I've been sick the last couple of days so I've been a little out of it, but I did manage to plan my menu while lying around resting on the couch. :-) This budget thing can be so hard sometimes! We went over a little bit last week, so this week is just buying the minimum and staying under the budget. It's amazing how fast food prices can add up. Also, I often cook large portions of many of our meals (especially soups), so I will be putting some food in the freezer this week too. Anyways, here is our cheap and simple menu for this week. Happy Cooking!!
Monday - Potato Cheddar Chowder, Salad w/Homemade Dressing
Tuesday - Mac & Cheese, Salad, Green Beans
Wednesday - Tortellini with Veggies
Thursday - Lentil Soup, Quesadillas (from last week)
Friday - Vegetable Pot Pie, Salad w/Homemade Dressing
Saturday - Leftovers
Sunday - Brown Rice and Black Bean Casserole (modified)
Breakfasts -
Granola
Apple Muffins
Lemon-Blueberry Dream Muffins
Oatmeal w/Honey and Cinnamon
Grits, Eggs, Biscuits w/Apple Butter
Oatmeal-Apple Pancakes
Lunches -
Leftovers
Mimi's Wraps
Salad w/Homemade Dressing
Sandwiches
Taco Salad

I love how wholesome your meal plan is, while still being frugal! I'm checking out two of your recipes -- the brown rice and black bean dish, as well as the oatmeal apple pancakes :)
I haven't had tortellini in a while. You've got me thinking I should make it again soon.
Great looking menu! The potato cheddar chowder sounds scrumptious! :D Have a great week!
I've been reading menu plan monday posts for over a year now and if anyone needs to particpate it's me.
I usually just write the menu plan down on my calendar and it's more for my grocery list than anything.
The problem is sometimes I do not follow through and then I'm winging it again at dinner time!
The chowder loks delish! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful week.
I like the bean/rice casserole! Definitely going to try that one. Thanks! :)
