Menu Plan Monday....August 9

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!  :)

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

  4. Cooking when it is this hot is rough. Your plan looks like you are ready to beat the heat.
