Menu Plan Monday

Time to start another week!! Last week we made some changes to the lineup because Keith had a couple of late nights at work so Brooke and I threw together some quick dinners. I also didn’t have a chance to get my beans cooked up. So I’m carrying over a couple of the meals from last week’s plan to this week. I love it when I can do that!!

Black Bean & Cheese Enchiladas
Black Bean Burgers
Taco Pasta
Chili
Homemade Pizza
Alfredo Pasta with Sausage
Free Night!!

I’m considering starting a series called “Weekend Warrior” that will discuss things you can do over the weekend that can save you time during the week. I would love to have some guest contributors share their ideas as well. Tips can include anything from kitchen tips, laundry, housecleaning, organization, time management, finances & budgeting, and quality family time….If you’re interested in contributing (you don’t have to be a working mom or have a blog), please send me an email at sarah@tiredmommytales.com.

Menu Plan Monday

Another week, another meal plan! We did pretty well with our plan last week. We had an unexpected pizza night after Brooke’s daycare closed on us unexpectedly and I attempted to work at home with Brooke. Oy!! We really enjoyed the Taco Pie so Keith has requested that go in our regular meal rotation. I’ve actually started a board in Pinterest for those meals that are tried and true for our family. When I’m hitting a roadblock with our meal plan, I’ll look there to find something I know is a hit for everyone!

We’ve got a couple new recipes in the plan this week.

Down Home Macaroni & Cheese
Taco Pasta
Crockpot Chicken & Dumplings
Black Bean & Cheese Enchiladas
Slow Cooker Cheesy Italian Tortellini
Black Bean Burgers

Have a great week everyone!!

Meal Plan Monday – January 9 – 15

Posted on by Sarah Marshall

Its probably not a shock that with the new year here, I’ve re-committed to meal planning. We’ve kept up with eating at home majority of the time but we were still spending more than we had to because due to not planning ahead I found myself making last minute stops at the grocery store.

So here’s the plan for this week:
English Muffin Pizzas
Crockpot Chicken & Dumplings
Taco Pie (my forum friend Amanda told me about this one – excited to try it!!)
Meatballs over Noodles
Paninis
Leftovers

I have to say meal planning and grocery shopping would be a trillion times harder if I didn’t use ZipList. Are y’all familiar with it? Would you be interested in a post about it and how I use it? Drop me a comment and let me know!!
