Welcome
Apr. 13, 2006 - Menu Lists
Posted in Menu Time!

pregnancy calendar


We have done our grocery shopping for the next two weeks and since I make out a list of meals each time we shop I decided to add it onto here.  I usually don't commit to cooking meals on certain days as I can't commit to it that way. For instance, if I am mighty tired from a long day I'd rather fix something quick and easy when "quick and easy" wasn't on the plan. So I just simply make lists and pick what to eat from it according to my mood or energy level.

  Breakfast

  • doughnuts
  • doughnuts
  • cinnamon rolls
  • cereal
  • cereal

  • bacon and eggs w/ grits

  • biscuits and gravy
  • biscuits and gravy
  • pancakes
  • pancakes
  • muffins
  • muffins
  • <>whole wheat PB&J
**** I simply cannot eat sweet cereal so early in the day and I will be hungry just an hour or two later so what's the point?  So I will eat an alternative like whole wheat toast or sometimes just leftovers as long as it has protein. I sometimes eat oatmeal and make our muffins with some whole wheat flour and oatmeal. Doughnuts are saved for when we have a later breakfast or something and I can stomache them alright but I still get hungry soon.... the children don't complain of that happening.

Supper(sorry, we are from the south and supper is in the evening. Dinner is a meal that's ate around 1:00p.m. or 2:00p.m. but if it's ate around 11:00 a.m. or 12:00 noon it's "lunch" If you invite someone for dinner around here they may show up at your door at 2:00 instead of, say, 6:00p.m. so it's always good to clarify what you mean.)

  • homemade pizza
  • homemade pizza
  • homemade pizza
  • homemade pizza
  • ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans
  • ham, sweet potato casserole and butter beans
  • potato soup and cornbread
  • tater tot casserole, okra and stewed tomatoes
  • crockpot roast and veggies with rice
  • roast soup
  • roast soup
  • chili mac, corn
  • baked beans(with hamburger added), coleslaw
  • baked beans(with hamburger added), ???
  • curried chicken, rice and potatoes
  • chicken and noodles, steamed veggies
  • spaghetti(homemade)
  • spaghetti(homemade)
  • spaghetti(homemade)
  • pinto beans, fried Hillshire Farms sausgage, fried "taters" and onion with cornbread
  • salmon patties, tomatoes and noodles, beans
  • pork chop casserole,  corn and sweet peas
  • baked barbque pork chops, mashed potatoes, beans
  • barbque chicken leg quarters, coleslaw and steamed veggies
We have enough meals for supper to last a month. We will be out of town a few nights, will eat dinner at my parents for Easter, and will have at least one leftover night. So, on our next shopping excursion we'll just get mainly to replenish our breakfast and lunch goods. I am estimating us spending at the most $375 dollars for the month and that includes paper products and cleaning supplies for the month.

We do have  a few "desserts" for the coming few weeks as well. We have ice cream, rice crispy treats, cookies to bake, and fresh fruit.

We are not snackers around here but we have popcorn, fruit, tortilla chips, and fresh bread(who doesn't like to "snack" on fresh bread?)

That is how I like to do meal planning also. I may not feel like having spaghetti the night I planned so I would rather have the ingredients on hand to make it whatever night I choose. Looks like some yummy meals :-)

Dear Susan,
It always amazes me how you feel your large family for so very little money. Thank you for shaing your menus. This helps me. It is just dh and I however we have specail health needs so we eat different. I have been spending 800.00 a month but this month I am trying to cut that to 600.00 I know that sounds like alot but it takes it for what we have to eat. I have found from you and the others on Crystal's MB things that will help me. Could you please post the recipe for baked beans with hamburger?
Hugs,
Elizabeth
