It’s almost my favorite time of year.

Rodeo!

It’s also the busiest time for me. Expect to see more posts from me on Facebook and Instagram and less on the blog as I work through my committee commitments at the Rodeo, as well as begin a new job! I do have some things lined up and scheduled, plus I’ll have a fun giveaway in a couple of weeks as a reward for y’all putting up with my absence. But now, on to the good stuff.

Dinner plans!

My husband observes Lent, so no meat on Fridays.  I’m also going back to work (I’ll be at my new job when you read this), so we need quick meals that I can put together after getting home. Things that carry over are also going to come in handy.

Monday: Chicken soup and sandwiches.

Tuesday: Chili, so we can have leftovers.

Wednesday: Chili mac or Frito pie.

Thursday: Chicken, mashed potatoes, and mixed veggies.

Friday: Tilapia baked with citrus, rice, steamed broccoli.

Saturday: Freezer meal or fend for yourself.

Sunday: Rodeo walkthrough for me, so it’s dinner out.

I have a confession to make…

My shelves are full.

There is no more room.

And Kroger is having another Mega Event, starting Wednesday.  Which means I need places to put new stuff.

I’m doing a lot of pantry organizing and inventorying this week. My challenge this week is to spend less than $10 out of pocket for 7 dinners to feed 4 people.

Monday: Chicken Enchilada Casserole. We had fajitas last night, and I need to do something with the leftover chicken. I have enchilada sauce in the pantry, and corn tortillas are under a dollar. Easy peasy.

Tuesday: Leftover beef fajitas turned into steak quesadillas or nachos.  I don’t remember having so many leftovers when my oldest was still at home.  😉 Zero out of pocket.

Wednesday: It’s the start of a new mega event at Kroger! I know I want to make several trips, or one big one, so dinner will be something easy. It’ll depend on what I find at the store. If all else fails, it is breakfast for dinner. We have eggs, bacon, potatoes, and biscuit mix.

Thursday: I’m making a big pot of red beans and rice. We’ve got the red beans and rice in the pantry, as well as some cornbread mix. All I need to add is some sausage, so $3.

Friday: Lasagna roll-ups. I have everything except ricotta for this, and that’s about $3.50. Hoping I find some on markdown.

Saturday: Leftovers.

Sunday: Fend for yourself. We have all kinds of freezer junk food.

Monday: It’s a busy day, with an ARD meeting and a doctor’s appointment, so we’re going to keep it simple with hot sandwiches and soup.

Tuesday: Chili! It’s freezing outside, so we’re going to warm up.

Wednesday: Frito Pie with leftover chili.

Thursday: Crockpot chicken and wild rice. I don’t have a recipe for this, but we’ll figure something out.

Friday: Fend for yourself night.

Saturday: Dinner out – it’s time for my rodeo kick off party! 😉

Sunday: Possibly chicken soup, or maybe chicken enchiladas.

Monday: Pork chops or pulled pork. Something easy, for sure.

Tuesday: Green chile chicken spaghetti. I tasted this at HEB and want to make it at home.

Wednesday: Snack buffet! I’m going to make cheese dip, buffalo dip, maybe some spinach dip, and assorted tasty things.

Thursday: Christmas dinner! Ham, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc.

Friday: Leftovers!

Saturday: Dinner out with the whole family.

Sunday: Lasagna night! 🙂

Hello, everyone! Welcome to this week’s Menu Plan Monday! We are starting to move into cooler weather, which means my crockpot will be getting a workout. You gotta love that bipolar Texas weather!

Monday: I have a busy day planned. There are bills to be paid, floors to be mopped, and posts to write. Dinner has to be quick tonight. Tilapia, rice, and broccoli takes no time to get ready, and is family approved. Plus, I’ve got everything already.

Tuesday: Tuesday is my favorite day to buy ground beef. The Fresh Market has it for $2.99/lb for freshly ground chuck. So, we’re going to have meatloaf muffins, scalloped potatoes and mixed veggies.

Wednesday: The weather is supposed to turn quite chilly here in Texas, so I’m thinking soup. Either potato soup or a copycat of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana. I bought a 10 lb bag of potatoes for $1.99 from Sellers Bros and I need to use them up.

Thursday: More soup or maybe a green chile stew. I haven’t decided yet, and it may depend on what looks good when I go to the store.

Friday: Fend for yourself day or Eat All the Leftovers day. I’m gearing up for tomorrow…

Saturday: FINALLY it’s lasagna day! This is an all day process for me, because I make a TON of it. I use all the spaghetti sauce I’ve stocked up on, canned tomatoes from the sale at Kroger, and hopefully I’ll find some cheese on sale this week. Just call me Garfield because I LOVE lasagna.

Sunday: Leftover lasagna.
