Menu Plan Monday!

This week is pretty simple for us. I have quite a few leftover meals that I left for my husband last week while I was out of town...that he never ended up eating. (He snacked instead. Haha!)

I didn't have to buy anything at the store this week for my meals. I planned them completely around what I have on hand. That will definitely help us stay under budget!

Here's what I have planned for this week:

Monday - Fried Pasta with melted cheese (our favorite dinner...it holds memories from back in the day when we dated and I couldn't cook, so this is what I would make us when we had dinner together at my mom's house!)

Tuesday - Roasted Vegetable and Mashed Potato Enchiladas

Wednesday - Dinner with family (we do this every week)

Thursday - Sister and grandma's birthday dinner out

Friday - Potato Cheddar Soup with homemade bread

Saturday - Egg salad sandwiches, celery with cream cheese, and carrots with veggie dip

Sunday - Butternut Squash Pasta, Side Veggies, Sweet Potatoes, and Salad

Yes, we cook Vegetarian (we do eat seafood, though)...to answer some of the questions I have received recently about our menu-planning. I am planning on doing a Q & A post about how cooking vegetarian changed my grocery budget. Stay tuned for that very soon! You might be surprised what you hear...

As always, feel free to e-mail me if there is a recipe you would like that does not have a link. Also, I tweak the recipes quite a bit from the original. Feel free to e-mail me about that as well, if you have any questions about how I change each recipe to make it a little better (in my opinion)! =)
