Not really feeling the meal planning thing. For the most part I have given up on improving anyone's health. But seeing as my snow pants barely button, I need to keep on trying. The house is pretty lean. 2 lbs hamburger, 2 frozen pizzas, tomato soup, some bacon pieces, frozen shrimp, potatoes and lot of little bits that don't make enough for a meal for anyone. I need to talk myself into going the the store no matter how cold it is.
Sunday - I should really learn to make this plan after dinner earlier in the week. Hate doing it with a meal for today over my head.
Tomato soup and grilled cheese
Monday - Mom works late of Monday's. Boy has after school things, and both have lessons in the 6 o'clock hour. Life would be better if we all just started fasting on Mondays. Doubt I can get the family to move forward with this plan. For now we just eat late, and look the other way as kids make snacks that could feed an army. The meal can be small as it really isn't what most are eating for the evening.
Egg drop soup and shrimp fried rice
Tuesday - Mom is home at the usual time. Boy gets home pretty late. Girl leaves for swimming about the time the boy gets in. Then we bring the boy up for swimming and wait until he is done to bring anyone home. That is the way Tuesdays have been for a while. Not a great night for food. Perhaps this should be the fasting night. It works best to just have something people can eat as they come through.
I think we will try a sausage pasta dish from my fix-it and forget it lightly book. The sausage is in the crock pot and the pasta is made separately. I think as people go by they can put the sausage on room temp pasta and it will be ok.
Wednesday - We all head to church for activities. Mom has a hair cut at 5. So the meal needs to be something the others here are up to making.
Frozen pizzas with a salad
Thursday - Big concert in the city. Our nephew's college is performing. My sister is coming down. But I believe the plan is to see her at the concert.
Baked potato soup from the crock pot
Friday - If I am reading the calendar correctly it is just a girls eat night as the boys are headed off for camping. Hubby is planning on making a tater tot cock pot meal. Those items will need to be on the grocery list too.
Pasta for the gals
