Menu Plan Monday, January 16



New week,  new menu! This one is going to be a little short because we had family in town this weekend and had our Christmas with them... well, Thankmas. That's what we call it! Thanksgiving and Christmas rolled into one.. get it? Anyways, we had dinner Friday and Saturday nights and then leftovers tonight (remember, my menus go from Fri-Thurs)! Yum! Tomorrow night we're having dinner at my parents! So, here's my plan:

Breakfasts: 
Favorite Pancakes & fruit (x2)
Scrambled eggs, toast & fruit (x3)
Giant Breakfast Cookies & fruit(x2)

Lunch:
Mini Pizzas(these went over really well this week.. sandwich thins with pizza sauce & cheese) & carrots (x2)
PB&J & peas (x4)
Annie's Mac and Cheese (had a coupon) & Veggie
(Salads & leftovers for me!)

Dinner:
Italian Roast Wraps & green beans (didn't use my roast last week because I'm having crock pot issues, but hopefully I can resolve that this week. I made beef stew instead because I found a pack of stew meat.)
Vegetable Soup (w/ leftover roast) and corn muffins
Spaghetti, Salad 

Snacks:
Yogurt
Raisins
Cheese
Pop Corn
Fruit
Chips and Salsa


Recipe Review: Last week I made this Chicken Lo Mein recipe. It was super easy and super good! I used whole wheat linguine noodles and a bag of frozen stir fry mix! Surprisingly, both of the boys liked it! It will definitely be made again in the near future! Also, I made Pioneer Woman's Dreamy Apple Pie for Thankmas and it was so good! I used a store bought crust.. one day I'll make my own!

Budget update: I went over my budget $14.57. I'm okay with that but am going to work hard at doing better next time! :)
