Update on June Meals

Here is what the menu ended up being for June. As with everything, life happens and schedules changed so things got shifted. This is going to be boring for you all but I think it is important for me to keep record of this.

June's Meal List

Thursday, June 9th: Out
Friday, June 10th: BLT
Saturday, June 11th: Chicken Dijon
Sunday, June 12th: RAH @ Carolines, BMC fend
Monday, June 13th: Mexican Lasagna
Tuesday, June 14th: Dixie
Wednesday, June 15th: Sausage and Zucchini
Thursday, June 16th:  Tuna w/ lime and pepper crust
Friday, June 17th:  Spaghettie Carbonara
Saturday, June 18th: Out
Sunday, June 19th: RAH @ Carolines, BMC fend
Monday, June 20th: Greek Style Chicken Skillet Recipe
Tuesday, June 21st: Chicken with Gnocchi
Wednesday, June 22nd: Fend
Thursday, June 23rd: Emeril's tuna melts
Friday, June 24th: Shephards Pie
Saturday, June 25th: Poppy Seed Chicken
Sunday, June 26th: RAH @ Caroline's, BMC fend
Monday, June 27th: Slow-Cooked Brisket in Onion Gravy
Tuesday, June 28th:  Fend
Wednesday, June 29th: Brisket Slippy Joes
Thursday, June 30th:  Spaghetti

On the Saturday's we ate dinner here it was because we ate lunch out. I did have to add a meal completely (Spaghetti). On top of the $187 we paid originally I paid another $10 to replace a few things that had gone bad or I had forgotten.

I am so far thinking this plan is a success. We are not eating out as much, I am enjoying cooking more, we appear to be saving money (this month is the real test), and the kitchen is being kept clean easier.

    You are inspiring me to plan and cook. I spend way too much on food that we dont eat.

    I'm a new follower from Jenna's challenge. I find it amazing that you meal pan a whole month. I like to plan meals out to save money and be ready to cook each week, but I've never successfully planned more than a week or 10 days. I look forward to reading more.

    I try to plan for 3-4 weeks at a time, simply because I don't enjoy grocery shopping. I still have to fill in with fresh produce and milk. But, as a single mom, it's way easier to know what I'm going to be making when I come home from work instead of staring into the fridge and wondering... "Hmmm...what should we have tonight?"
