My Two Week Menu – incl. Thanksgiving

This 2 week menu includes my Thanksgiving meal as well.  My last menu was a bit disrupted because of family coming into town, but at least I have the ingredients and can add to my existing menu.  No worries, if you have the food you can always use it another day, it never goes to waste in my house!

So here’s my  2 week menu:

Week 1

Monday: Stewed Chicken (crock pot) with wild rice

Tuesday: Pasta Verde w/salad and garlic bread

Wednesday: Picadillo w/white rice

Thursday: (Thanksgiving) Turkey and To-furkey, S.Cream mashed potatoes, twice baked swt potatoes, Wild Rice Stuffing, Squash Casserole, Sausage/Veggie Stuffing, Broccoli/Tomatoe Salad, Biscuits, Apple Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Coconut Macaroons

Friday: Quesadillas w/leftover meat

Saturday: Take-out

Sunday: Homemade Mac-n-Cheese and meatloaf

Week 2

Monday: Pizza Night

Tuesday: Peasant Pasta w/garlic bread

Wednesday: Taco Night

Thursday: Take -out Night

Friday: Grilled Chicken w/roasted potatoes

Saturday: Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta

Sunday: Chicken Wraps w/salad

It takes me approximately 2 hours to determine the menu, grocery list and match the coupons and determine which stores we would tackle. Then I give my hubby a list and I take a list and within 2 hours we are home and packing away our groceries.

Now will you take the challenge and shop for 2 weeks at a time? It is difficult at first but once you get used to it you would not have it any other way. With a family of 7 we always have to have our pantry stocked and doing this twice a month is wise and a great money saving tip.
