Menu Plan, Week 4

Well, I am still at it and we are still doing great on not eating out as much. I am guessing we have already saved around 150 - 200 dollars.

Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, my obsession with "cream of" soup continues. I never realized how many of my easy, tried and true favorites contain this. Well, no apologies from me - it is easy and tasty and I am not that much of a food snob anymore now that there is a two year old underfoot.

This week the list is:

Meatloaf - I made this Saturday night and it really hit the spot. Olivia really liked it too. We had some garlic mashed potatoes, cooked cabbage and asparagus to go with it.

Red Beans and Rice - I have never made this before, but had a good recipe to start from. WOW - almost as good as New Orleans.

Chop Suey Casserole - An old favorite that I have actually only made once before. Looking forward to it again.

Chicken Pot Pie - will come back with the link, need to remember how to make it.

Lastly, I was craving bran muffins and tried a new recipe. As usual, I made some changes, so I posted what I did. They rock!

Raisin Bran Muffins (6 Week Muffins)

Whew - got it all up - guess I need to start thinking about next week already. This menu planning thing is a lot of work.
