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.
