Menu Plan 1.22.12

Last week's menu offered up more leftovers than expected, so I was able to roll some unused meals into this week's plan.  The purpose of menu planning is to have something in the pantry or freezer READY to cook and avoid extra trips to the grocery store (I shop once a week).  You can read my easy tips on how I plan HERE.  I usually menu plan on Saturday morning and shop Saturday or Sunday; cause I hate going to the grocery store after working all day.  With having to work next Sunday, I am planning a bit further than usual.

Last week's Easy Chicken-n-dumpling noodles

Sunday - Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole (new recipe) with English peas ***Edited to add:  This was easy and was OH SO delicious!  It will be placed on our Master Menu List.  

Monday - Lasagna with Garlic bread  (rolled over from last weeks menu)

Tuesday - Leftovers (if not, then Breakfast - because we didn't have it last week, thanks to plenty of leftovers)

Wednesday - Sloppy Joes with sweet tater fries and slaw

Thursday - Leftovers or fend for yourself

Friday -  Pizza

Saturday - Field peas with Hashbrown Casserole 

Sunday - Leftover peas and casserole  (I have to work)
