I thought last week was going to be a tough week to menu plan because of having to make take-along recipes to VBS all week. Compared to this week, it was a cinch! Here we are at the end of the month again and my budget is tight, but this week is going to be a busy one so, again, I have had to be kind of creative and resourceful…

Thankfully, one thing that is making it a tiny bit easier is that my mother-in-law brought me a 5lb tub of potato salad leftover from last week’s family reunion. I already had some hot dogs in the fridge, so that will set me up for lunches a few times this week for sure. (Small issue: I am the only one in the house that will eat potato salad.)

Here goes nothin’!

Breakfasts:

• Me: Eggs, Cereal, Pancakes
• Hubbo: Cereal, Pancakes
• Hosanna: Eggs, Veggie Sausage, Pancakes

Lunches:

• Me: PB&J, Burritos, Hot Dogs
• Hubbo: Frozen meals
• Hosanna: Chicken, Peanut Butter, Hot Dogs

Snacks and Sides: Salads, fruit, yogurt, corn on the cob, potato salad

Dinners:

• Monday: Drive-thru (Hubbo and I both have meetings tonight, so it’s time to keep it simple)
• Tuesday: Chicken Sandwiches (Time to crock-pot a bunch of chicken to shred!)
• Wednesday: Handheld Beef & Bean Burritos from last week’s freezer batch (we’ll be out again, so this is a take-along meal)
• Thursday: Chicken Pot Pie
• Friday: Grilled Pesto Chicken & Roasted Bell Pepper Sandwiches (for company)
• Saturday: Cookout at Church
• Sunday: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Keeping it super-simple, but I am already exhausted just thinking about it. This reminds me of last week’s memory verse: “let us not lose heart… we will reap if we do not grow weary!”
