Menu Plan Monday: April 8 -20

Menu Plan Monday 🍽 April 8 -20 

I planned meals and made a grocery list over the weekend 

for the next two weeks. I did pretty good with the last menu plan - 

I made 8/12 dinners [plus added an unexpected @hellofresh meal (thanks again @tren_math ) 

and we ordered out a few times because cooking dinner just didn’t fit in. ] 

I carried over the 4 meals* I didn’t make and added enough meals to take us 

through Easter weekend. I don’t have a set day for each meal, I just make whatever fits I

nto my schedule or what we are in the mood for, but I do make sure to have all 

the ingredients on hand. I pulled out the Magnolia and Pioneer Woman cookbooks and 

added some of our faves for this 2-week menu.

• Hamburger Steak 

• Potato Soup & Grilled Cheese
• Sheet Pan Nachos 

• Almond Chicken Tenders 

• Spaghetti 

• Steak + Shrimp Skewers 

• Easter Dinner - Ham 

• Hello Fresh meal 

• Chicken Pot Pie*
• Lasagna*
• White Bean Chicken Chili* 

• Chicken Salad on Croissants & Tomato Basil Soup*

and Spam /Fried Potatoes & Onions (don’t judge it’s one of my faves ☺️) 

I did add Ina Garten's Sauted Cabbage as a side, so I guess that fancied my meal up a little! :O)

{SAUTED CABBAGE}

[*I add 2 T olive oil as well]

Here’s my last menu plan in case you are looking for dinner ideas - 

- Lemon-Basil Shrimp Skewers w/Orzo & Avocado

- Clams Casino, Baked Potatoes, & Asparagus

-  Steak & Roasted Brussel Spouts

 - Meatloaf, glazed carrots, & collards 

- Grilled Chicken Caprese Salad 

- bbq chicken, rice, & collards

- Shrimp Po’Boys & Homemade Chips 

- Taco Soup & Corn Bread

- Beef & Broccoli over Rice & Corn Pudding 

- Neopolitan Casserole & Garlic Bread 

- Hello Fresh meal 

- Order Out

I felt much more organized and I definitely saved money on the grocery budget using a planned menu, so hopefully I’ll keep it up! Planning to do another trip to ALDI this week - I was super impressed with the prices and quality there.
