Menu Monday

Last week didn't go as planned, but I should plan for that any week!

Things I didn't do:

• make granola bars
• make burritos for the freezer
• blanch and freeze carrots
• eat with friends on Friday - we just ate leftovers instead
• cook on Sunday - we went out for wings
• make icecream
• make buns
• make dog treats
• make peanut butter
• replant the peas - though I did rip out the dying ones
• work on the berry patches

Things I did differently:

• made tortellini on Wednesday, not Thursday
• made chicken Enchiladas on Thursday
• spent Saturday in the basement of my shed cleaning it out (more on that later!) since it was supposed to rain...it didnt.
• painted the fence on Sunday instead. But it is done, woohoo!!

Things that went right:

• Monday, Tuesday and Saturday meal plans
• the fence DID get painted, did I mention that yet?
• made a very yummy chocolate zucchini bread. I will definitely be making this again, maybe in a muffin form for portability. It's very good with a little cream cheese, which is what contributed to the next item
• managed to only spend like $7 on groceries (cream cheese for bread, dip for all the carrots, and 2-liter of Diet Dr. Pepper in a moment of weakness!)
• blanched and froze the broccoli, which is good since that won't last like the carrots will
• soaked and dried the oats for the bars
• I won TWO different giveaways on blogland this past week. Which is awesome. I will definitely be writing about them both when I get the goodies!

Anyway, onward and upward. This Week's menu is as follows:

• Monday - beef stew. It was supposed to be in the crockpot already, but since I didn't get up until almost 7:30 this morning, it didn't happen. I will start it on the stove before volleyball tonight, and then eat when I get home!
• Tuesday - Breakfast! Sourdough waffles and bacon. I plan on making extra waffles for the freezer. I also hope to get some beef enchiladas made for the freezer. Hubby really like the chicken ones, but thinks beef will be even better. Better than the burritos.
• Wednesday - Chicken stew in the crockpot. I'm making a large batch, and the leftovers will go to make some pasty-type things for the freezer.
• Thursday - Chicken nuggets with...probably broccoli since we have a bunch. Maybe some corn-on-the-cob if I get to the farm stand! I will finally have some money in the budget for grocery shopping, so this will happen today. I'm pretty excited! We have a local butcher I have yet to get to and I want to go on my lunch break, then the farm stand, and then the grocery store for a few other essentials...like light bulbs!
• Friday - still up in the air again this week. I will plan on grilling out. Burgers and corn. We'll see.
• Saturday - Busy, busy day of cookouts, etc. Nothing planned.
• Sunday - pizza! My to-do list for Sunday consists of everything on the not done list above :)

That's my menu for this week. Check out more menu's at The Organizing Junkie.
