Menu Plan Monday

This question drives me crazy.  I’ll admit…it’s been a minute since I’ve posted Menu Plan.  I’m posting something a little something different today just to share with you how you can eat OUT for 5 days with kids eating free and me eating healthy.  Can I do it?  We shall see.  I’ll post the location and planned menu for that day each morning so make sure to check back every day.

Today were going to hit Jason’s Deli {from the advice of my friend over at Coupon Chic} Since Monday nights are kids eat free night.

Child #1
$3.59 – (includes side & drink)Turkey & Cheese Kidwich(bread choice: wheat, white ororganic wheat wrap)
Child #2
3.59-  (includes drink) Bowtie Pasta & Meatballs, Salad Bar, Baked Potato, (natural buttery blend, cheddar, sour cream, bacon)

Mama
$5.29 Half Sandwhich w/whole grain wheat & water to drink

Total for the 3 of us.  $5.29 + Tax

Check back tomorrow to see what the three of of are having for din din.  FYI – were doing din din without the hubs this week since he’s got meeting racked up.  Truly I would just love a bowl of cereal but I thought what a treat for the little ones and me, to try and go out to eat at all our favorite places.  You can click on the picture above to check out other wonderful Menu Plans for the week, Hosted by I’m an Organizing Junkie!

Menu Plan Monday~DF Style 2/22

in Menu Plan Monday

I will admit it. I have not planned our meals for what seems for about a month now. Between moving into the new home. Moving my blog over from blogger to wordpress. And pretty much everyday things that come up, I have just not had the time to get organized {funny right} We seem to be all settled into the new home. The blog; well…it will be an ongoing work in progress but our budget from not planning….HORRIBLE. It’s almost like falling off the wagon if you drunk…no..seriously. Here is my plan of attach for the week.

Monday: Shepppard’s Pie (Rachel Ray style)..it’s so yummy
Tuesday: Left overs
Wednesday: Chicken piccatta
Thursday: leftovers but making the chicken into a salad
Friday: Restaurant.com Hopefully, it’s been a while! (new code eff 2/22/10 SAVOR)
Saturday: Chicken Fajitas (Cowboy style)
Sunday: oh so yummy leftovers!
