1. TV dinners (because I work 11-7 that day)
2. cheeseburgers (11-7 again, so I picked something easy)
3. breaded chicken sandwiches (These are very similar to the McChicken sandwiches from McDonald's.  I can buy a package at Walmart for around $6.50 and it will make at least 4 meals, which is much cheaper than buying it at McDonald's.  Plus we don't have to use the gasoline in the car to pick up the fast food, and thus, more savings.) 
4. Salmon patties
5. Chicken and rice 
6. Leftover ham from the freezer (working 11-7 again, so wanted something quick/easy for dd and dh to make)
7. Smoked sausage, green beans and potatoes in the crock pot  (Again, something easy since I'm working 11-7 that day)
8. Spaghetti (I already have the meat browned.  I will thaw it and add it to the sauce, then all dd needs to do is heat it and cook the spaghetti.)
9. Pizza (homemade)
10. Pot roast in the crock pot
11. Cincinnati chili (I have some of this sauce already in the freezer, so it will be easy to make on Sunday after church.)
12. Comfy chicken soup (my absolute favorite soup recipe)
13. Steak stroganoff in the crock pot. 
14. Leftover comfy chicken soup.
15. Fried or baked chicken thighs
16. Pizza (a Friday night favorite)
17. Fried cubed steak (I coat it with egg and seasoned bread crumbs, then fry it.)
18. BBQ chicken thighs in the crock pot.  (I can start this before I leave for work in the morning.  It will be ready for dh and dd when they get home from church.)
19. Wendy's chili (my homemade version)
20. Chicken royal
21. Leftover chili
22. Chicken casserole
23. Shake n bake pork (with my homemade version of the shake n bake mix)

29. Salmon patties
30. Curry chicken in the crock pot
