Menu Plan Monday: Recycled

January 16, 2012

Last week I had a simple, organized menu plan. And it was one that I truly could carry out! However, my brother-in-law came for a visit (yay!) and I decided to make a big pan of lasagna, some Southwest chicken wraps, and Black Bean & Corn Dip. We ended up eating those and leftovers of them for a couple of days. That means that I’m recycling some of last week’s menu plan and making it this week instead.

The good news is that we did a great job doing breakfast minus the box. That was a major goal for last week. We only ate cereal one day! So this week we’ll try to continue that. Here’s our plan.

Breakfasts

Strawberry Banana Smoothies & Toast
Ham, Egg, and Cheese English Muffins
Homemade Cinnamon Rolls
Homemade Granola
Eggs, Toast & Fruit
Peanut Butter Banana Toast Sandwiches

Lunches

Pizza
Sandwiches, Veggies & Fruit
Soup
Popcorn, Veggies & Fruit (just to mix things up a bit!)
Leftovers

Dinners

Homemade Pizza
Chicken & Sausage Stew
Mexican Rice & Beans with Corn
Loaded Baked Potatoes (topped with leftover chili from the freezer)
Broiled Tilapia Parmesan
Baked Rotini with Meat Sauce
