Meal Plan Monday

Posted in Homemaking

I do my meal plans a little different than many. I prefer to have a list of items (usually on a dry erase board in the kitchen) that we will have to eat for supper during the week. Each day, I pick out what we’ll be having from that list based upon what is going on that day. Here’s the menu for this week: 1. Baked Mac ‘n Cheese 2. Grilled Cheese and Soup 3. Spaghetti 4. Steak with veggies 5. Loaded Potatoes 6. Tacos 7. Cheesesteaks
