Our first Menu Plan of 2012

Although I haven't shared my menu planning each week; I kept at it.  I know I've said it before, several times; but it really helps.  I save time shopping (grocery store - once a week), I save money by having a grocery list and I keep my sanity by not frying brain cells that are exhausted when I clock out at 5pm trying to think up something to feed the family.

I did share my New Year's Eve Menu.  Everything happened as planned; tasty, simple and fun.

I tried a new easy peasy recipe for appetizer meatballs...oh they were Yummy!  Plus there were fancy decorated box cupcakes.  Ok so I cheated, I admit it.  ;-)

Now that your mouth is watering, let's get to this week's menu plan.

It's turning off FRIGID this week after temps in the low 60's during the day.

Cold weather, crazy work week = Soup meals!

Monday - Field peas, cornbread, Mac-n-cheese

Tuesday - Tater soup and grilled cheese sandwiches

Wednesday - Leftovers

Thursday - Veggie Soup with cornbread

Friday - Leftover soup with sandwiches

Saturday - Open, maybe a night out?
