Menu Plan 2/28/11

Last week I went to Costco (not a big shopping) and Super-Target twice (diapers, clementines, peanut butter, hair products, etc.) so our monthly total is about $355.  That leaves enough money for our monthly grass-fed beef order, and some to put towards our coconut oil.  Not quite my goal (I wanted to have the full amount for our coconut oil) but not bad.  I ended up spending more on diapers than I had planned because I bought a $20 box at Target since they come out to about 13-14 cents a diaper that way.  It is a box of 144 so hopefully I can stretch that through April since we use cloth at home.  I think I will be doing some major food shopping early this week for the first half of March.

Breakfasts:
Baked Soaked Oatmeal
Cranberry Vanilla Muffins
Eggs & English Muffins

Lunches:
PB&J Sandwiches
String Cheese
Mini Sweet Peppers (in a bag from Costco, these are amazing)
Fruit

Dinners:
Monday - Leftovers
Tuesday - Chinese Chicken Salad (going to experiment on some msg-free dressing)
Wednesday - Cheese Tortellini Soup & Toasted Pesto Chicken Sandwiches on Ciabatta Bread
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - Beef & Bean Soft Tacos, Creamy Crockpot Corn (have to make a batch of this anyways...)
Saturday - Leftovers
Sunday - Homemade Pizza (PW's crust)

It has really been helping me these past few weeks to be almost out of sugar and butter!  When I can't make baked goods, I can't eat them :)  I found a fruit and nut mix at Costco that we really like - kind of like Larabars, but not in a bar.  So that has been a good, crunchy snack.

Have a great week!
