Since I last posted a menu, I tried out a couple of different ways of menu-planning, including buying an app for the tablet. As it was only $3, I’m not kicking myself over it, but it’s not the best for the way I think. Live and learn. It seems that until something else rolls around, paper and pen are my best bet with this.

Monday dinner: Leftover pretzel-parmesan chicken and any monkey bread that’s leftover
Tuesday dinner: Parmesan & herbed scrambled egg, apple-gouda sausage, grapefruit juice (I like this because it’s tasty, full of protein, and reasonably healthy <G>)

Thursday dinner: See Tuesday dinner
Friday dinner: Eat out as I’m running errands and will still have to make fudge when I get home
Saturday – writer’s group meeting day
- Breakfast: Cereal & milk

Looks like a decent plan! In the past few years, I’ve discovered my best plans entail “cook lots of something on Saturday or Sunday in the crockpot” and then “eat leftovers for the rest of the week.” Keeps meals cheaper, healthier and tasty!
The challenge in that for me is finding something that I don’t mind eating all week
There was a stew I made once that ended up lasting two weeks. Even my co-workers started asking if I was done with it yet
