Menu, Grocery List, Recipes Year 3 Week 13

The Versatility of a Menu Plan

I have recently discovered that my menu plans (probably most menu plans) are extremely versatile. Yes, I’m a little slow at catching on.

I didn’t use to use my own menu plans and grocery lists very often. I’m always cooking new things to share on the blog, so it didn’t make sense to print off a menu and list for meals I knew I probably wouldn’t make.

Then life got {even} busier. So I printed off a menu and list, shopped and hung the list of meals on my fridge. I made a few of them as written. The rest of our meals I created to share here with you.

What I found out is even when I don’t make the meals as planned, the grocery list still works. The reason is that almost all of my meals use common ingredients. The list makes sure I’m keeping my pantry and freezer stocked with foods that can be used to make many different meals.

Win-win! I don’t have to do any planning and I still have the freedom to change things up. If you see me in the grocery now, I’ll have a printed list in my hands.

If you’re in a habit of shopping without a list or spending a lot of time creating a list, you might try printing this one. Maybe you’ll find freedom in the plan too!

Here’s what is on the menu today:

Olive Oil and Italian Herb Roasted Chicken, Roasted Carrots and Parsnips, green veggie

Ravioli in the Slow cooker, salad

Croque Monsieur (Ham and Cheese), salad

Italian Beef Sandwiches in the Slow Cooker, French fries, carrot sticks

Black Bean and Corn Chicken Taco Bake, chips and salsa, salad

Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Cheddar Muffins

Cherry Oat Bars

January 30, 2012 by Tiffany

January is nearly over. I didn’t make any resolutions, but we did change things up in our homeschooling for second semester. We switched co-ops and changed some of the curriculum too. So far, it’s all going much smoother for us. A month into it and I can say the changes were for the better.

What about you? Did you make any resolutions or are you working on new habits this year?

Maybe eating at home more often is something you’re working on. If so, you’ll like this menu. It’s got some of my favorite recipes on it and they’re all easy to make.

As always, you get 6 dinners and 1 dessert. Serving suggestions are included in bold on the recipes and curly brackets {} on the grocery list. Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

Ham and Pineapple Fried Rice, steamed green veggie

Lentil Tacos, salad, chips and salsa

Mediterranean Chicken in the Slow Cooker, angel hair pasta, salad

Hamburger Vegetable Soup, Cheddar Muffins

Stromboli, salad

Complete BBQ Chicken Dinner in the Slow Cooker, steamed green veggie

Yesterday, my oldest child turned 20. How is that possible? Wasn’t it just yesterday that she was toddling down the hall in a pair of high heels and a onesie?

Today marks the day that I married Jim. And he married me. 24 years ago.

I married him when I was 12.

Just kidding. Really I was 20. The same age my daughter is now. Oh my goodness.

Enough of this time-flying stuff. Let’s talk about food…

The menu this week includes a whole chicken in the slow cooker. Buy a big one and you’ll have enough leftover to make the Italian Chicken and Rice Casserole.
