Weekly Menu Planner: 4.23.2013

Good thing I have this blog right? Looks like my last post was Sammys newborn photos. Guess what I have been doing since then? That's right! Photography. I feel like it's taken over my life.

One thing I haven't been doing is meal planning and our grocery bill was a whopping $100 last week! It is usually 50-60. So the hubs came down HARD on me. Told me I better find a new place to live if I don't straighten up my act. OK...he NEVER said that. In fact he didn't care. I seem to be the one crazed about going over my budget because it is a big fat fail in my book. Dan LOVES food, so if we are spending money on that it doesn't phase him. Now about those shoes I bought...kidding.

Anyways, back to meal planning I go. We just purchased forty pounds of chicken through this site. So needless to say a lot of my menu will be chicken related.

By the way, if you are interested in getting chicken, or other products from zaycon foods I highly recommend it. The food comes from a farm a few days before and it is delivered to a site close to where you live where you go pick it up. The chicken we got, is boneless, skinless breasts from chemical, antibiotic free, free-range chickens. We paid $1.69/lb. Not back right? So check it out. Click here for more info.

Back to the menu:

Tuesday: Kielbasa and Fried Potatoes


Although I plan to start making my menus a little more healthy, this is an easy go to meal for us and pretty self explanatory.

Wednesday: Fix it and Forget it Chicken Crockpot Fajitas


Thursday: Turkey Burgers

 We bought a new grill! Hence the yummy burgers on the menu.

Friday: Hearty Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash and Quinoa


Saturday: Homemade Pizza!


Sunday: Grilled Chicken Spinach Pesto Pasta


Monday: Chicken Pot Pie Casserole



My friend Becky sent me this recipe and I am so excited to try it out!
