Weekly Plan

This is a very busy week for our family, but I have an important goal: no pulling from the freezer or pantry (and of course doing take out or buying more groceries are a no-no this month!) .... I want to finish using up what we have on hand, but my more immediate goal is finishing up what is in the fridge/perishable. 

I'd like to just about empty it out.  Why?  Well, practically it will make it easier to deep clean it.  But more importantly, we are moving to whole, traditional foods as a family.  We have already chosen to throw away or give away some foods (the ones that had ingredients we have discovered allergies or intolerance to), but there are some we have kept that aren't so bad for us because we're also very frugal folks.  But I want to start the month of February with a clean slate for our new lifestyle.  We've seen huge differences already (read about them here and here) ... and I can't wait to see what happens when we're all on board with all of our food.

So my menu might not be all that exciting to you, but I'm very excited to see what a difference it's made by week's end!

Breakfasts will remain eggs, muffins, or oatmeal.

Lunches will remain ham and cheese sandwiches or pasta, with either veggies or fruit.

Dinners will be:
  • Monday: BBQ Nachos Supreme (in honor of my friend Heather!): Chips baked with BBQ sauce, taco meat, cheese and then topped with lettuce, sour cream, jalapenos, and salsa (all as desired)
  • Tuesday: Dinner at a friend's home
  • Wednesday:  Grilled Cheese, tomato, and bacon with side salad and oven baked fries
  • Thursday:  Loaded baked potato and salad
  • Friday: Quiche and side salad
  • Saturday:  Leftovers ??  {It'll be a whatever is left in the fridge night!}
What are you doing this week?  Anyone else join in on the pantry challenge and doing some major clean out?  Our big success is that our hallway pantry is so empty we were able to use it for storage!!!  WOW :)  I hope you all have a great week and that you enjoy dinners with your family.  The best part -to me- about the plan is that it allows me to enjoy meal time at the table with all of the family ... together.
