One of the best way to control your grocery budget is to plan ahead. Put together a basic list to draw from -- dishes your family likes, are budget friendly, and take advantage of items on sale. This week, I have meetings two nights, so I want to make sure those nights are easy! I have some great veggies from the Farmer's Market that I want to use early on in the week. In addition, make sure you've got at least one extra meal you can pull together with pantry and/or freezer items if your week changes (happens a lot around here!)
Here's my plan for this week:
Monday: Roasted veggies (beets, butternut squash, onion) and pulled pork sandwiches
Tuesday: Chicken and cauliflower curry
Wednesday: Spaghetti, meatballs, french bread (homemade, in freezer)
Thursday: Bean and Cheese Burritos (make a big pot of refried beans in the crockpot) with salad
Friday: Homemade pizza
Saturday: Leftovers or Chili with cornbread
Sunday: Broccoli Soup
Perfect menu for our wet and rainy weather this week!
