Menu Planning Monday July 12/10

I missed last week menu planning but then we ended up with the hottest heat I think I have ever experienced. So it was okay since most of the food was macaroni or BBQ. This week I will actually try to stick with the menu.

I am going to ask for everyone's help though. My mother looks after our kids when we are working. I work 3 times a week in the evening and every second weekend. My mother used to make lots of different foods, usually not by a recipe. Since my father passed away 4.5 years ago she doesn't seem to be able to figure out a lot of things. I'm thinking its apprehension but I don't know. So what I am asking is for all the idea's that are quick, easy and budget friendly. Here are the things she has made without me prepping the meal before hand:
- spaghetti
- mac and tuna
- mac and cheese
- Sheppard's pie
- wraps with meat and cheese
- anything in a can
That's all I can think of at the moment. Any help would be great!

Now for my menu planning Monday!

Monday - Out at a friends cottage
Tuesday - hmm.. will have to get back to you on this
Wednesday - Egg salad Wraps/Sandwiches
Thursday - Hot dogs and pasta salad
Friday - Hamburger Pasta
Saturday - out for supper at the in laws :)
Sunday - Beef Stroganoff - $5 Dinners

Menu Planning

I used to menu plan every week or sometimes two weeks in advance, but I slowly fell out of planning, with so much going on at work. Now that I am blogging I would love to join all the other moms out there that do the Menu Planning Mondays with Laura at Organizing Junkie
Every Monday moms around the world post their menus for the week including recipes. It's great to know what you are making before the day so there is not last minute rushing or junk food going on the table. We have been eating pretty well the last couple of years. Most of our food is home cook and from scratch but when I don't have a plan I go for the quick and easy and it gets old fast. It also helps out a great deal when grocery shopping. You will always have what you need in the house when it comes time to cooking it.

Here is my first week of Menu Planning for Menu Planning Mondays:

Monday - Soup and fruit for dessert
Tuesday - Skillet Pasta & Beef Dinner from Meal Makeover Moms This is a new one for us. I plan to review it later on in the week.
Wednesday - Egg salad wraps
Thursday - Hot Dogs Pizza
Friday - Beef Stew Dad cooked Hot dogs and Sausages on the BBQ
Saturday - Dad cooks :)
Sunday - Tortellini Tomato Spinach soup Beef Stew from The Big Cook Cookbook
