Anyways, I usually plan my menu and grocery shop on Thursdays but last Thursday we were busy. We went to the Stockshow because they were offering free general admission that day. The kids had a blast!
On Friday, we decided to stay home and scrape up something to eat despite being low on groceries. We had breakfast for dinner and ate sausage and egg tacos.
On Saturday, we took the kids to the park and we ordered pizza for dinner.
Sunday, we had leftover pizza.
Finally, Monday, is when I wrote out a menu and went grocery shopping!
Here is my haul:
- Water (not pictured)
- Dishwasher detergent
- Whole wheat bread
- Organic spring mix (salad)
- Organic baby blend (spinach mix)

Menu:

Thursday: bean soup with cornbread
The meals aren't set for a certain day. For example, I had wrote down spaghetti to be eaten on Wednesday and burgers for Monday (last night). But, hubby got home from work late last night and since spaghetti is fairly quick to cook we decided to have that last night and burgers another night.
Well, that's it! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Plus, I'm always looking for quick and easy dinners. If you have any please comment below!
I'm looking for quick meals !
ReplyDeleteCrockpot meals are easy to do and you don't really need to think about it.
ReplyDeleteI've done chicken breast on the bottom, cream of chicken soup, stuffing, then frozen green beans. I cook it on high for about 4hrs or until the chicken is fully cooked. Once the chicken is cooked I like to mix it all together then leave it cooking a little longer.
