Menu Planning for the Unorganized

I love glancing at posts where people have planned out what they are going to eat three meals a day for a week. I am just not that organized. I have to take it day by day. I decided to come up with my own unique way of menu planning. Every 3 - 4 weeks I make a list of what we can have for dinner that month. I usually come up with 12 different things. I then make out my Wal-Mart list and buy all the items I need at one time. This way I have lots to choose from at the start of the month. I also don't have to run out for last minute grocery items. Our sides are either mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, or rice. Our veggies are raw carrots, celery, broccoli or salad. The only cooked veggie we have is green beans. That is all I can get these folks to eat. I typically cook four nights a week. Then we have leftovers or something quick the other two nights. On Saturdays we usually go out to eat or order pizza.

Here is what we are eating this month:
1. Tater tot casserole - this is really good - not healthy I know.
2. Baked spaghetti
3. Chicken pie
4. Chicken wraps
5. Chicken salad
6. Chicken casserole with water chestnuts
7. Chili
8. Steak wraps
9. Hamburger steaks
10. Roast
11. Salmon
12. Flounder

  1. That sounds like a good plan. I have done a similar plan to that before. :)
