I scored last night at King Soopers. I made a quick run to the grocery store to get a few necessities & went down the meat aisles. They had just put a bunch of their chicken on manager's special. I was able to spend $13 & get all the meat we'll need for the week, maybe part of next. I'm also excited because the chicken was bone-in so I will be making some broth and shredding quite a bit of the meat to freeze. What that means, though, is I've planned my week's meals around what I got on sale. So it will be a week of mostly chicken.  I also don't have a lot to spend on groceries this week.  So I picked meals that I already have quite a bit of the ingredients already.

Here's what we are eating this week. As always, shopping list is included at the end of this post.


Wednesday: Enchilada Lasagna








Thursday: Jambalaya - I'm using our standard go-to for jambalaya.  I got chicken sausage for $1.99 so i'll try using that instead of beef sausage.

Friday: Frozen Lasagna & Homemade Artisan Bread (have you tried Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day? I got it from the library and the bread is AMAZING)

Saturday: Sausage & Potato Soup

Sunday: Leftover for lunch, pancakes & eggs for dinner

Shopping List:
Potatoes
Green Peppers
Onions
Carrots
Celery
Pork Chops
Chicken
Sausage
Bacon
3 cans Cream of Chicken Soup
Chicken Broth
1 can Cream of Celery
Green Chilis
Ranch Dressing mix
Rice
Corn Tortillas
Sour Cream
Paremesan
Mexi Cheese
Cheddar Cheese
Frozen Vegetables
Frozen Lasagna
2 pkg. Frozen Creamed Corn

Happy Monday!  I love the beginning of a new week.  It's like a fresh start to get on track with the meal planning, housework, & laundry.  I love how meal planning makes the day so much easier & not stressful.  If you haven't tried it yet, you should!  Most days at our house require quick kid-friendly meals.  Make sure you read all the way to the end of this post for my shopping list for these meals!

Here's what we are eating this week:


Tuesday: Tuna sauce on rice -- I'll get a picture up soon.  This is our cheap go-to meal.  Make a white sauce seasoned with lemon pepper.  Add 2 cans of tuna.  Serve over white rice.  Cheap, quick, and the entire family loves it.


Thursday: Asian Beef & Ramen -- Also one of our favorite quick go-to recipes.  I teach piano a lot in the afternoons so quick meals are a must after teaching up until dinner time.  Recipe & Pictures coming later this week!












Saturday: Homemade Egg McMuffins -- sausage patties, fried egg, cheese on an english muffin.  Kids love it!
