Menu planning Monday

I had a hard time getting my thoughts to focus on menu planning for the week, to be honest. I know I will be glad I did. I always do. The menus do not always stay locked in stone. Sometimes our schedules change. Sometimes there is just a boatload of leftovers so we do that instead. Sometimes we get to a certain day and really just don't want that particular food. Despite that, it's still great to have a starting place to build and adapt from.

There were a few bulk meat items on sale this week so I got some of that. There just isn't freezer space in the wee freezers for too much right now to stock up.

Sunday - Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, mom's homemade buns and corn

Monday - Chicken quesadillas using leftover chicken meat. Tossed salad

Tuesday - Meatloaf cupcakes and homemade mac and cheese

Wednesdsay - home made chicken noodle soup from the carcas of mr roast chicken. (Isn't carcass such an appetizing word? heh)

Thursday - leftovers methinks

Friday - pork cutlets and roast potato wedges with a salad

I seem to eat the same foods week after week, so I love to browse other peoples menu ideas. Think I'm going to steal your mac and cheese idea, thanks.....
