Menu Plan Monday

So, every Monday, I'm going to try and post my menu plan for the week. You generally won't see an alternate meal for the kids. They eat what we eat. Except for nights like tonight when Mike gets home late, he's supposed to be bbq'ing (I don't do that very well), and Cole is STARVING. So he had a grilled cheese for dinner, instead of the burgers we're having. Yep. I can't even bbq burgers all that well. I can prep stuff for the grill really well, the actual cooking, and I'm referring to the Weber website. So, here goes. Subject to change. Like my kids were horrendous and refused to nap/screamed all day, so I call mercy and order pizza. The power goes out, and we find the lone McDonald's with power AND a play place (that one really happened back in June). Mike decides to be all picky and doesn't want what I have planned. Stuff like that. And you'll never see a leftover night. Because we don't like them. And there usually aren't any.

Monday - BBQ Burgers and corn on the cob. No fancy recipe there. I buy the Kirkland sirloin burgers at Costco, toss some seasoning salt on, some Kraft slices and done.
Tuesday - Soy Garlic Chicken, rice and a veggie of some sort
Wednesday - Breakfast for dinner (eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, fruit)
Thursday - Pioneer Woman's Chicken Spaghetti. I think this stuff is legend now across the internet. And my family loves it. Do yourself a favour and use the reduced fat soup, and low sodium broth with the smart pasta.
Friday - Baked Ziti and green salad. Nothing fancy there either. Ziti, mozza, parm, and a good jarred tomato sauce.
Saturday - Lori's 40th Birthday Party. Her husband is a chef. Should be tasty.
Sunday - Chili and cheese rolls. This one is iffy. We have a 5th birthday party that afternoon, so we'll see how we're doing, appetite wise. I might just thaw out some soup instead.

So there you have it. This is what's for dinner this week.

  1. Welcome to Menu Plan Monday! I think it's good that you don't generally make alternate meals for your kids. Forces them to be less picky.
