I didn’t make a menu plan last week.
Again, I was reminded me of how much of a difference menu-planning makes in our overall home-sanity. Having a menu plan, especially in these fun-but-unscheduled last days of summer means that we can survive. I generally have enough to throw together some meals, but if I don’t plan ahead, I invariably am missing one key ingredient for my last minute brainstorm.
This week is our last before school starts, so I’m keeping it simple.
Monday – Steaks and baked potatoes. (Hubby volunteered to grill, and I’m not going to argue with that.)
Tuesday – Spaghetti
Wednesday – BBQ chicken sandwiches
Thursday – Chicken Stir Fry – A family favorite!
Friday – Out to eat
Saturday – Homemade pizza
Sunday – Grilled hamburgers
Simple as can be. Out of everything on this list, the only things I need to buy are hamburger buns for the chicken sandwiches and burgers, lettuce. Not bad!

Yes. Never, ever argue with your husband when he offers to cook. My husband is the grill master in our house too. I take full advantage when he volunteers. 🙂
