Menu Plan: Week 2

Week 1 went pretty well, though we did not do the pizza.  I can't remember what we did in place of it, but we did NOT eat out, so that was good.  Also, on our "grab something quick" night, the kiddo and I ended up eating with my parents and my husband was taken out to dinner by some folks he works with (which is good, because we still have two more weeks until payday and the grocery fund is dwindling...)

• MONDAY - Dinner at the WU dining hall! We are a "friendship family" to a couple of international students and we are meeting them tonight and eating dinner on campus.  A first since living in the LLC nearly 10 years ago!
• TUESDAY - Grilling! My cousins and their significant others are joining us for dinner Tuesday night.  We are taking care of drinks, chips, and meat of some kind.  I was planning to see what was on sale at the store this week and go from there, but it will probably be chicken or pork chops.
• WEDNESDAY - Homemade Macaroni & Cheese - this is the best stuff ever made.  And I'm not exaggerating.  I grew up on this stuff, and my family loves it. HOWEVER, it is pricy because it includes Velveeta, which is averaging about $6/brick. Yikes.  The good news is I can get several meals out of one brick, so we should be good.  My husband likes to cook up smoked sausage with this dish, and since we have some in the fridge, we should be in good shape.  If I remember I will photograph and post this recipe...it is my dad's, and it's the best.
• THURSDAY - Night at church...we grab dinner out.
• FRIDAY - We are headed to Tulsa to see my niece right after school, so this will probably be dinner on the road.

It truly is my goal to stick to our plan of only grabbing dinner out on Thursdays, but with our trip and our friendship family, we are unable to do so this week.  Oh well!
