Meal Plan Monday

 Happy Monday! Another weekend has flown by with it being full to the brim. I'm starting this series on my blog to keep me accountable and to hopefully help budget better when it comes to grocery shopping! I try to make our meals as simple as possible. So you will definitely see us having the same thing from week to week. If I'm going to try a new recipe I will do that on the weekends when I have more time in the kitchen. 

So here is the meal plan for this week: 

Sunday: Pot roast with potatoes and green beans
Monday: Taco night/quesadillas 
Tuesday: Air fry pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and corn
Wednesday: Butter chicken with rice and green beans
Thursday: Pizza and salad night. 
Friday: Leftovers or Breakfast night 
Saturday: Take out or go out to eat! 

Leave a comment of what your favorite go to meal is on a busy night. I'm always looking for more ideas!

Weekly Meal Plan!

 Ok so I know grocery prices have gone up and I'm really struggling to get our grocery amount down each week. As a family of five we spend about $300 each week. I know I can get it lower than that but I'm going to have to get creative. I'm going to post our meal plan each week. I was hoping to get this post up earlier this week but life happens! Our meals are not set in stone that it has to be a specific night. It really all depends on what is going on and what meal will be the easiest for that night. I do the majority of the cooking so I do the meal planning! 

Saturday- Beef Stroganoff with noodles and peas
Sunday - Leftovers - we actually went out to dinner this night with my parents for Chinese. So much better than leftovers!
Monday - Pot roast in the crockpot! This is super easy and I just add brown rice and green beans. Tuesday - Breakfast - eggs, bacon and toast.
Wednesday - Butter Chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans.
Thursday - Hamburgers and fries
Friday - Take-out 

By Friday I'm exhausted and totally over cooking so we usually get pizza and do movie night if everyone is home! I try to do my grocery shopping on Saturdays for the upcoming week. I do have to usually stop at the grocery store on Tuesday/Wednesday for more milk, fruit and veggies. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can get our grocery bill down! Wish me luck.
