Nothing quite inspires frugality than having to mail off a big fat check to the government. Fortunately for my family, I have some delicious items tucked away in the freezer like frozen artichokes, so they won’t feel deprived despite the fact that I have declared this week a “pantry week”. Was anybody else surprised by how much their taxes went up this year?
I have a printable weekly menu plan and shopping list that you can download to make organizing your meal plan and grocery shopping a little easier.
Monday – Asian Vegetable and Rice Frittata and a Strawberry Spinach Salad.
Tuesday – Meatless Spaghetti using Easy Homemade Spaghetti Sauce and a garden salad.
Wednesday – Use leftover pasta noodles to make Chili Pasta Bake. Serve with Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts.
Thursday – use leftover spaghetti sauce in sauce for Artichoke Lasagna and a garden salad.
Friday – I will make gluten-free pizza dough and my easy pizza sauce, and let everyone make their own pizza. Serve with a salad bar.
Saturday – YOYO (You’re on your own – mama’s taking the night off!) Buffet Dinner.
Sunday – Sonoma Chicken and Pasta and a garden salad.
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.
