We are very low on food right now, so it's time for me to start meal planning again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-your-dinner-menu-planned#post-762157 Sun, 05 May 2013 18:10:35 +0000 mediagirl 762157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonight - grilled chicken on salad with fresh corn.<br /> Monday - steaks, potatoes and zucchini<br /> Tuesday - rice bowls with leftover steak<br /> Wednesday - tacos<br /> Thursday - sandwiches or breakfast for dinner<br /> Friday - pizza<br /> Saturday - leftovers<br /> Sunday - Chinese - my pick for Mother's Day! :-)</p> <p>I try to plan weekly because going to the grocery store during the week is difficult for me. </p> <p>@mamamoose we have a fend for yourself night, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-your-dinner-menu-planned#post-762104 Sun, 05 May 2013 17:01:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 762104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually plan for 3-4 weeks and make a day out of grocery shopping once a month (on Sat or Sun). It's not a set in stone list but ends up being a list of meals that I know I have all of the ingredients to make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-your-dinner-menu-planned#post-762059 Sun, 05 May 2013 16:01:44 +0000 Smurfette 762059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan for the whole week. This week flying by since DH is traveling so I am on my own with LO for the first time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-your-dinner-menu-planned#post-762014 Sun, 05 May 2013 14:36:18 +0000 MamaMoose 762014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We meal plan. Every week we have a taco night and a "fend for yourself" night and then the other five meals for the week change. This week we only have 4 because we have a dinner party on Thursday:</p> <p>Quinoa penne and asparagus in a balsamic sauce<br /> Grilled chicken marinated in Italian dressing with rice and Brussels sprouts<br /> Ribs in the slow cooker with sweet potato fries and grilled squash<br /> Stuffed peppers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-your-dinner-menu-planned#post-762010 Sun, 05 May 2013 14:25:37 +0000 citymouse 762010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do it week by week! We shop once a week, normally when we run out of food. We literally empty the fridge and cabinets, for the most part, before going shopping again. </p> <p>This Week:</p> <p>Spaghetti Potluck with our Small Group<br /> Basil Pesto Chicken Bake (SkinnyTaste)<br /> Leftovers<br /> Zucchini Casserole<br /> Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps (SkinnyTaste)<br /> Leftovers<br /> Cuban Beans and Rice<br /> Potstickers (Frozen from Trader Joe's) and Steamed Broccoli </p> <p>We pick out 4-5 meals, write out the grocery list and shop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-your-dinner-menu-planned#post-761998 Sun, 05 May 2013 14:09:06 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 761998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We make a plan for the week sometime before Sunday and shop early Sunday morning. This week we've got:</p> <p>Chicken, roasted potatoes, green bean salad<br /> Chicken nugget salad<br /> Taco night<br /> Chipotle (I teach and get a bogo meal!)<br /> Eggs poached in marinara sauce and rice<br /> Pork chops, salad, and rice<br /> Mystery Meal (my cousin comes by one night a week and makes us dinner)</p> <p>Yum!

It tends to save us money that way because when we go to the store we know exactly what we need and can shop the sales. Some of our easiest ones (and we usually double the recipe to freeze and have later) are creamy chicken soup, srirachi mac n cheese, chicken taquitos, and peanut chicken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-your-dinner-menu-planned#post-761911 Sun, 05 May 2013 12:03:43 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 761911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first time in a very long time, I actually have some time to go to the store on Sunday (although, I usually avoid it because it's so crowded). I'm trying to think of a few quick and meals for this week. </p> <p>Do you plan your menu for the week? Or do it day by day? </p>
