Meal Planning for the Week

August 6th, 2012 at 03:52 am

I have some things that I need to use up during the early part of the week so am planning my meals for that accordingly. I accidentally made two loaves of bread instead of one yesterday (was on autopilot and forgot to switch recipes). I've planned to use up meat that is in the freezer and not purchase any new meat this week. I am also going to roast a whole chicken tomorrow for lunches this week.

Monday--
Spaghetti with homemade sauce (need to use up an onion)
Meatballs (the pork and hamburger ones as I need to use up some parsley and I've got some fresh basil and oregano from the garden that is ready)
Garlic toast
Cantaloupe (needs to be eaten ASAP)

Tuesday--
Meatball sandwiches using leftover meatballs and leftover sauce
Cole slaw
Last of the cherries, plus fresh blueberries

Wednesday--
Homemade pizza with pepperoni, crumbled leftover meatballs if there are any left, the last of the yellow bell pepper, and onion
Cole slaw

Thursday--
Club sandwiches (with my brandywine tomato!) or toasted ham and cheese according to preference
Homemade french fries
The first kohlrabi from the garden
Berries

Friday--
Bacon cheeseburgers
Corn on the cob
Nectarines
Salad

Saturday--
Chicken and broccoli stir-fry
Leftover fruit
Homemade peanut butter cookies

Sunday--
Pot roast
Potatoes and gravy
Green beans
Drop biscuits with homemade jam

    It is great that you plan out your meals this way. I bet that saves alot of nights when you would rather eat out!

    It does. It makes it so I don't have to think, I just need to check my list and start cooking. I think being too tired to think about dinner is probably the number one reason I get tempted to eat out.

    Terrific menu plan. There are 12 pages of ideas to use up cantaloupe on www.cooks.com. Favorite here is sorbet [simple syrup/cantaloupe puree], sub for banana in B/bread, added to chicken salad and great support for fish sticks.
