Well, my challenge to myself this week is to eat up what we have in the kitchen already. It is a week and a half until payday again, and the money is almost gone! (We haven't been very good about budgeting this summer. Yikes!) And....there is plenty to eat in our house. No worries! I just need to see what I have on hand. The exception will be to buy milk....we always go through a TON of milk!
The other factor for meal planning this week is that it is going to be HOT.....high temperatures with miserable dew points. It looks like a week of salads and sandwiches for our family! :)
MONDAY: Easy Summer Italian Pasta Salad (I have cute little mini-pepperonis that I am excited to use!)
TUESDAY: Tuna Pasta Salad (a favorite of my husband and I....now to convince the boys!)
WEDNESDAY: Grilled BBQ chicken breasts (in freezer from last week) made into Chicken Salad sandwiches
THURSDAY: BBQ Beanwich (a recipe I tried several years ago, when reading the Abs diet)
FRIDAY: On the Go Sloppy Joes (from freezer) .... this one might change, as one of my boys really is not a sloppy joe fan.....but, I have until Friday to think about it! LOL! :) Maybe he will just have PB & J!
Wow, and to think I wasn't going to have good ideas for meals because I wasn't going to do extra shopping! I think this menu looks pretty good! :)

Heat always does suck out the desire to cook, doesn't it?

ReplyDeleteYEA for you! I think it looks great. And everybody will eat. That's the goal, right? :)
ReplyDeleteCooking when it is this hot is rough. Your plan looks like you are ready to beat the heat.
ReplyDeleteit's suddenly become like winter here in the UK; I'm envious of your heat :-)
