Right now she only has 35 bloggers on the map and I KNOW there are many of you out there who blog. So if you want to be included please read submission guidelines along with the form here.

Menu Plan Monday

Hello! Below you will find my $50/week menu plan...as you can see we don't tire of homemade pizza! And with the INCREDIBLE cheese deal at Hy-Vee this past weekend I have enough for a while:) I am also proud to say that once again this week I have what I need for my meals. The only thing I needed for these was the biscuits to go with my gravy... which I picked up cheaply at Dillons because of the Pillsbury deal going! The rest of what I have bought this week has been cheese of course and a few other necessities like milk, eggs and produce.

Saturday: Pizza and raw veggies with dip
Sunday: Cheeseburger rolls x 3 (We sharing some with a family that just had a sweet little girl and then eating the rest this week for lunches.. YUM!) with broccoli and rice
Monday: Dinner at my parents for my dad's b-day
Tuesday: Salsa Chicken over rice (we didn't make it to this last week) with apple slices
Wednesday: Red beans and rice with bread
Thursday: Breakfast for dinner: biscuits and gravy with hash browns and fruit
Friday: Probably pizza:)

I'll post how I do Red Beans and Rice tomorrow... see you then!
