Menu Plan Monday!

Why is Menu Planning so important, and how does it affect a grocery budget? If you've been asking yourself what the big deal is about menu planning when I share my menu with you each week, be sure to go visit A Few Short Cuts to check out the guest post I did on menu planning a while back. I think it will help shed some light on this subject for you...

Well, the weekend is over, and Monday has once again rolled around. What a bummer! Planning my weekly menu always cheers me up a bit. Maybe it's because I love planning, or maybe it's because I love cooking. Who knows? ;)

Here's what I have planned for this week:

Monday - Homemade pitas stuffed with veggies/lettuce (leftover meal from last week's menu)

Tuesday - Pasta With Mushroom Garlic Sauce

Wednesday - Southwestern Quinoa Casserole

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

Friday - Fish and Various Veggie Sides (haven't quite decided yet)

Saturday - Morningstar Black Bean Burgers (with these homemade buns), Sweet Potato Fries, & Side Salad

Sunday - Baked Pasta Casserole

We do cook Vegetarian (although we eat seafood from time to time). To read more about how this affects our budget, check this post out.
