Menu Plan Monday

stealing this name from another "Budget" blog I found on www.frugalgirl.com

Some ideas I am trying to work on are eating leftovers & creating multiple meals from similar ingredients. For example, tuesday's sloppy joes becoming chili on thursday. The chicken from monday is used on Wed for pot pie. The chopped up veggies are used for sloppy joes & chicken pot pie. This will help us save time & money.

Monday:
Chicken Spaghetti (using leftover pasta from last night's quick chicken parm) & broccoli

Tuesday:
Weight Watchers sloppy joes (these call for lots of veggies & less meat, so cheap & healthy) on whole wheat hamburger buns, salad, & fruit

Wednesday:
Semi homemade chicken pot pie (I will not be making the pie crust, using Pioneer woman recipe, just on the lighter side)+ 1 for the freezer for next week when I work. The hubby requested this one when I asked what he wanted for dinner.

Thursday:
left over ww sloppy joes turned into chili (will be caring for a lil one so no desire to cook)

Friday:
looking for something fun & frugal to make that day
