What's for Dinner: This Week's Menu

I was hoping to share some frugal things I did this week, but my week got derailed by the court scheduling to do a guardianship interview this weekend with us,  So, instead of doing mending and things, I've been working on deep cleaning the whole house from top to bottom so that we can, hopefully, put a good foot forward.  Alvah's kind of unstable the last few days, so it won't be our best foot...but hopefully we'll do alright.  My anxiety is eating my stomach lining, so I hope it goes well.  

So, instead of sharing frugal things that happened (I'll, once again, save that for Monday), I figured I'd instead share our menu for this week.  

It was grocery shopping week this week.  We went and got groceries yesterday, so I have a good idea of what I have in the house now (I tend to wait on grocery week until I know if I'm going to get what I ordered or not before I think on things too hard) and that makes it easier.

So, let's get to it, shall we?

Menu Plan for Week of 4/23/26 -- 4/29/26

Thursday:  Home made chicken strips with honey mustard dressing (I just do equal parts honey and mustard and do it that way), salad.

Friday:  Teriyaki chicken burgers (from freezer that I have made up) on home made bread, chips (bought a bag of plain potato chips on sale).

Saturday:  Ham, cheese and spinach quiche (from freezer).  Salad.

Sunday:  Chicken fried steak (using cube steaks from the freezer), mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans.

Monday:  Pizza night (daughter works that day, so it's always nice to give her something she really enjoys for dinner)

Tuesday:  Chimichurri Chicken (I just mixed up the sauce, poured it over chicken thighs and froze the chicken to bake later.  It comes out really good...great way to use up cilantro that I have left over from like Pad Thai night or something without anything going to waste), corn (from freezer), bread/rolls/something starchy.

Wednesday:  Creamy sausage, gnocchi and spinach soup.  This is using up a big bag of frozen spinach that the store subbed for frozen onions one day...no idea...and some of the sausage I found in the freezer that needs to be used up. 

And there you go folks.  Our basic dinner menu for this week.  I am hoping to get some stuff done on Sunday that I can share (I am cutting my grocery budget by 1/3, basically, this pay period and next to make a 500.00+ radiology bill that came in the mail, so meal planning and meal prep is a must right now), but this is the start for my weekly plan.

You all planning on anything good for dinner this week?  I'm always looking for inspiration, so feel free to share!

Enjoy!
