  This is week 3 on creating a meal plan for the week. Yesterday being a holiday has been nice.  It will make this week a little bit shorter.  Yesterday we worked a lot around the house cleaning like crazy.

Last week's meal plan was a success!  It sure made the week planning easier.  I didn't have to think about dinner since I knew exactly what I was going to make.   Now to repeat it again this week.  When we made something with enough leftovers we would have for lunch or dinner the  next day. Monday: Lunch Soup  Dinner: Minestrone Soup with leftover meat from Taco night Tuesday:  Lunch PB&J Dinner: Tacos again since we have all of the ingredients.  Soft taco shells are only $.99 at Aldi. Wednesday:  Lunch Hotdogs Dinner:  Hotdogs with Chili Thursday: Lunch Pasta Os (from Aldi $.64 a can)  and Black Beans (from Aldi $.64 a can)  Super yummy! Dinner: Frozen Pizza from Aldi Friday: Lunch Fastfood? Dinner:  Indian Butter chicken Crockpot from Stephanie O'Dea's cookbook. …
