I have talked before about our days of the week menu plans before:
I have revamped it a bit to fit our needs for this new year. I have not made any significant changes as this plan seems to work fairly well for us.
Menu Plan
Meaty Monday
Tortilla Tuesday
Casserole/BFD Wednesday
Pasta/Italian Thursday
Freezer/Pizza Friday
Bar/BBQ Saturday
Soup/Sandwich/Salad Sunday
Having a daily assigned theme helps me complete my monthly meal plan quickly. During the week we can switch things around if it better suits our needs for that week or we can skip the planned meal and replace it with something else. Having the monthly plan helps me to prepare and have the necessary ingredients for the meals.
Hubs and I are needing to make some changes in our diet due to some health issues. But with this plan I can easily make a simple protein, potato or rice, veggie and salad meal for us as an alternative to what is scheduled.
Example:
Pizza or calzone night might be to high in sodium for us so I would make frozen fish, with steamed veggies and potatoes for us. I am also trying to have a lettuce salad available for each meal for us.
Meal planning is a must for our family, and the little effort it takes to plan ahead pays off tremendously.
Enjoy~
