As always, THANK YOU for sharing your menus! Keep it coming!
For the second month in a row I have come in under my goal for our grocery budget. I told my husband I am waiting for a meat sale, which is true, but that means we are having some ‘regulars’ to the menu more. At first, a few of these recipes were difficult. After a while, though, I know what to expect an how to do it more efficiently.
Lunch:
1. Eat out
2. Sticky Blackberry Barbecued Ribs, potato salad, coleslaw
3. picnic – sandwiches, applesauce, fruit, chips
4. Beef Bourguignon, flat bread
5. Chinese Style BBQ Pork, rice, veggies
6. Pizza
7. Minute Steak
Supper:
1. Lentils with Bulgar Wheat and Caramelized Onions: Moujadara with Burghul
2. Spaghetti
3. Herbed Lentils with Spinach and Tomatoes, rice
4. Chicken Piccata, angle hair pasta
5. Lebanese Meat-stuffed Pita
6. Leftovers
7. Pulled-pork Egg Rolls (use leftover chinese style BBQ pork)
congrats on the budget success – that is great!!
Sunday: Hubby birthday dinner: stuffed shells, bruschetta on ciabatta, artichokes, ice cream with candy mix-ins
Monday: memorial day get together – bbq ribs, corn on the cob, salad, lemon cake with ice cream
Tuesday: grilled flank steak w/ chimichurri, roasted potatoes and zucchini
Wednesday: flat bread pizzas
Thursday: maple mustard chicken thighs, rice, green beans
Friday: breakfast for dinner – TBD
