I am back in the GRIND, folks. I have a lot of freelance work right now, which means I really need to get organized food-wise. This week I started doing dinner food prep while Cate eats her lunch. It was very helpful...if you're home during the day, definitely a good tip for making dinnertime a little easier.
Here's what we're eating this week (probably). Bring on the menus! I seriously read through them every week to plan my menus. I'm so happy you all share!
MONDAY:
- Leftovers
TUESDAY:
- Orange Chicken

My latest post: Toddler Self-Analysis...
A blog by mom/graphic designer, Jane Maynard, with the best husband and daughters in the world who tries to cook dinner daily and couldn't do it without Trader Joe's.
Welcome to This Week for Dinner...
I am a mom/graphic designer who doesn't mind cooking but can't ever come up with what to cook. This Week for Dinner(TM) is a place where we can share ideas for weekly menu planning. Every Sunday I post my weekly dinner plan. TWFD friends can then post their menus in the comments section, providing me (and everyone else) with fresh ideas every week! I also post other fun 'foodstuffs' throughout the week.
Bon appetit!
Bon appetit!

Jane, this is a great blog. How do you find time to make such great meals? Seriously, I don't know how you do it. I am just not that great in the kitchen. Also, is your grocery bill a lot of money or is it not too bad. I totally want to follow your example but I am scared we will be living out of our car if we eat like a king. :-) Give me some tips!
Monday:
Bacon, lettuce and egg salads in Parmesan cheese crisp "bowls"

Real Simple lasagna and salad

Sloppy Joes and some Mac and Cheese I have frozen in the freezer
Thursday:
TBD--I am in the mood for Chile!! But it is so warm out! SO I suspect I'll make something else with my ground turkey.

Friend's house for a dinner party. I'm bringing an appetizer. I'm bringing some spicy queso dip!

hey jaci!
planning a weekly menu totally helps me save money right off the bat b/c I only buy things that I actually use. we definitely spend less now that I am consistently planning.
I also shop at least 2 stores each week to save money.
here's a post I did about budgeting a while ago:
http://www.thisweekfordinner.com/2007/04/kitchen-tips-working-with-budget.html
trust me, we don't eat like kings and I'm not a fancy cook at all. :) definitely look at the budgeting post for ideas!
oh - I think when life is normal I probably spend $80-100 per week...I never break $100, actually. but that's not counting eating out probably 1 night a week.

-Crispy Chicken Strips
-Fruit Kabobs
Tuesday:
-Turkey Taco Salad
-Cornbread
