Sometimes I struggle with deciding what to make for dinners. About 8 months ago, we decided it was time to tackle our spending and so we started using cash to pay for all our expenses. Little did I know that by doing this, it would help me be able to lift the dread deciding what to make for dinner. Every week before I go grocery shopping I put together a menu and shopping list. I post it on my fridge and POOF! every night I know what to make. I decided to share my menu for the week in case ideas are lacking...
Since we get paid on Friday, that is usually the day I go grocery shopping.
Friday
Fish Tacos, broccoli, canned peaches
(My kids usually will just eat the fish... no shell) OR I just grill a piece of chicken in place.
Saturday (always homemade pizza for lunch)
Grilled Chicken & Rice, carrots, watermelon
Sunday we usually eat with our extended family so I don't plan much other than PB&J
Monday
Regular Tacos, Peas, Watermelon
(My daughter doesn't like ground beef, so she has a quesadilla, My son just has the taco meat... with homemade taco seasoning, no shells)
Tuesday
Curry Chicken & Rice, Broccoli
(Recipe to follow... my son LOVES it!)
Wednesday
Spaghetti, Green beans, Parmesan bread
(Of course, my son's bread and noodles are gluten free)
Thursday
Breakfast for dinner (usually pancakes, eggs, sausage)
There have been a couple of weeks here and there that I lose my list and I am frantically looking at 5:00 to see what to make for dinner. I always vow I will never lose my list again. But for those who know me... it usually happens again.
