Back to school, back to school! YAY! My kids start back on Tuesday, so this week is going to be easy on everyone while we’re getting back into the groove.

Monday: Homemade sloppy joes and french fries. 🙂

Tuesday: Something with chicken and orzo. As my daughter lovingly reminded me, we have 6 boxes and they take up a lot of space. 😉 Chicken was still $1.88/lb at Sprouts when I went on Sunday, and the orzo was bought on sale at Amazon, so cost for this meal is about $8 when you add in a few veggies.

Wednesday: Baked pork chops and roasted red potatoes, plus corn. These chops were $1.67/lb at HEB. Red potatoes were $.50/lb. This meal will be about $7.

Thursday: Leftover Buffet.

Friday: Breakfast for dinner. We had biscuits and gravy last week, so this week, I’m thinking breakfast tacos.

Saturday: Sandwiches/fend for yourself.

Sunday: Dinner out with family.

It’s the last week of summer. School starts next week. Our grocery consumption will go back to normal.

Ahhhhhh.

Yesterday, my husband grilled chicken, pork chops, and steak.  We’ll use the chicken for lunches, and maybe the steak, too.  Depends on what he took for lunch today.  😉  I also prepped the meatballs for Tuesday.  If I do all of the prep on Sunday, it just seems to make the week go easier.

Monday: Pork chops, grilled yesterday, au gratin potatoes, and veggies.

Tuesday: Spaghetti with meatballs, garlic bread, and salad.

Wednesday: Crockpot chicken, rice, or something found on Pinterest.

Thursday: Leftover night.

Friday: Pizza night!

Saturday: Breakfast for dinner.

Sunday: We’re FINALLY going to Schlitterbahn! 🙂

I’m totally in a rut for dinner. It’s hot and I don’t want to cook and everyone is going in different directions. Blah, I say. Blah.

Monday: Jambalaya! Sausage and a Zatarain’s mix = dinner.

Tuesday: We’re having Tostada Tuesday! 😉 I have some leftover shredded chicken mixed with green chilies. I’ll probably brown some hamburger meat too, for some options. Also, we’ll have rice and beans to fill out the meal. Tuesday is match up day, so dinner has to be quick.

Wednesday: Pinterest Crockpot Night. I need to hit the grocery store to stock up that new and shiny freezer, so it’ll be easy prep and cooking, again.

Thursday: Clean out the fridge night!

Friday: Pizza night!

Saturday: Fend for yourself.

Sunday:

Monday: Leftovers! I cooked a pot roast in the crockpot AND a big batch of my beef and broccoli on Sunday. Mondays always seem to be busy with things that didn’t get done during the week. 🙂

Tuesday: We’ve got two things going on, plus it’s my birthday!

Wednesday: Homemade chicken nuggets served with homemade mac and cheese in these cute little cast iron skillets. 😉 Plus a green veggie, but who cares about that when you can have MAC AND CHEEEEESE?

Thursday: Crockpot night. My urge to cook dinner starts winding down right.about.then.

Friday: Pizza night.

Saturday: Fend for yourself.

Sunday: We’ll see!

This week’s Menu Plan Monday is all about the quick and easy.  It’s hot, I’ve got a lot of stuff to do, and easy is the name of the game.  Cleaning out the fridge and freezer is always a bonus.  😉
Monday: Leftover mac and cheese, grilled chicken breasts, served with a green salad. I made a HUGE batch of homemade mac and cheese on Sunday, so I’m going to put it into these cute little cast iron skillets and put a panko topping to broil on it.

Tuesday: Jambalaya. Tuesday is a super busy night with ad matchups so I don’t have time for a big elaborate dinner. Zatarain’s Low Sodium mix to the rescue. 😉 Jamey won’t eat this so he can have a sandwich.

Wednesday: Crockpot meal. Pinterest to the rescue! I’m going to see what looks tasty.  Unfortunately, I’ll have to set a timer, because I can totally get lost in pin-surfing.

Thursday: Spaghetti and bread and salad.

Friday: Leftover night!

Saturday: Fend for yourself.

Sunday: Grilling night.
