Meal Plan Monday

So, I've decided that with Christmas, Mattie's birthday, etc. coming up over the next few months, I am going to try and reduce my grocery budget by $100 each month--yikes! Luckily, I've done a decent job of stockpiling, so I was able to do a pretty good job of limiting my grocery spending this weekend. Here's our plan for the week...

Sunday: Slow cooker chicken and rice -- this was AMAZING! All of the flavors blended so perfectly together, making a wonderfully easy weekend-night dinner

Monday: Baked Ziti --I have tons of pasta and cheese in my stockpile, so I didn't even have to run to the store for any of these ingredients. By the way--Passionate Penny Pincher is my favorite blog for dinner ideas. She posts many of her recipes around the current Publix ad, which is the best store in the world for great deals!

Tuesday: Breakfast for dinner--pancakes!

Wednesday: church night

Thursday: BBQ pork sandwiches--place a picnic roast in your crockpot before you leave for work. When you get home in the evening, simply shred it from the bone, throw in some BBQ sauce and voila--BBQ pork sandwiches! Easy and SO delicious!

Friday: Pizza night

Saturday: We are going to a birthday party for a great friend of ours

Have a great week!
