Menu Plan Monday for Jan. 5th

Now that school is starting again I am slowly getting used to the idea that Christmas break is over and I need to plan my meals. Here is our plan for this week. Remember I usually stick to a $40/week budget for all food included breakfast, lunch and dinner. Be sure to check our local grocery deals here, here and here!

Sunday: Mac and Cheese
Monday: Sloppy Joes/oven fries/baked beans
Tuesday: Sausage and egg scramble over potatoes/sweet rolls/apple slices
Wednesday: Spinach bacon pasta toss/garden salad
Thursday: Chicken stir fry over rice/orange slices
Friday: Pizza as always!
Saturday: I never know:)

I will have the recipe and price breakdown to my version of chicken stir fry up Tuesday. See you then!
