Weekly Menu- September 15-21

I really truly meant to post this on Sunday or Monday; it just didn't happen. Let's just say that this has been a rough week for me...I have forgotten two very important things that affected a whole bunch of other people. Tonight, it totally felt like "pregnant brain," but I KNOW FOR A FACT that I am not pregnant. Anyway, enough of all that...here is my family's menu this week.

Monday:
Prep: Soak and cook rice for the week, thaw chicken stock

Dinner: Salmon, rice, corn (The salmon I buy is frozen from Wal-mart. It is the Wal-mart brand and is actually WILD caught, which is the only thing I will buy! It tastes great and is definitely a frugal price!)

Tuesday:
Prep: none

Dinner: Chicken Curry over Rice (I didn't actually get to make this because the chicken I had purchased at Sam's was BAD even though it wasn't past the expiration date...urghh! I actually took it back last night, and my mom treated us to Hideaway Pizza...yum...and I'm sure it was COMPLETELY organic...hahaha!)

Wednesday:
Prep: soak red beans for dinner Thursday

Dinner: church

Thursday:
Prep: none

Dinner: Red beans and rice, salad, fruit

Friday:
Prep: soak and cook more rice

Dinner: hot dogs, mac and chz, veggies (The hot dogs are nitrate-free, organic beef hot dogs. I buy the Annie's brand mac and chz from Wal-mart, which is about $1 cheaper than anywhere else!)

Saturday:
Prep: none

Dinner: Stir fry veggies with Peanut Sauce (I made this last month and WE LOVED IT!!! I made it a little too hot and won't add quite as much dry mustard this time. I had never made anything like this before, so I didn't really know what to expect. It doesn't take very much sauce over your veggies, that's for sure! I think I doubled the recipe and I really didn't need to. I bought organic frozen veggies from Whole Foods for this recipe.)

Sunday:
Prep: start crock pot before church
Lunch: sandwiches
Dinner: Crock Pot Whole Chicken, potatoes, veggie (I have no idea how I am going to cook this chicken yet!!!)
