Menu Plan: Week 3

Last week went well, except I ended up with two meals leftover.  One night we opted for "fend for yourself" night as we call it, and the other was Thursday when we're at church, so we just grabbed dinner on the way.

This week, however, is going to be much more difficult to manage.  My husband and I are both swamped with meetings, school, deadlines, and evening commitments, so rather than putting together a detailed meal plan, I'm going to keep things simple.  We are going to repeat a few meals from last week:

• Grilled cheese & Ravioli (which worked very well last week - the ravioli was delish and a sinch to whip up) - already have all ingredients
• Honeymoon Pizza - I'll make the dough this weekend so it will be quicker this week, and the bacon is already made as well! And no trip to the store for this one, either!
• Pancakes - from a box :/ I used to always make them from scratch, but my son loves them so much that we end up making them quite a bit. This is easier, and the box at Aldi is under $2. I also have everything for this meal!

What does that mean for my grocery budget? Beyond fruit, yogurt, and milk, it means we get to pay for diapers! Whoohoo. (That was very unenthusiastic, if you couldn't tell.)  I know the day will arrive when I don't have to do this, but right now, I can't see it...
