Weekly Menu Plan 05/16/13 – Baked Pork Chops, Asian Chicken and Taco Pasta!

I am not in the mood for cooking this week and I am not sure why? I will be making it as easy as possible!

Here are some free printables if you need them:

• Shopping List – Feel free to print this off and keep it on the fridge to jot down those items that you need to pick up from the store!
• Favorite Recipes – This form will help you make a list of the top recipes that you make for your family.
• Freezer Inventory – Take stock of what you have already so that you don’t overbuy. But also so that you know what you are looking for.
• Pantry Inventory – Keep track of what you have on hand. Then make a plan on what you are using a lot of and stock up on that.
• Monthly Menu Planner – By planning a monthly menu you can better follow the sales and know what you need to buy.

Start with the protein part of your meal when you are planning a meal, because that is where you will be spending the most of your money!

::THURSDAY:: – Caesar Salad with Chicken – I posted our “recipe” that we make all the time, like every night almost! I am just going to add some chicken from a rotisserie chicken I bought last night.

::Saturday:: – Taco Pasta – So easy and quick! It is our anniversary and so hopefully we will be eating out and this is what the kids can have!

::Sunday:: – Sweet and Sour Drumettes – This is a great chicken recipe using chicken drumettes. Note: you may double the sauce, if you have a lot of chicken pieces or like extra sauce.
