Menu Plan 9/6/2010


Not only is it Meat Free Monday, it is also Menu Plan Monday. :)  Normally I plan my menus on Sunday, but I was a bit lazy this week. And we had so many leftovers that we just had leftovers Saturday night, and I made the fish tacos last night...

It's been a good week menu-wise. Dinner has been done in a timely manner, and there hasn't been any scrambling. And since we are homeschooling again this year, that has been a huge help. Hopefully this week will go as well. And since we are talking about homeschooling...we are still using the Virtual Academy through k-12.  Last year was crazy because we started in the middle of the year, and then discovered that we were expected to complete a year's worth of studies in a semester. Well, we were up for the challenge. And the new challenge this year is that school started last week, and there have been some last minute schedule changes, i.e. they've placed my son in some high school classes (he's in 8th grade), which aren't completely loaded yet. So I expect we will be playing some more catch-up this week. So MENU PLANNING IS CRUCIAL!    :)

So, without further ado, here is this week's menu:

Sunday
Corn Salad

Monday
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Salad
(I know this is a repeat, but this soup is so good, 
and I got yet another bunch of celery in my Bountiful Basket...)

Tuesday
Salad

Wednesday
Salad
(this one sounds weird, but the reviews are all good)

Thursday
Roast Beast
Carrots
Potatoes
Salad

Friday
Swiss Chard Manicotti
Salad

Saturday
Spaghetti Supper with Friends
(Potluck)

Hopefully this will be an awesome week. It's a busy one, that's for sure. And just while I'm mentioning stuff...my daughter turns 21 today. Of course, she lives 2 hours away from me, so no cake and ice cream, but I wanted to mention that I'm thinking of her, and of course I've called. her. :)
