What's for Dinner: This Week's Menu

The son is in a terrible state right now, so this week is a really "tentative" menu plan until grocery pick up at the end of the week (I broke down and am buying a few items to make some new dishes with the fish we got).  But, at this point in my budget, I need some type of plan or we are going to be getting take out near constantly, which we can't afford.

So, let's get to the menu for this week (after Friday, the menu will probably change, so I might update it later).

Menu for the Week 5/3 - 5/9

Monday:  Leftovers 
Tuesday:  Smothered Pork Chops (crock pot), rice, green beans 
Wednesday:  Baked chicken (balsamic honey, from freezer), rice, corn 
Thursday:  Oven fried breaded chicken (home made “Shake and Bake”), mashed potatoes, hot honey carrots 
Friday:  Pizza Night (already have par baked pizza crusts in the freezer for an easy dinner) 
Saturday:  Asian Glazed Salmon, leftover rice (we always have some), salad.
Sunday:  Crock pot pork roast with potatoes and carrots.  Home made bread.

 And there you go folks.  My menu plan for this week (even more tentative than normal).

Enjoy!

  4. Thanks for linking to the Salmon recipe. I am supposed to be eating fish and am planning on getting frozen salmon from Costco tomorrow. I will definitely try this recipe out.
    I hope you have a good Mother’s Day and know you are doing a great job with your kids.
