So I am always trying to figure out what to make for dinner. I have found that I spend the least amount of money and actually follow through with dinner when I have a plan for all my meals for the week. I often feel like I get into a cooking rut and make the same 'ol things over and over. So, I am going to try ot blog my weekly meal plan in hopes that my bloggin buddies will do the same and I can get some variety in meals! So here goes…
Monday - FHE (my wonderful mom cooks for all of us - how lucky are we? One less day I have to plan for. She made Sloppy Joes with corn on the cob)
Tuesday - Brats with chips and fruit
Brad grilled the brats, opened the bag of BBQ kettle chips from Fresh 'n Easy, washed grapes, etc. for fruit
Wednesday - Lori's chicken Vodoo Salad (had great reviews from Corey, can't wait to make it.)
Check out Lori & Earl's blog for the recipe
Thursday - Sweet & sour meatballs (never have tried it, but they sound good)
Go to sugardoodle.net/melsrecipes
Friday - Hula stir fry (again, a first time meal, I'll let you know the out come)
Go to sugardoodle.net/melsrecipes
Saturday - Navajo tacos (Sara's concoction, last time I made them -yum!)
Basically, a twist on traditional tacos. Instead of using shells, make scones from Rhodes rolls. I top with some homemade guac., salsa and sour cream. We scarffed them down last time.
Sunday - Day of rest! Dinner at Brad's mom. I usually try to bring dessert.
Okay, now everyone post your meal plan so I have something to cook next week!
(I've already done the Taco Bell, McDonald's and Wendy's plan for the past month while Brad's had classes at UNLV!)

Mandy you are so funny. However, I do the same thing. I plan for 2 weeks..use that to make my grocery list and away I go! You have got to try some of my Racheal Ray recipes (especially the 30 minute or less ones). I will get you copies of some of the best ones.
Mandy,
Thanks so much for the ideas. I struggle to plan ahead, also. I think I am going to try some of the ones you are trying, but I will try to come up with new ones and post my meal plan.
Your meal plan sounds good! I need to start planning out our meals better...I usually walk in the grocery store blind, and come home w/ only half of the ingredients I need for everything:) So then we end up at Don Antonios:) I'll post some of my ideas on my blog!
I love Sunday dinners because its a freebee at my mom's house too! I actually kinda get out of cooking because I get home kinda late, we usually just snack on whatever. But a great thing I've gotten involved in is a recipe club. A few girls in my ward get together once a month. The host picks the theme (that can get creative and fun!) and we all bring a dish that fits the particular theme. Not only is it a great way to taste out and try new recipes but also its a night out eating dinner with girlfriends!
