This week I just have a menu (no shopping list) and it is late. I found out late Thursday that I am traveling to adopt my son this Friday. It has been a little crazy here trying to get everything ready. I should have been more prepared. I have many excuses but none of that matters now as I get ready. Here is what we are having this week Monday through Thursday. I have included items for Friday and Saturday for your week.
Menu
Monday
Green Beans
Corn Bread
Tuesday
Green Salad
Wednesday
Garlic Bread
Green Salad
Thursday
Mexican Rice
Friday
Chicken Fingers (Freezer Friendly)
Fries
Corn
Saturday
Baked Potato
Broccoli
First, I want to explain what I have called the 'free day'. I have used other meal planning services and found that there was always one day that my family would eat out. The free day is the opportunity for you to either eat out, catch up to my meals, if you are behind, or make something that you or your family loves.
Second, a great suggestion was made to have one meal a week that is freezer friendly. (Thanks Andrea, from MommySnacks
) You can either make the meal and eat it, make it and freeze it, or double the recipe and do both. If you have the space, it is great having a few premade meals in the freezer. Just put the meal together, don't cook it, and freeze it. Then when it is time to eat it, defrost and follow the cooking instructions.
