Last week, I made Monday and Tuesday meals without any problems and then I just switched Wednesday and Thursday because the chicken was thawed and the beef wasn't. Luckily, my weeks have been going pretty well minus the defrost issues.  Friday is leftover night but I have been eating most of the leftovers for lunch so I might have to rethink the leftover night but we basically make something happen and use up things in the house and this week I have the crescent rolls to use up and some other things in the fridge so I made taco pizza for me and leftover fried rice for my husband.  I got to use up the roast beef on Saturday night.  I finally put the egg rolls into a meal on Sunday night which is great because I bought those awhile ago and totally forgot about them but we ended up with chicken sandwiches made from the Johnsville garlic chicken from the recent sale.

This week is a little mixed up because my parents are coming into town on Thursday so I am working on moving all meals around to make sure that I have meals that can feed all of us.  We also have a few things that are right around dinner time so we need some fast meals between all of different Fall activities.  I have a lot of cross through marks on this weeks plan but I have lots on hand to get it done with a new menu that both my parents like including a few ideas for lunches like soup, paninis, and more which I hope will get us through the 5 days.

I have a some things in the freezer to incorporate into next months menu plan already.  I can't believe that it is already time to think forward to next month but I have some cheese ravioli, meat ravioli, lasagna, boneless chicken, Barber Chicken, Meatballs, Brats and a few other things.  I know that I have enough for the month but we will see if there is enough variety to make it through without getting more proteins.  I laid out lots of meals for the month and currently have 8 more days to fill in to finish up the plan. 

I hope that you have a great week and enjoy a stress free dinner time with a plan in place!
