Meal Plan Monday 1/3/11

We had that stomach bug going around yesterday so we haven't been eating too much.  Crackers, ginger ale, toast, applesauce, bananas.  So I'm guessing our weekly plan will change a little.  So far this is what's happening.

Breakfasts:  Yogurt, Granola and Banana; Fruit Smoothie with Yogurt and Granola;  Swiss Muesli with Pumpkin Spiced Granola and Cranberries;  Egg White Omelet with Mushrooms, Red Peppers and Arugula
Cereal with Bananas

Snacks:  Apples, Oranges, Tangerines, Peanut Butter Toast, Nutella Graham Crackers

Lunches: Chicken Noodle Soup with Crackers;  Butter Parmesan Noodles with Peas;  Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches with Banana Slices; Applesauce, Peaches

Suppers:

Monday:  Rice in broth (I'm guessing we'll still be recovering)

Tuesday:  Apricot Pork Chops (didn't get around to these last month) - maybe

Wednesday:  Chicken-in-a-Skillet*(new) - I hope

Thursday:  Leftovers

Friday:  "Thin Crust" Pizza* and Salad

Saturday:  Shrimp Alfredo, Salad and Green Beans (Pantry Meal)*


We eat from our pantry every month.  That's why I create a monthly meal.  I plan meals based on what we got on sale the month before.  I'm going to be focusing on our grocery budget of $75 a week.  Staying within the budget is important. 

Random thought - I'll share a little something about the grass-fed beef and free-range chicken tomorrow. 

The "Thin Crust" Pizza is really just a flour tortilla.  But low calorie and super easy. 

Shrimp Alfredo is another Pantry Meal.  I'll share the recipe on Saturday after I get the pictures made.

Hope you have a great and tasty week!

Enjoy!

Hey Candi--

I hope you are all feeling better soon!

Answer to your question--

I have tons of turkey to use up too. The recipe for turkey bundles was going to be based on this TOA recipe with whatever I had one hand--

Those pork chops look yummy, I'll have to give them a try soon. I to will be striving to use a $75.00 a week food budget this year. There are 5 in my family and I think I can do it. I'm going to be concentrating on pantry meals, as well as adding more beans and smaller meat servings.
