Menu Plan Monday....

A little late but I decided not to go grocery shopping so I had to change things up a little.
Last week we ended up about $20 over budget after a $11 trip to White Castle and a weekend trip to pick up sour cream and taco chips. I want to make sure things average out to less then $100 a week for the 6 of us so I skipped my usual Monday grocery store trip. I think I will pick up some items by the end of the week because I will need cabbage and there are a few sale items that I want to buy for Christmas Dinner.

Last week I managed to get a few batches of chili and taco meat into the freezer as well as about 2 dozen burritos. I made the empanadas from last week also but they never made it into the freezer :)

Monday- A hard to describe but super yummy mexican style spicy chicken and cheese croissant sandwiches.
Tuesday-Spaghetti and garlic bread
Wednesday-Breakfast for dinner
Thursday-Shanghai noodles -Sauteed shredded cabbage, carrots and garlic in sesame oil, seasoned with pepper flakes, soy sauce and ginger powder served with thin spaghetti noodles
Friday-Chili ( In the freezer from last week)
Saturday- Pizza and Wings, my sons birthday dinner, bumped from last week because he couldn't eat that day :(
Sunday-Bean soup with smoked sausage and fresh bread
