We’re officially on the third month of my 365 Day Meal Plan, and despite hiccups and my forgetful nature when it comes to scheduling we’re not only managing to cook at home every meal (aside from planned outings), but we’re also seeing the savings in our bottom line. After two months we’ve shaved about 25% off our total food spending!
Reminder: You can create your own rotating menu plan by downloading my menu plan templates which includes a handy grocery list template.
Week Eight Meal Recap
Monday: Bone-in chicken breasts, rice, buttered green beans, cornbread
I totally spaced on buttermilk so the cornbread didn’t get made. I know there’s a shortcut way to make buttermilk (dash of vingear + milk), but personally prefer the real thing.
Tuesday: Brinner- gluten-free pancakes or waffles, bacon (drool), fruit salad, smoothies
Nana visited and bought the kids Chick-Fil-A for dinner.
Wednesday: “Mix Night” nacho chips, tacos, tortillas, taco beef, leftover chicken, and lots of sides.
Such an easy meal to make, and thankfully it’s quick since Wednesday was a busy day!
Thursday: Rosemary Roast, roasted potatoes, salad
My husband was out this evening and since this is his favorite meal I opted to keep it simple with sandwiches for the kids and a salad for me.
Friday: Make your own pizzas, side of salad (if you aren’t gluten-free try out our Whalen family pizza dough recipe)
Aidan had his last basketball game this evening, so we took him out for hamburgers as a treat for working so hard this season (he’s new to playing basketball and has been practicing dribbling at home all. the. time.).
Saturday: Clean out the fridge night
Always a fun meal-tonight consisted of gluten free pizza (we didn’t make the night before), hot dogs, waffles and lots of fruits and veggies.
Sunday: Roasted chicken, rice, broccoli
Thankfully this week a few of our after school activities have slowed or stopped, so this week should be less hectic than the last 3-4 weeks have been.
Week Nine Meal Plan: Week of March 4th
Monday: Hamburgers and hot dogs, frugal fries, and salad
Tuesday: Split chicken breasts, brown rice, salad, sliced oranges
Wednesday: Gluten-free pasta, broccoli, garlic bread, cheese & sauce, salad
Thursday: Cider glazed pork loin, gluten-free corn bread, salad
Friday: Pizza night, garlic bread, salad
