My goal for this month's menu is to make up as many meals as I can ahead of time and stick them in the freezer. With NO EATING OUT this entire month, I have a feeling it will help me stick to our goal for the month.
With that being said, I plan on making one big shopping trip this weekend with my grocery cash in hand. Here we go:

Monday: Pot roast (trimmed of all fat) with carrots & potatoes
Tuesday (Cinco de Mayo): Mini taco bowls with corn and black beans, Sombrero cookies

I make those Texas Chicken Quesadillas ALOT! They are a huge hit at our house and soooo simple to make!
Seriously...you are like super MOM. Putting us all to shame here, but I do take lessons from you and I enjoy hearing about all your plans
Hey. I love the menu. This is my first week of planning a menu and buying ahead of time for the whole week. I got some of the "5 meals 1 bag" off of Kraft foods.com. The meals are pretty good (not the best I've ever made) but they are easy and I don't have to spend a ton every night that I decide to go to the store. I spent $50.00 this week for the whole week. I was impressed with it. I saw the Italian Beef on your menu....ask Donna about hers. Its wonderful!!
You are so kind to come over to my blog to share the pot roast "stretchers!" That's totally on my next week's menu now. I really appreciate it! I had so much fun seeing what you are making this month...looks awesome!
