~Menu Plan Monday~

We are going to start camping towards the end of the week. Our menu for this week is a little sketchy. My husband told me on Thursday evening that we should try to spend no money until we go to the Iowa State Fair on Thursday. Then he clarified by saying that he guessed I'd need to do some shopping for our camping. I have two refrigerator freezers and a small deep freeze full of food. Add to that a full pantry and I have no reason to not cook, great meals for my family. But I lack inspiration and desire right now. So I'm hoping that beginning to do Menu Plan Monday will get me out of this rut! I would like to save our money for more great homeschooling stuff, not eating out!
Here's the plan so far...might need a little tweeking.
Monday:
BBQ Chicken
Grilled Potatoes
Sliced Tomatoes
Leftover: Chinese Cabbage Salad and Potato Salad
Tuesday:
Italian night:
Pasta with sausage and tomato sauce
Broccoli and cheese
Garlic Bread
Wednesday:
?????
We'll be setting up at the campground.
I'd like to get take out of some sort.
We'll see.
Thursday:
At Iowa State Fair
Friday:
Grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.
Chips/dip
Sliced tomatoes
??? either baked beans or a salad
Saturday:
Grilled chicken
foil grilled potatoes
Corn on the cob
Sunday:
Getting back from camping..
Cold meat sandwiches

Looks yummy! I really need to get better about Meal Planning. I've always failed in the past and it is not uncommon for me to open the fridge at 5:30pm and try to figure out what we'll eat for dinner that night (at 6:30pm). Not the best way to do it.
I was thinking that maybe I should do reverse Meal Planning. At the end of the week I can write down what we ate that week, after a few weeks of doing that, I can just use one of the old lists as my current Meal Plan. Maybe I should try that. I don't know.
