Roomie and I have decided that we need to start being super frugal - to this end, I have decided to try menu planning. I've tried it in the past where I wrote down a dinner idea on a calendar for the entire month but that usually went dreadfully astray at some point during the month (usually in the first few days) when I would inevitably decide that I did not feel like cooking and would send out for pizza or zip through the drive through.
This time around, I am only planning for a week at a time and only planning dinners. So, I will return on Monday, July 27th (am currently at my mom's house for the weekend) and thus will start next week's planning on Tuesday.
Tuesday - Salsa Chicken with rice
Wednesday - turkey burgers with tater tots and salad
Thursday - my birthday dinner - tbd later.
Friday - Chicken spinach mushroom pizza
Saturday - Rotisserie chicken w/rice a roni and salad
Just checked the weather report and the weather should cooperate with my menu planning - otherwise, would need to revise for menus that do not require turning on the oven and/or stove in a heat wave.
