It's going to be a very busy week -- just not for me. This is one of those week's I call "Hell Week" because my husband is under the gun for some project or another at work. He may or may not be home at his regular 6pm time. If he does come home, he'll be working in his office. Since I won't know until 5pm if he will be home for dinner, I have to be flexible this week. I can do that.In a previous post, I talked about organizing and inventorying (is that a word?) my freezer contents a few days ago. I quite literally do not need to buy more than $15 or $20 worth of groceries for the next two weeks (at least!) and then only perishables. We don't drink much milk here, and I think I'll bake homemade bread for the next few weeks, so really I just need some yogurt, dryer sheets for the laundry, and potty paper.
So here are the menus, based on what I already have on hand.
Monday
Steak on the grill
Green salad w/blue cheese crumbles, bacon and cranberries
Tuesday
(Recipe at the end of my Nov. 15 post)
Wednesday
Planned eating out, meeting at 7pm
Thursday

(make extra meatballs for freezer)
Green salad, garlic bread
Friday

Saturday

Macaroni and cheese
Vegetable
Sunday
Breakfast for dinner
Sausage, Vegetable omelet, toast for Jeff
Oatmeal, sausage, toast for me (I don't eat eggs)

Your menu looks good. I like how you include your to do list. I need to to this...
