This week's meal plan was done on Tuesday and I ended up shopping for everything yesterday. A few things to note: I'm attempting to adjust our food budget. Adam's happy with this because I'm not trying to increase it. :) So, this week was my first attempt at trying to stay under $50 for the week. It worked! I don't count the purchases for yesterday's meal, because my meal plan for this week starts today. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
My meal plans are Thursday - Tuesday because I have time to shop on Wednesdays/Thursdays for the following week. Another thing - Wednesday is not included in our grocery budget yet for a few different reasons... so I'll give a more detailed break-down when we have a chance to work it out... not that everyone really cares about our budget or eating habits. But, you my friends are definitely a great source of accountability. :)
So, the meal plan:
Tonight - leftovers
Friday - BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Saturday Lunch - Chicken Fajitas w/ Guacamole
Saturday Dinner - out! (We have company in town this weekend)
Sunday - Chicken w/ Curry Dill Sauce & Rice (gotta use up all that dill!!!)
Monday - Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza
Tuesday - out!
Wednesday - Lasagna w/ Homemade Vegetable Flatbread
It's going to be a huge challenge for me to attempt to maintain this budget, but I think that lots of prayer (discipline, please!!!) and lots of creative ideas on how to stretch meat or eating one or two meatless meals a week are going to help tremendously.
Again, feel free to post your meal plans or recipes! I could always use the inspiration, and it helps to know that someone's reading. :)
