Menu Plan Monday

Planning our menu in advance helps eliminate those last minute, after-work, "oh crap" moments, that lead to unplanned dinners out. ;-)

I'm happy to say that, since we've moved to California, we've had zero unplanned dinners out!! That's pretty huge for us.

Here's what's on the menu for the week:


  • Sunday - homemade pizza. Meatball for the adults, cheese for the kids.
  • Monday - stuffed peppers (bumped from last week)
  • Tuesday - chicken pesto pasta
  • Wednesday - Leftover pizza
  • Thursday - Leftover peppers
  • Friday - Baked chicken risotto
  • Saturday - Likely out to dinner. We were planning to do an overnight trip to Monterey with the kids, but we think we can do the drive back & forth in one day. That will save on the cost of a hotel, but we will likely eat breakfast & lunch out.
  • Sunday - Homemade pizza
  • Monday - (MLK day off for everyone). I may make another giant batch of taco meat. We'll have tacos on Monday & freeze the rest. I also plan to make homemade tortilla chips & guacamole. Yum!

What about you? What's on the menu for the week?

  1. In the latest Rachael Ray magazine, she had a bunch of recipes for guacamole. They looked delicious. You might be able to find them online.

  2. Zero unplanned dinners out - very well done. I can't say the same, but only one in 2014 so far at our hole in the wall chinese food place that doesnt take credit cards. I was just too tired to cook and hubby needed to get out of the house (self employed and works from home). Cheers!
