Menu Plan Monday - the 14 Year Edition

August 11th, 2008

Mike and I are celebrating our 14th anniversary this week. How cool is that? When we discussed whether or not to give one another gifts this year, we agreed to take the money we would have spent on gifts and take the kids to the beach for the weekend. And it was a really great anniversary weekend. :)

So we’re not doing anything special on Wednesday, and we’re having a laid-back food week this week, to enjoy the last week of summer vacation.

We’ve also made some plans to cut back our spending (We’re better about not eating out as much, but we could still cut back some in that area.) in order to pay off our furniture by the promotional deadline, so we’re working really hard to eat at home. And for me to pack my lunch instead of eating out or grabbing a $6 salad in the cafeteria.

Sunday - last night of Chel’s beach vacation dinner

Monday - Brinner

Tuesday - Pot Roast with veggies

Wednesday - chicken fettucini (taken from a shrimp fettucini recipe our friend Russ gave me years ago. Way better with shrimp, but Griff’s allergic and all.) I’ve got Baskin Robbins buy one-get one coupons. Maybe we’ll take the kids and have celebratory ice cream. You know, I love ice cream. In truth, all ice cream is celebratory.

Thursday - leftover pot roast

Friday - leftover chicken fettucini (The kids are spending the weekend with Chuck and Stacy, so we’ll feed them dinner, but if I can convince Mike, we’ll splurge and go out after we drop the kids off.)
