Menu Plan Monday






It worked. Last week's menu that is. Everyday I managed to stick to what I had planned. We ate at home and not out. Which I consider to be quite an accomplishment given the fact that we had an extra activity every single evening. Ugh! I'm hoping that this week is not a repeat performance. I even managed to take my lunch to work with me each day except Wednesday which was planned.


The Beefy One-Pot Dinner was a hit and one of the easiest meals I prepared. We were at the table and ready to eat in 30 minutes. That's fast. As I was making the menu for this week I decided it's probably time to rotate stock again; using what we have on hand. Basically, clean out the pantry and freezer.

I'm so glad menu plan Monday is working for you. It has been such a help for me. I used to try to menu plan, but it didn't always happen. Now I know I have to do it on Monday.
Spaghetti carbonara sounds yummy. I've never made it (just eaten the frozen diet dinner kind). Is it hard?
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by my blog.

The spaghetti carbonara is really easy and a family favorite. I'll post the recipe later this week.

Have a good one!
