I never got around to posting a Menu Plan last week…partly due to busyness and partly due to feeling uncertain about how some of my menu choices were going to work out.  And sure enough, I did make more last minute changes in my menu last week than normal.

This past week we ended up having Creamy Beef and Noodles, Leftover soup, Chicken Fajitas, Spaghetti (well, the kids had this while we ate at a church meeting), homemade pizza, Curried Chickpeas & Curried Cauliflower and Potatoes w/rice…and then today we had slow cooker pulled pork for lunch (family lunch to celebrate Kai’s birthday) and the traditional Superbowl meal of Chili for dinner.

Here’s what I have on the schedule for this week.  I am mainly planning to use ingredients I have gotten on sale previous weeks (like ground beef and potatoes), as well as taking advantage of the sale on chicken at Cub Foods and the sale on Pork Loins at Rainbow.  At least I hope I can make it out to both those stores this week!

Monday: Shepherd’s Pie

Tuesday: Chicken, Bean and Rice tacos/burritos with guacamole! (using up cheap avacados from my trip to Aldi last week)

Wednesday: Chili Bake using leftover Superbowl Chili

Thursday: Chicken Tettrazini

Friday: Pork loin, with (I think) some kind of a rice side dish (details are still fuzzy on this meal and exactly how I am going to prepare these two items…I’ll be looking at recipes and perhaps deciding based on what kind of deals I find this week!).

Saturday: Baked Potato Soup and bread

Sunday: Something that doesn’t involve me cooking.    Hopefully a date night!
