Menu Plan Monday: March 21st, 2011!

This week's menu is still part of our cleaning out the freezer self-challenge.  We are making progress, but not nearly as fast as I would like.  We also have a viewing and funeral we need to attend down on the eastern shore the middle of this week.  So, our menu will be pretty basic, which is the way I like it :-)  Maybe we will even get to do some grilling again - come on Spring!  Here's what's cooking this week...

Breakfasts: Cold Cereal, Hot Cereal, and Fruit Smoothies with ground flax seed added in

Lunches: Leftovers, or Tuna or Deli Meat Sandwiches with Chips, or Salad

Dinners:
Sunday - Dinner at Bob Evans with Joe's Grandfather
Monday - Taco Salad (with pre-cooked Taco meat from the freezer)
Tuesday - Orange Chicken (Pre-packaged bag meal from ALDI), Egg Rolls (extras from 2 weeks ago, frozen), and Jasmine Rice
Wednesday - Out (we will be coming home from the funeral)
Thursday -Grilled Hot dogs with Pasta Salad or Mac and Cheese and Salad
Friday - Homemade Pizza with Alfredo Sauce and Chicken with Salad
Saturday - Chicken and Asparagus Pasta with Salad and Garlic Bread
