Meal Plan Monday: menu planning ideas

So, we are nearing the end of the month and that means that our pantry and freezer are thinning out. So, the meals we are having this week will be pretty cheap meals using up the stuff in the cabinets.

Shop My Kitchen:

The following items can be found in my kitchen here at Miller Manor. Simply click the image that interests you – yes, they do contain affiliate links.

A collection of black cookware, including pots, pans, and lids, is artfully arranged on a wooden surface in the kitchen. Some lids are glass. The set features a grill pan with a few Brussels sprouts nestled nearby. A gray bottle completes this stylish culinary shop display.

A weathered sign leaning against a tree reads Farmers Market with a cow illustration. Below, it lists Cheeses, Fresh Eggs, Pies, Antiques & Collectibles for your kitchen needs. Grass and a few small yellow flowers surround the sign, inviting you to shop local treasures.

A farmhouse decor arrangement features a framed silhouette of a cow, pig, and chicken stacked; a bearded figure with a patterned hat; a farmhouse sign in cursive; and a felt ball garland in shades of white, gray, and green.

Three kitchen towels with crochet tops are displayed. The towels feature farm-themed designs: one with a cow and text Farm Fresh Milk, another with a rooster and cow, and the third with a rooster and Farm Fresh inside a wreath.

Ok, on to my menu plan for this week:

Monday: Busy Day BBQ Meatballs, Potato Salad, Broccoli Slaw

Tuesday: End of the Month Casserole

Wednesday: Leftover Soup

Thursday: I will be out of the so the boys will have to fend for themselves. But, the soup should last them a few days

Friday: I am hoping for a little Hard Rock eating this night. LOL!
