We have been keeping up with our menu quite well since the school year started and it is saving us quite a bit of time and money.
For this post I will include last week's menu as well as this week's.
Last week:
Starting on Saturday the 1st:
- Saturday: Slow cooker pulled pork BBQ, coleslaw, chips, and green bean casserole (We had a friend in town from South Africa and this is one of the meals she requested)
- Sunday: We got take out sushi since we were all exhausted. And we had eaten the leftovers for lunch.
- Monday: Spaghetti and meat sauce (I had my CPR training so I made dinner before I left and ate when I got home)
- Tuesday: BBQ Chicken Nachos - it was originally supposed to be beer chicken but I wanted to try my pork BBQ recipe with chicken.
- Wednesday: Make your own wraps
- Thursday: Green Curry
- Friday: Slow Cooker Fiesta Chicken over Rice
- Saturday: Steaks on the grill, steamed clams with garlic butter, homemade potato chips, steamed broccoli.
This week:
- Sunday: Fall Chili with Skillet Corn Bread ( recipe to come)
- Monday: Leftover chili or chicken noodle soup (which I made for lunch) since both girls have Scouts tonight.
- Tuesday: Empanadas
- Wednesday: Brinner- Pumpkin Pancakes
- Thursday: Chicken fingers, mixed veggies, and rolls
- Friday:Pad Thai
- Saturday: Burgers on the grill
Breakfasts:
I made several pumpkin and banana breads that the girls have been eating for breakfast. They also have the option of cereal, scrambled eggs, pancakes, or oatmeal.

Lunches: They get to choose from Pb&J, mac and cheese (Annie's organic), leftovers, or quesadillas. Most days they choose PB&J with applesauce.
Snacks:
We have a morning snack every day- kids learn better when they aren't hungry so we make sure to stop and get a snack. They like cheese sticks ( since they aren't lactose intolerant). I normally have a Trader Joe's soy yogurt with chia seeds.
For afternoon snacks they choose from Goldfish, fruit, yogurt, or a cereal bar.
For my snacks I usually snag a handful of almonds or veggies and hummus.
So that's it- our menu for the week. If we have to deviate a little I have options in my freezer and cabinets so we still don't have to eat out.
What's on your menu for this week?
