Menu Plan Monday on Saturday???

August 19th – August 25th

Is Back To School time crazy or what???   My son hasn’t even gone back to school and my house is falling apart.  So instead of a menu plan, this is more of a “here’s what we have eaten so far this week”.   Some nights we have been lucky to eat.   Do you ever have a week like that??

I returned on Sunday, August 18th from a week at my parent’s house in South Dakota!  I came home unpacked one of three bags and went to bed.   Returned to work the next morning right away.  I had not made it to the grocery store and no menu made for the week.  I had brought home a bunch of sausage from South Dakota so we managed on Monday.  Tuesday night after work, I headed to Aldi with my menu in hand.  Tuesday was the only evening I had available.  Wednesday was Back To School Orientation and Thursday I was suppose to be at book group.  Instead I was home SICK!  What a week!

BTW- School starts after Labor Day here and I have yet to buy School Supplies.  Anyone that knows me will be in shock over that, considering I already have some Christmas presents bought!

BTW – soccer started again so life is CRAZY!

OUR MENU

Monday – Sausage, Red Cabbage, Pesto Orzo

Tuesday – Pizza

Wednesday – Bacon Spinach Caesar Wraps (Emeals 494)

Thursday – (book Group) Chicken Salad Sandwiches and Fruit

Friday – Baked Quesadillas and Salad (Emeals -485)

Saturday – Spaghetti Pie / Salad

Sunday – Spiral Ham in Crockpot–  Pesto Rice and Broccoli
