Ugh Meal Planning Week One

I am not one of those people that can set a meal plan for each day and stick to it so I made a different way that was convenient for my family.  

First, I sat down and searched for new recipes via http://www.kraftfoods.com...then/ , then I made a list of meals and sides from 1 to 7, then a grocery list of all the items I needed(even if I had them already), and then I went shopping.

Instead of listing meals on a specific day from Monday to Sunday I did 1 to 7 so it would allow me to be able to change the meals to which ever sounded good that night and then when I used that meal I cross it out for the week.


Week one (Don't judge me on the food I decided at the last minute to do weekly grocery shopping!)
 I always shopped monthly to avoid unnecessary trips to the store but I ended up wasting more food then saving money!

1- Homemade Pizza & Chips
2- Stuffed Pork chops & Gilled Veggies
3-Meatloaf, Baked Potatoes, & Salad
4-Slacked and went out to eat
5-Beef Stew and Bacon Tomato Salad
6-??
7-Chicken Quesadillas ( crazy bday party day no time for a good dinner)

I PROMISE Week 2 is a hundred times better and I will be leaving the URL's so you can check out the food we are trying!

  1. I used to plan my meals out and saved tons of money! I need to get back on that, I don't know how many extra trips are taken to the grocery store when we just wing it.

    1. We were eating out at least 3 times a week since our scedueles have been so crazy! So I am trying to get back into the swing of cooking so far I am not doing the greatest but I hope to start cooking every night again!
