Menu Plan for the Week of February 20th

Pin It
Happy Monday! Sometimes the weekend can get so hectic, I'm actually glad when Monday does come, and we can settle back into more of a routine.
 Craving greenery around here, so here is a picture from July in West Virginia.


Ok, on to the menu plan... It's a pretty simple menu this week as I'd like to use up some of the items I have on hand.

Breakfast Options:
(Any combination of the following)
French toast
Cereal
Fruit
Waffles
Toast
Eggs
Oatmeal
Poptarts
Egg whites and spinach (hubby's choice)

Vegetarian corn dogs
Vegetarian hamburgers
Hot dogs

Leftovers from dinner

Dinners:

Pizza Bread Salad
Grocery list: lettuce, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, breadsticks, tomatoes, Italian dressing, basil


Tex-Mex Bake and Cornbread
This is so good! I made it when we had my parents over for dinner, and they liked it so much, they served it when they had company. Fresh tomatoes on top and taco sauce was a nice addition.
Grocery list: rigatoni pasta, ground turkey or beef, onion, corn, black beans, salsa, cottage cheese, egg, taco seasoning, cilantro, cumin, Monterrey Jack cheese and cornbread fixings

Chicken noodle soup and the best  Light rolls
Grocery list: I start with canned soup, and then doctor it up with extra chicken, broth and vegetables; light roll ingredients-flour, yeast, eggs.... 

 Hebrew National hot dogs, fruit and carrot sticks

Turkey burgers, baked beans, carrots and spinach salad
Grocery list:  Turkey burgers, buns, carrots, spinach and baked beans

  1. The pizza bread salad is such an interesting dish and sounds yummy! I found you through Organizing Junkie and I totally agree with your grocery shopping method. I like to plan my meals with fresh produce and lean meats to get the most nutrition. I have a site, www.coupon-kitchen.com where I base my meals plans around the produce and meat on sale. I may spend more than your average couponer but I feel like I'm getting the most out of my money!
