Monday Menu Plans ~ I Never Get Tired Of Our Chicken Soup

Boy time is just flying by. Spring is in the air and we are finally starting to get a bit warmer. Today was fifty degrees with the snow banks starting to melt into dirty gravel piles.

This picture is just a week ago last Saturday. Snow and more yukky snow.

Times are busy with going to auctions and church doings. We are cooking our chicken soup tonight and that will take care of us for a few meals. 

Wednesday we will go to church for a soup dinner and we will make a pot of pea soup to bring and share with others.

Lots of soup this week I guess. Fast easy and economical meals.  And with the smell of baking chicken tonight I am getting a craving for our chicken and rice dinner. May have to make that Friday or Saturday night.

Thanks for stopping by.. lets keep saving together and lets keep saving together. Grace

MONDAY MENU PLAN ~ LETS MAKE SOME SPAGHETTI SAUCE

It is Monday and time to plan what we will eat this next week.  I like to make one item on Tuesday night and we can have left overs during the week.

Last week we had our Cheesy Lasagna Soup and ate it a couple of times.

Tomorrow night we will make our home made Spaghetti Sauce and that will be good for a couple of nights.

The rest of the week will be sandwiches at the auctions and either meatballs with gravy and potatoes or my  home made sloppy joes or hubby's rich burgers.

Hope that your menu plan is tasty as I know ours will be.  Grace

MONDAY MENU PLAN What's For Dinner Saving Money Eating At Home

With going to the local auctions twice a week I want simple easy dinners for hubby and me.
This week menu is
Monday auction night we will pack a tuna fish sandwich and a few potato chips to eat at auction. Otherwise we get hungry and spend money on food there.
Tuesday Calico bean hot dish and mash potatoes. Perfect for a cold night at home.

Wednesday home made pea soup with hot bread
Thursday auction night egg salad sandwiches and chips
Friday left overs
Saturday Frozen pizza night
Sunday Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches

MONDAY MENU PLAN 1/2/11 to 1/8/11 Spaghetti and Home made Chicken Soup planned

The fact is we normally go to the auction house 2 to 3 times a week to hunt for items to buy and sell. Yes you can call us pickers. We have easy meals those days or eat left overs when we come home.

This week I plan to make Spaghetti and home made sauce or just use frozen meat balls depending on how I feel. We are suffering from light colds and while not feeling totally horrible just do not feel perfect.
That is the reason another night will be home made chicken soup with frozen vegetables and some pasta from the cupboard.
If my cold gets better I hope to pick a new recipe from one of my cook books. If so will share that with you then.

Take a peek at my recipes on the side bar. There is some good tasting recipes there. Thanks for stopping by Grace

Monday Menu Plan 12/5/11

Monday Menu Plan helps me plan my week and keeps costs down by using what I have in the house or what may be on sale at the supermarket.

Wednesday Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup
Thursday auction night again'
Friday with the weather getting colder and colder I am leaning towards a big pot of our home made chili with crackers for me and peanut butter sandwiches for hubby
Saturday up in the air with what is on the menu and Sunday left over chili

Thanks for stopping by.. lets keep saving together.. Grace

inexpensive easy week for us and with Christmas getting closer it probably will stay the same through the holidays.

MEAL PLANNING FOR THE WEEK 7/24/11

Hello every one, hope that your day is going great. We are having a much cooler day and I am spending it unpacking and looking out the window at our beautiful Lake Superior.
Sunday afternoon and time for me to plan our meals for the next week. With the move money is extra tight and just waiting to see when landlord will meet with us for the walk through so we can get our rent deposit back from old apartment. That money needs to go back into the savings account for upcoming bills. Will be happy when it is sitting there. There is always the fear she will see something wrong and not give it all to us. We also paid a non refundable pet deposit of $300. We moved in to that apartment the beginning of last August and our darling Spooky the cat passed away beginning of October. I shared this with her when giving noticed and asked her to consider returning some of the pet deposit. Time will tell. On top of all that we are waiting to see if we will be charged cancellation charge at the past cable company. We can not have a dish here since there is no balcony or patio to put it on. If we are not charged that fee we will be ahead $250. That would be a great help for sure.
So with all of this going on we will have a frugal meal week using what is in the house and buying no more groceries than necessary.
Tonight ( Sunday ) will be left over hamburger warmed up in brown gravy with a handful of mixed vegetables added. This will be served over mash potatoes
Monday we will go to the auction so will have tuna salad with toast when we return home

Tuesday tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches and potato chips
Wednesday Fried chicken, potato salad and beans
Thursday left over tuna salad since we will probably go to another auction that night
Friday Pizza night at home will use a frozen pizza that I bought last week
Saturday left overs
With this menu I will have to buy very little food. We need to pick up the fried chicken, potato salad and some beans. Other than that we should be fairly good for the week.
I will be sharing this over at Monday Menu.

Time to plan out our menu for the next week. Monday will be the 4th of July and we will are going to a church picnic on a lake. We have only been going to this church for a few weeks and do not know any one real well except of course my step son and his family. Should be a good time to get to know some of them a little better. We are planning to move to another apartment by the end of the month and if financialy possible will move in about  week early. I am busy packing up what I want to keep and parting with items I no longer want or need. We have had a garage sale and made over $300.
Sold some items that were vintage that I did not want to deal with $10.00
We have been buying items at garage sales and reselling at the weekly auction
Selling items on eBay that I bought at the auction ( book lots of cook books and art books ) Some are up for auction and will close tonight and some are fixed prices and will hopefully sell soon.
All and all we are busy and moving fast most days to pack, sort and make money that is needed. This weeks menu will be very simple and easy as we continue with packing for our move.

Menu Plan Monday 4/4/11

Hard to believe another week has crept by. The weather here in northern Minnesota is up and down. It can be 45, sunny and just so beautiful as it was on Saturday as we were out hunting for treasures at estate sales and community sales. Was a great day full of treasures to be found.

Next day snowy, windy and roads that have not been plowed enough to head into the woods to go to church. We went so far, turned around and headed to McDonald's for coffee and to read the newspaper.

Today once again a nice day, cool, cloudy but no snow so off on errands and visiting used bookstores.

I want this weeks meal plan to be easy since I want to be out two nights. Tuesday night is a genealogist meeting and I want to check out what they have to offer and then on Wednesday night going to a lecture by William Powers.  He lived for awhile in a 12 by 12 cabin off the grid. Living with less. Should be interesting. I just bought his book twelve by twelve a one room cabin off the grid and beyond the American dream. Hope to have part of it read before Wednesday night and to have the author sign it for me.

Now for my weekly menu

Hot dogs Macaroni and Cheese and baked beans
Dinner at McDonalds before the genealogy class
Grilled cheese and tomato soup with chips
Spaghetti with meat ball in tomato sauce
Meat balls in gravy with mash potatoes and green beans
left overs
to be decided
I will be letting you know more about my class and lecture and how it went.

This week is going to be a little different in our lives. We have offered to stay at a family member's house for a day or two and Kitty Cat sit.

All we can do is wait and watch the weather. My plans for our meals will be fairly simple since we will not be in our own kitchen.

Tonight will be grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup

The rest of the week will be the following

Rich Burger Sloppy Joes , baked beans and chips

Left over Sloppy Joes and baked beans

Macaroni and Cheese and warm bread

Chili with crackers

Crock pot roast beef with potatoes and carrots
