We have been doing our grocery shopping and meal plans a week at a time for a very long time and are almost always going over budget! For August I have decided to try a monthly meal plan and shopping for all the non-perishable items for the entire month upfront. I also show you a pull-out can cabinet that my husband and father built for me in the kitchen. Meals for the first week of August include: *Breakfast Smoothies with protein powder or a banana and yogurt for Mark and I. The kids will eat cereal, pop tarts, or waffles. I do try and make eggs and bacon once a week. *Lunch Mark and I are having 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 boiled egg, a handful of grapes, and a multigrain sandwich thin with a tablespoon of Justin Honey Peanut Butter every day. Paige has soup or a sandwich every day. The 3 younger kids will have one of the following with fruit and a veggie: Mac N Cheese, Chicken Nuggets, Fish Sticks, PB&J sandwich, Homemade lunchables, and soup. *Dinner Tilapia & Oriental Salad (see recipe after dinners) Crockpot Sausage, Green Beans & Potatoes http://www.recipesthatcrock.com/crock-pot-sausage-green-beans-and-potatoes/#_a5y_p=3702007 Shredded Chicken Tacos with Rice and Boraccho Beans http://ourhollydays.com/2013/07/stupid-easy-slow-cooker-chicken-tacos-2/ Cheeseburger Macaroni with Corn on the Cob http://www.daringgourmet.com/2016/02/29/homemade-hamburger-helper-cheeseburger-macaroni/ Ham, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Braid with Fruit Salad http://www.fabfatale.com/2015/01/ham-egg-and-cheese-breakfast-braid-recipe/ Oriental Salad Spring Mix Greens, 1 English Cucumber, 1 pkg cherry tomatoes, green onion, 1 large can mandarin oranges, cranberries, pine nuts, 1 pkg Ramen noodles, 1 small pkg slivered almonds Brown 1 pkg of crushed ramen noodles and slivered almonds in 2 tbsp of butter until lightly browned.
