First Menu Plan For 2008

Now that we are about half way through the first month of the new year, I am finally finding a little bit more motivation to get things done. It probably helps that there is abundant sunshine today, at least you can call it abundant if you live in the Pacific Northwest. We will take what we can get, even if they really are just extended sunbreaks :) .

Last week we were still in the re-entry process from extended-vacation-mode so I didn’t get a chance to do a menu plan. Let me tell you, our week suffered because of it. Hopefully this week won’t have quite so many bumps in it … although I still reserve the right to be flexible with our meals. If one week I don’t feel like the meal planned for Tuesday, then I will merely substitute Friday’s meal for it since I have all the ingredients for the week on hand. Flexible meal planning is the best.

One of my goals for 2008 is to also add some new recipes to our cooking rotation, but I don’t have that much motivation in me yet. However, if you would like to see some of my other recipes, feel free to visit the Recipe Tab on the top of my blog.

Monday: Lasagna, fruit and salad

Tuesday: White Sauce Chicken Enchiladas and veggies

Wednesday: Leftovers

Thursday: Kidney Bean Tacos or Beef Tacos

Friday: Leftovers

Saturday: Swiss Chicken Bake, fruit and veggies

Sunday: My Day Off

  1. I see you included lasagna on your menu this week. I plan to go get the fixings for that tomorrow, too. :) Have a great week!

    I love to do lasagna with the no bake pasta. It is so much quicker and easier. It hasn’t been around all that long.

  3. Sounds like a good menu! Hope you have a great week!

  15. Eliminating the crazies at dinner time was the reason behind MommyWhat’sForDinner!

    Before Christmas, we had one week when I didn’t get to my menu plan and it totally messed up my routine. Not to mention I spent too much money at the grocery store because I had to pop in every couple of days.
