Part of this new me plan includes planning meals. I have recently come upon a bunch of blogs about saving money and many of them participate in Menu Plan Monday. So, I am going to be a joiner and join them, as this covers every step of my new plan (saves money, good for health, organizes house)!!!
Monday: Apple Strudel Pancakes (mix), bacon, grapes
Tuesday: Pizza in Crockpot
Wednesday: Friends over...snacks, apps, some dessert....yum!
Thursday:Leftover Thursday
Friday: Chicken with Scallion Sauce
Saturday: Crazy Crockpot Pork Chops
Sunday: Leftovers
Lunches and Breakfasts are pretty much the same; sandwiches and cereal. I will have to make some muffins and other things for snacks....but for now, not in my menu plan. Maybe someday...
