I did it! Last Sunday, I posted my supper menu for this past week and I actually stuck to it pretty well. I did change Friday night’s dinner because when I make the steak sandwiches, it makes enough for 2 meals. We weren’t home on Saturday night so I didn’t want to waste any of the leftovers, so the steak sandwiches were saved for this week.
Planning meals in advance did help quite a bit with the grocery shopping. I have enough to do almost 2 weeks worth of meals except for the very freshest items like milk, bread, and veggies. I am going to keep doing this and see if it keeps working this well.
Here are the supper plans for this week:
Sunday-supper at Nanny’s-I am contributing chicken fried pork chops. Recipe to be posted later.
Monday-supper at C’s parents-I am taking strawberry cobbler for dessert.
Tuesday-cheesy steak sandwiches with oven baked fries
Wednesday-leftover steak sandwiches
Thursday-tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches
Friday-grilled pork chops, roasted potatoes and salad pizza & salad
Saturday-apple cinnamon pancakes & sausage grilled pork chops, roasted potatoes & salad
I am still interested in your thoughts on menu planning. Let me know!
