Monthly Meal Planning
This morning, my sister-in-law posted her monthly meal plans for February and March on Facebook. She asked others to post theirs, so Betsy, here's mine:
February
Week 1:
-Stir fry
-Chicken pesto pasta with chard
-Indian food leftovers from the weekend
-Potato soup and salad
-Homemade pizza
-Venison chops, new potatoes and cooked carrots (free meat from friend=must use)
Week 2:
-Chicken (or white) chili with cornbread and salad
-Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and peas
-Breakfast casserole
-Greek spaghetti with salad and homemade French bread (still learning...)
-Chicken Parmesan with rice and asparagus
-Event (no meal needed)
Week 3:
-Barbeque pulled pork sandwiches and salad
-Cornbread bake (taco-seasoned gr. beef and taco fixings on top of cornbread)
-Chicken satay with rice and edamame
-Turkey soup and salad (used frozen turkey pieces and broth from Christmas)
-Meatballs with gravy, french fries (from TJs) and broccoli
-Pizza
Week 4:
-Walnut-encrusted chicken with rice and asparagus
-Spaghetti with gr. turkey, homemade French bread and salad
-Chuck wagon beans with cornbread and broccoli
-Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup (got to do these kind of meals sometimes)
-Pot roast with veggies, bread and salad
-Grilled Italian sausage and roasted winter veggies
Note: I plan for six days a week to account for a day of leftovers or convenience food.

Wow, I do good to plan a day or two in advance (!) You have inspired me, I think I will TRY to plan a week of meals sometime soon...
