Weekly Menu

 January was such a long month that I completely missed posted my menu last week HA!  Don't worry, you did not miss anything exciting.  It was a week of leftovers and "make-up" meals - meals that had been planned for different dates but never got made so I made them this past week :-)  We are still using coolers so meal planning still has to be a little creative - or maybe it is grocery shopping that has to be creative - to ensure that I have room for the cold stuff.  I'm finding send in 2-3 small pick up orders a week (so every few days) is working best - I am finding that I am spending less money because often times a meal carries over due to extra leftovers or a change in plans for a day.  There is just less sitting in the coolers and freezer right now since we use it all up!  

Here is the plan for the coming week. 

Friday - Joshua and Nate are heading off to winter retreat so Darryl and I will pick up some dinner to enjoy at home.  Nothing fancy - maybe some Popeye's Chicken since I have coupons! 

Saturday - Darryl and I plan to enjoy an afternoon/evening out which will include a nice dinner.  Not sure where yet :-)

Sunday - The teens come home Sunday afternoon and it is Superbowl Sunday.  Plans are up in the air - they will come home hungry so more then likely they will want their favorite fast food.  Several people in my family can't eat much after about 6:30 due to sensitive stomachs so I'm not thinking we will have many snacks to eat during the game.  This blog gets posted (normally) on Friday morning and I probably wont' decide about Sunday food until well, Sunday. 

Monday - Meatball Soup and French Bread

Tuesday - Lasagna and Garlic Bread

Wednesday - It is Valentine's Day!  It's also Youth Group Night so we won't have our normal Spaghetti Dinner.  Darryl and I will enjoy dinner together . . .. not sure what yet.  

Thursday - Amish Baked Chicken, Butter Noodles, and Roasted Green Beans
