Menu Plan Monday

I made a 2 week meal plan a week ago...but I want to change it. With this being almost 3 weeks between pay-periods, I'm going to have to be creative on spreading my groceries out until the next paycheck. I hate going over budget on groceries. Hate. It.

Monday - Leftover Tomato/Crouton Soup, and Fried Rice I made over the weekend
Tuesday -Italian Goulash
Wednesday - Parmesan Tilapia and mashed potatoes and canned veggies
Thursday - eating out with friends and going to a Booth Brothers concert!!
Friday - something with the pork chops I bought last week?
Saturday - Grilled cheese and canned soup
Sunday - homemade pizza
Monday - Spaghetti with ground Turkey instead of beef (it's cheaper)

I doubt I will stick exactly to my menu, but it's a good guideline because I know I have these ingredients in the house. Also, a good cooking tip would be to try to make a meal on Saturday or Sunday that you only intend to eat for your lunches during the week. Casseroles, a pasta dish, or large-quantity bean burrito recipes are good for this. Fried rice is what I made this weekend to feed us for a few lunches.
