Menu Plan Monday – The Catch-Up Week

March 26, 2012

While I’m typing this, we’re in the car heading back from a long weekend vising the in-laws in Kentucky. I’m picturing the fridge at home… the one that we did NOT restock last week, knowing that we would be out of town. There’s not much worse than coming home to spoiled milk. But that means that we MUST go to the grocery store Monday. It also means that the menu plan options are wide open. I’m not trying to use up what we have because I did that last week. 🙂

Here’s the plan…. And it includes starting the week off with my hubby grilling up a big batch of chicken for us!

Breakfasts

Breakfast Egg & Cheese Burritos, Fruit
Homemade Granola
Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits
Homemade Egg McMuffin Sandwiches
Baked Oatmeal

Lunches

Leftovers
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Quesadillas
English Muffin Pizzas

Dinners

Cream Cheese Rigatoni
Lasagna
Italian Spice Rub Grilled Chicken, Baked Potatoes, Green Beans
Grilled Chicken Salads, Homemade Bread
Cream Cheese Chicken & Vegetable Soup (using leftover grilled chicken)
Homemade Pizza
