Menu Plan Monday 4/13

Pasta with sausage sauce and garlic bread
French Dip with mac and cheese
Grilled Chicken with rice
Chicken and Rice Casserole
Leftovers or Homemade Pizza
Grilled Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Chicken with tater tots
Chicken Fries or Chicken Wraps with homemade fries

Last week was pretty good.  We had pasta Monday which my son had Penne because that is the only pasta that he likes now and we had shells with Homemade Sausage sauce so that we could save the Penne for him.  It is nice to be going through a bunch of other pastas and clearing it out but I am hoping that my son is flexible to go back to spaghetti when we run out of the Penne because we have so many of them. 

Tuesday was Salsa Sloppy Joes with mac and cheese.  I haven't made my rolls in awhile because I ran out of vital wheat gluten so I tried to use my buttery yeast rolls that I make for Thanksgiving so that my husband would have rolls for his sandwiches but we went with the hamburger rolls from the store for dinner.  It was a little flashback to cafeteria style sloppy joes with the soft squishy roll that we don't normally have but it was super tasty and we both had two huge ones so we ate too much.

Wednesday was Grilled Chicken with white rice so we had Spiedies Chicken to make it different then last week. We also made a loaf of bread to make Cheesy Ranch Bacon Bread.  It was tasty but a little too tasty because we ate most of it.  Thursday was Pizza with leftovers.  We had three Wewalka pizza dough in the fridge so it is a super easy meal to get everyone fed and use up all the leftovers in the fridge.

We moved Rosemary Chicken to Friday with a last minute choice to go with potatoes and save egg noodles for the next time.  I cut up the potatoes for our meal and for hash browns for my son.  I also started prepping the french fries for Sunday dinner.  All of the potatoes were in the fridge and ready when dinner time came.

Saturday was baked potato soup which I made on Friday so we had the whole day to spend doing other things and I just had to put the soup back on in the crock pot.  Plus lots of leftovers for going forward.  We are going to use the last pack of bacon in it too and the last cream cheese from the freezer.

Sunday is Chicken Wraps and Chicken Fries with homemade fries and tater tots which is my son's favorite night of the week.  It was the end of the busy week but other then too many dishes, we had a good week.  I got all the meals on the table as planned with the addition of lots of desserts and breakfast treats including bagels, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookie bars, coffee cake, ranch pretzels, peasant bread, and rolls.

I moved the meals around on the menu for next week and we have a plan that I know that I can get on the table.  Hope you guys are having luck getting things at the grocery store and getting meals prepared with all the other things that we have going on.  Next week is the first week that we are going to have online learning with the school so we are going to put a little hold on the learning plan that we have been doing for the past month. Fingers crossed that the new plan works.
