Menu for Jan9 2012

One year ago I started planning meals one week at a time. I usually go by what I have on hand and then I ask the hubs if he is in the mood for any particular meal and go from there. Many times as long as we plan the "protein" I am pretty good and "throwing" the rest together.

Items I usually always have on hand are: chicken breasts, chicken broth (in the quart box) spaghetti fixings, chili fixings, salad fixings and Coles brand garlic toast or ready to warm in the oven bisquits

I carpool with a friend whose dad is a farmer and every spring we order a quarter cow and so for part of the year we have beef in the menus quite often.

Also--since we have two little boys (5 and 2) we have a lot of mac and cheese as well as fish sticks and chicken nuggets on hand.

So for this week we are going to have the following meals:

Monday-po' boy tacos

Tuesday-spaghetti

Wednesday-Chicken breast on a salad

Thursday-pesto pasta

Friday--we have a movie night at church and will eat there but that evening for you could also be an evening you order out, or do breakfast for supper
