Menu Monday Week of 2.3 - With How I Menu Plan

Monday, February 3, 2014

MPM-Winter
Oh my I had to meal plan this week and send my husband to the store! YIKES! 
I don't like getting out in the snow. 
I think I will run by the store again today to stock up for the big storm headed our way!

I tend to Menu Plan one or two weeks at a time. I have used a variety of different "menu plans" including
a notepad from Target Dollar Spot
Pages in my Planner
On my phone
A Frame similar to THIS
but my favorite and current for the last several years has been
A vinyl grid on the side of my refrigerator which I first introduced in THIS post,
Menu Calendar
I need to redo the magnets but for the most part this has worked really well for me!
These are still available from Thoughts in Vinyl starting at $9.50 which in my opinion is totally worth it!
They have several options. I have the three week option.
I menu plan by seeing what we have in the cabinets and freezers and then going from there.
I then try to match up meals with what we have on hand or if we have a great deal of something we will have it more often.
I do try to vary our menu so that we don't eat beef 4 nights in a row or Mexican back to back.
For me menu planning is so great because it saves us from eating out too often which saves us money.
My husband will also occasionally look at the plan and go ahead and brown the meat for me which is a HUGE help!
Well with that let's see what's on the menu this week!

Monday - Pizza Hut Sandwiches - we have called Baked Ham and Cheese Sandwiches with tomatoes and ranch that since I was a kid - super fast and easy meal!

Tuesday - Skillet Sausage and Potatoes - old German comfort food - will post this recipe Wednesday

Wednesday - Ranch House Chops and Garlic Mashed Potatoes - our favorite crock pot meal
Forever and a Recipe: Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops
Throw the above in a crock pot on low and come home to deliciousness!

Thursday - Parmesean Crusted Tilapia and steamed Veggies

Friday - Pizza Night - I want to do a Pizza and Movie night with themed food to go with Movie

Saturday - Roast with Potatoes and Carrots

Sunday - Week Night Lasagna

I can't believe it's Monday! I need another day this weekend! We went to my mom's this weekend to see her and my cousins who were visiting and helping cut down a bunch of her old trees! Then Blake ended up sick yesterday so he is home from school today with Andrew! I am starting to look at Valentine's day crafts and recipes! Fun!
So here's what's on the menu for this week!

Monday - Leftovers - My mom sent me home with tons of leftovers, plus the leftovers of what I took so we need to eat them to make some space in the Fridge!

Tuesday - Baked Potato Soup - my mom sent me home with a bunch of leftover baked potatoes so what better?

 Wednesday - Kraft Fresh Takes Southwest Three Cheese Chicken, Macaroni and Cheese, and Corn

Thursday - Chicken and Gnocchi Soup - like Olive Garden's going to post recipe!

Friday - Pizza Night - I think we might try new Pizza Place in town B'Dough - anyone ever heard of it? wondering if it is a chain or local.

Saturday - Fiesta Ranch Tacos - super easy crock pot meal

Sunday - Superbowl Feast! Featuring Dips in this week's Four for Friday and other appetizers and snack food!

Menu Monday Link up http://orgjunkie.com/

I am linking up with Menu Plan Monday today!

 Monday - Ranch House Chops - Fave crock pot meal! It is not a complete crock pot meal - you have to make mashed potatoes (and in my house that means REAL) to go with but it's so good it's worth it!

Tuesday - Pizza Casserole - one of my go-to's Kids love this so I know they will eat!

Wednesday -Parmesean Crusted Tilapia and Steam Pack Veggies with Noodles and Sauce

Thursday - Chicken Enchiladas and Taco Rice

Friday - Frozen Pizza - Pizza is our Friday standard if I don't have a Party then it's family night and pizza is easy so we can spend time together! Sometimes we go out to eat.
Saturday - Deep Dish Ravioli and the BEST Spinach and Artichoke Dip ever! - will be posting recipe and pics of this one!
Sunday - Breaded Pork Steaks, Mashed Potatoes and Corn

 Awhile back I purchased THIS menu planner vinyl.
 here is mine in use (excuse the crappy phone pic)
 I finally got it put up this week and have made my meals but don't have them laminated yet. I have also started a binder like Jill's HERE for the spare magnets and take out menus, and the recipes so that Andrew (HandyMan) could attempt to make them! Ha we will see I will be happy if he just looks at it and sets out the correct meat!  So in effort to keep up with that I am going to start posting our weekly menus on Mondays. I will link to pinterest or wherever if it is a recipe online. I might even share some recipes and reviews!

Monday - Sausage and Potatoes - old recipe of mine

Tuesday - Stromboli and Salad

Wednesday - Twister Soup this is a mix that I got at a scrapbook event it is so good and she ships!

Thursday - Quick Chicken Piccata - new recipe off Pinterest

Friday - Frozen Pizza (this is a common Friday night dinner for us by Friday I am just exhausted) I might even heat it up ;)!

Saturday - Chicken/Beef Enchiladas and Taco Rice (sans cheese for me) - plain red sauce quick and easy

Sunday -  Chilli and Cornbread

I find it hard to find meals that don't have much cheese or that I can make part without cheese. I might try some lactose free cheese - do they make that? Oh well it's worth it for my sweet baby girl!

Who is the Krafty Mama?


Hi I'm the Krafty one! :) I'm the Queen to 2 little knights and a sweet princess. I married my knight in shining armor (kevlar) over 8 years ago and I am a REAL mom, wife and substitute teacher trying to be the best I can be! I love "krafting" but tend to buy more supplies than I actually use. I love make up, nail polish, hair products and fashion but have been known to leave the house in sweats a messy bun and no make up! I love to cook and bake but am guilty of feeding my kids McDonalds in a pinch. I love direct sales and have joined too many to mention! I would love to get to know you!
