Menu Plan Monday: 10/7 - 10/13

 

So I have to say I've been quite impressed with my husband. Not only has he taken over 100% of the grocery shopping for the house, he has also planned the meals AND cooked them!

 

The downside is he ignored some crazy deals (60 cents/can 28 oz canned tomatoes at Shaws, 2/$1 S&S canned beans, etc.). So I'll be feeling the wrath of Jon in November when my stockpile is completely empty and I have to pay nearly full price for things we need.... I can feel the anxiety setting in already!

 

Last week Jon made the most delicious pizza by using left over seasoned steak and chicken and left over black beans... Imagine that! Black beans on pizza. It was simply delectable!

 

 

Sunday - Family Dinner; we're contributing brownies.

Monday - Spiral ham, potatoes, zucchini

Tuesday - Chili with beer bread

Wednesday - BBQ Pork burgers w/ homemade steak fries

Thursday - Ham tetrazzini (to use up some of the leftover spiral ham from Monday)

Friday - Pork chops with apple sauce and veggies

Saturday - Possibly out to dinner

Menu Plan Monday 9/30 - 10/6

 

My husband, Jon, and I got into an argument a discussion about my alleged hoarding of food. Both of my parents have serious hoarding tendencies and I know I and tend to keep more than I should, but I feel like I simply make sure we have enough food in the house so no one is ever hungry.

 

Regardless, as a result of our discussion, Jon is now responsible for 100% of the grocery shopping and menu planning for the month of October. His goal is to use up everything in our upstairs freezer and start working on the downstairs freezer. So all of the menu items are his doing.... we'll see if he goes beyond the menu planning and actually cooks.

 

Sunday - Family Dinner; we're contributing Mrs. Smith's apple pie.

Monday - Chicken and steak burritors with rice leftover from last week

Tuesday - Pizza with any leftover steak and chicken from Monday

Wednesday - BLTs with loaded potato skins

Thursday - We have a wedding rehearsal and dinner, so they'll be providing food

Friday - Jon's best friend's wedding! Woot woot!

I start my Herbalife diet officially today. I'm hoping I can write about it soon as a Saturday Success, but we'll see!! I also hope this will wean down how many groceries I have to buy.
