Menu Plan Monday

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks because things have been a little crazy. My grandmother went into the hospital a little over 2 weeks ago and was in the stepdown unit which is similar to ICU but not as severe. We spent some time there with my grandmother and family. I started back to work the day before she was hospitalized. Then we had our service project with our small group last weekend and then drove to Memphis to host a couples shower for our friends who are getting married in September. Menu planning and even grocery shopping took a backseat with everything else that was going on the past 2 weeks. My grandmother is doing much better now, and our lives have calmed somewhat. I'm happy to be back in the routine this week. Here's what we'll be having for dinner this week.

Monday - Baked salmon with asparagus and salad

Tuesday - Tacos/ taco salad for small group

Wednesday - Pot roast with carrots and green beans

Thursday - Greek salad with grilled chicken

Friday - Date night

Saturday - Chicken florentine casserole

Sunday - Hamburger steak with squash and onions

Menu Plan Monday

I start back to work this week. We begin 2 weeks of instructional training for all teachers on Thursday. I have mixed emotions, excited to see everyone and to get ready for a great school year but sad to give up all the time at home and with my hubby. I'm choosing to have a good attitude about it though. I am so thankful for my job. This is the first job I've loved and the first job I've ever gone back to for another year. :) So this week, I've picked some pretty simple meals since I'll be getting back in the routine. I'm using all meats from my deep freezer and mostly ingredients that I already have on hand. I was able to get all our groceries this week for under $30 since we already have so much in our pantry and freezer. Here's what we'll be having this week. Remember to check out all the menu plans at orgjunkie.
