I am really trying to get better about meal planning. I love the peacefulmom.com/menuplanning where she has a free book in how to save money and how to menu plan. Menu planning is the secret to success. Let me give you an example....think easy girls!
Sun...make chicken in crockpot with potatoes and carrots
Mon...use leftover chicken in chicken quesadillas
Tues...make breakfast for dinner....hashbrown potatoes and sausage biscuits
wed....use leftover sausage and make some bacon and eggs for some breakfast burritos with leftover hasbrowns
thurs...tacos
fri....tacos soup
sat...grilled cheese/taco or tomato soup
think easy....think leftovers....
Some more easy....
Eckridge sausage and baked beans
bean burritos
cheese quesadillas
see my potatoe and beef casserole recipe above
sandwich night
nachos
mac and cheese with ham/ salad
enchiladas (beef, bean, cheese, chicken)
taco salad (on top of dorritos)
spaghetti/garlic bread
My advice....write on the fridge either what you have in the pantry to make that week (see examples) or write down the week (see awesome website above) that gives you the print out that you can write down your weekly menu from breakfast to dinnner. Honestly I do that really good sometimes and then sometimes (especially since baseball started) where I am lucky to write down my 5meals i have ingredients for the week for. But just putting that on your fridge makes life easier because when yoiu need dinner, look on your fridge to see (and remind yourself) what you have to cook for dinner. Also .....let the crockpot be your friend!
