Menu for the week

About a year ago I tried to figure out ways that we could save money without me joining the coupon craze. I do not have the patience to cut coupons and try to plan a meal around what is on sale that week (I do admire anyone who does this!). My answer was to start by planning our meals each week. Before I would call Mr J before I left work, we had the 5 minute "what do you want for dinner" conversation and it ended up with a daily grocery bill of about $50. That adds up really quickly. Even though I do not cut coupons, I do check the cabinets for items that I already have to help save. This has worked out great for our family and I thought I would share my weekly menus with you to help give you some inspiration for your weekly meals (if you need it). Menus are planned from Saturday to Thursday. Fridays are our "free nights". :) Many of these recipes are new to us so I can not guarantee the taste. :)

This Week's Menu
Saturday Night- Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
Sunday Lunch- Chicken Stir Fry Wraps
Sunday Night- Chicken Coconut Curry
Monday Night- Steak Fajitas- Have fun with this. We just marinade flank steak in different seasonings each time, a little mixed veggies and some tortillas.
Tuesday Night- Honey Chicken
Wednesday Night- Citrus-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin
Thursday Night- Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

I really hope this helps someone out there! I plan on trying to post the weekly menu for the upcoming week at least by Thursdays. So if you are needing some dinner ideas, come back on Thursdays :).

Happy Weekend everyone!
