LUNCH

Usually leftovers, sandwiches, or I'll fix us soup.   I have made up extra sloppy joe mix for this month though and we'll have some sloppy joes.  Oldest dd made up Five Way Beef Mix (which makes a great soup starter and is used for stew, soup, pot pie, and a casserole).

I did splurge a little this month and bought some breaded chicken nuggets and chicken strips for a treat at lunch for us.  I sometimes by breaded fish fillets or fish sticks as a treat for the children for lunch.

Thurs.           Casserole
Friday           Family Decision (could be anything)
Saturday       Pizza night  (homemade as we usually make two 14" or 16” pizzas and it all gets ate)
Sunday         Chicken

 

Supper for this week is:

Monday        Mexican Night

Tuesday        Lasagna, salad, peach cobbler for dessert

Wednesday   Leftovers, Soup, Salad, or Sandwiches (Wed. nights are hectic trying to eat, get out of the house and to church on time)

Thursday           Ham, glazed carrots, mashed taters, green beans, rolls, blackberry cobbler... unless dh changes plans and takes me out to eat

Friday           Vegetable-Cheese Casserole (uses Five Way Beef Mix)... switched Thursday and Friday meal  since Thursday is Valentine's Day and I wanted something special for that day for my family
