How to Create a Menu Plan - Tips for creating a menu plan

My garden is starting to produce greens, so just about every meal will be served with a garden salad until my kids protest. Then I will get a little more clever and start hiding incorporating the greens in dishes.

Monday –  Make Spaghetti using Homemade Spaghetti Sauce. Serve with a garden salad.

Tuesday – Tacos (using homemade taco seasoning), Mexican Rice, and Refried Beans.

Wednesday – Mushroom and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole. Serve with a garden salad.

Thursday – Use leftover taco meat and spaghetti noodles to make Southwestern Spaghetti Pie. Serve with a garden salad.

Friday –  Salmon with Pomegranate Tea Glaze, Basmati Rice with Onions and Garlic, and Roasted Asparagus with Dijon Dressing.

Saturday – Use leftover spaghetti sauce to make Spaghetti Squash Pie. Serve with a garden salad.

Sunday – Easter Dinner for $30.00 – All of the recipes are on this page.

If you need help getting started making a menu plan, you can read how I create menu plans, which includes mention of various methods I have used in the past. Another tool that is available to help is ZipList. I created a video, showing how I use ZipList to save recipes, make meal plans, and create shopping lists.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
