Monday Menu

I have been trying to come up with a good title for a weekly menu post. I really like Sunday Spread, with thanks to Tattooed Minivan Mom. I felt like crap yesterday so it got put off until today and I am hoping to have it again this coming Sunday!
This is what I have planned for this week (6 days worth, 1 day for leftovers or eating out). I have attempted to use some of the same ingredients with totally different dinners trying to cut cost for a budget that fits most family needs and cut your time in the kitchen without feeding your family boring meals.

Menu for the week

• Meatloaf and loaded baked potatoes
• Tacos, rice and beans
• Homemade Mac and Cheese with fruit
• Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo
• Homemade chicken pot pies
• Goulash (noodles, tomato soup and corn, ground beef) with a salad

Grocery list - $45.00 if you bargain shop. Not too bad for a weeks worth of dinners for 5 people.

• 3 lbs ground beef
• lg potatoes for baking
• sour cream
• Lg bag shredded cheddar cheese (split 2 ways)
• small bag of long grain rice
• 1 can refried beans
• elbow noodles
• Velveeta cheese
• 1 lg rotisserie chicken
• 1 small head of broccoli
• 1 jar Alfredo sauce or Alfredo mix
• 1 pkg Fettuccine noodles
• 1 pkg frozen mixed veggies
• 1 jar or mix chicken gravy
• 1 pkg pie crust
• 2 cans tomato soup
• 1 can corn
• fresh fruit
• lettuce and any of your favorite salad fixings

If anyone is interested in any of these recipes just email me and I would be happy to share them with you. Happy cooking!
