shall be an adventure too!

Here is our week!

Saturday - Buffalo Chicken Strip Salad

Sunday - Vegetable Soup and Grilled Cheese (I know..it's July but it was like 75 yesterday!)

Monday - Cheeseburger Casserole and Baked Potatoes

Tuesday - Chicken and Dumplins and Green Beans

Wednesday - Onion Baked Chicken, Mac n Cheese, and "Brown" Rice (rice baked with beef broth)

Thursday - Pancakes

Friday - Grocery night!  Making something easy!

Menu Plan Monday

We started week 3 of our Couch to 5K.  It was a tough Sunday run but I made it.  It is tough during the middle of some of the runs but it is so worth it when its over.  I feel so good and energzied.  It also helps having a running partner for both Hubs and I.  We are on schedule for our first 5K run in May.  I'm very excited.  And I lost 3lbs this past week so I'm definitely feeling good about our eating as well.

Here's our plan for this week...

Saturday - Dinner at K's house.  We had roast, potatoes, carrots, and mac n cheese

Sunday - Crock Pot Pulled Pork with home fries

Monday - Chicken Sauteed with squash and zuchini served over rice

Tuesday - Turkey Bacon BLTs

Wednesday - Taco Salads

Thursday - Homemade Pizza and Salads

Friday - Turkey Sloppy Joes

Week 2 of Couch to 5k started yesterday.  It was rough but so worth it in the end.  I am so glad Hubs and I are doing this and that we have friends to run with.  Even the dog is getting exercise!  This week, I tried for easy-to-prepare meals for run nights and some healthy, yet comfort foods for the other nights. 


Saturday - Out with Friends (this was not on our diet and was our "freebie" night)

Sunday - Hamburgers with grilled onions on whole wheat buns

Monday - Skinny Chicken Parmesan

Tuesday - Tacos or Taco Salads

Wednesday - Onion Chicken, roasted potatoes, green beans

Thursday - Grilled (or maybe buffalo-style) chicken salads

Friday - Grocery shopping night!
