Menu Plan for Week of September 19, 2010

Another week under our belt, and some more growing pains along the way. Suppertime is definitely difficult, however, we are still managing to stick to our menu plan. I don't really know how we would cope otherwise. I had requests for shrimp from everyone in my house this week, so I've put it on our agenda for Monday. I'm also throwing in a couple slow cooker recipes, as fall weather has hit Ottawa and most nights there is a definite chill in the air.

Sunday
: Crockpot Taco Soup
Monday: Spicy Garlic Shrimp with Coconut Rice
Tuesday: Irish Beef Stew (from freezer)
Wednesday: Pasta with Spaghetti Sauce
Thursday: Pizza & Salad (Mommy at meeting at school)
Friday: Hurried Goulash with Egg Noodles and Peas
Saturday: Slow Cooked Pot Roast with Mini Potatoes

Menu Plan for Week of September 12, 2010

The first week of school for everyone was hectic and insane, but for the most part we managed to stick to our menu plan and eat healthily. It is A LOT of work. It is exhausting cooking a meal after working a long day and picking up my children at daycare. Evenings are spent preparing and chopping food for lunches the next day. But, so far so good. Maybe the reason I didn't die from exhaustion is because I was eating healthy :)

This week's meals are foods I can prepare quickly and easily, or else make the night before.

Sunday
: Barbecue Hamburgers and Hotdogs, fresh tomato salad
Monday: Layered Mexican Bake
Tuesday: Fish (haddock) and Chips
Wednesday: Bacon and Cheese Omelet
Thursday: Pizza & Salad (mommy works late at staff meeting)
Friday: Crockpot Taco Soup
Saturday: Grilled Steak, Potatoes and Veggies

Menu Plan for Week of September 5, 2010

Trying for a fairly simple menu this week for the first week back at school. We did quite well last week, aside from one rough day where we threw in the towel and went out for dinner at our neighbourhood pub.

This week I am aiming for meals that are fast to prepare, and that are tried and true favourites. No surprises - we won't have time!

Sunday
: BBQ Ribs
Monday: Pasta with Shrimp and Broccoli
Tuesday: Tacos
Wednesday: Grilled Salmon with Potatoes
Thursday: Spicy, Sauteed Chickpeas, Beef and Cilantro
Friday: Pizza and Salad
Saturday: Neighbourhood Corn Roast
