Menu Plan Monday!!

How do the weeks keep going by so fast? Now that I am 800 weeks pregnant getting dinner on the table every night seems like more of a challenge. Good thing Safeway has been giving me groceries the last few week’s as we are stuffed to the brim! We have 5 people staying with us this week and thank goodness for coupons as I am happy we have an abundance of food to serve.

Here is what I have planned:

MONDAY: Kashi Frozen Pizzas (they were .57 each at Sfwy!)

TUESDAY: Calzones– Homemade pizza dough- regular has marinara, cheese, pepperoni and veggie version substitutes vegetarian sausage w/ steamed veggies

WEDNESDAY: Tacos- regular version uses ground beef, veggie version has Boca burgers chopped up and sauteed with taco seasoning

THURSDAY: Mushroom spaghetti w/ homemade meatballs & Caesar salad

FRIDAY: Grilled burgers and shoestring fries w/ corn on the cob (veggie version uses Boca burger)

SATURDAY: Cuban Chicken Wraps w/ steamed veggies

SUNDAY: Easter! No cooking for me. I will likely take a dessert- I might try to bake a carrot cake cheesecake recipe that looks incredible.

For more great ideas to plan your menu this week, check out Organizing Junkie.

And be sure to check back here on Wednesday for my Bargain Meal of the Week featuring a recipe for 4- under $5 using items from Safeway’s ad.

And then come back again on Thursday for Try This Thursday where I make a recipe from something fantastic I found on the web. This week I am going to try a recipe from a reader to use some of the free cereal in our pantry.

    This was a $2500 winner from Better Homes so it is probably incredible. Here is the recipe:
