Menu Plan for the Week

This is late because I was really scrambling to put together a menu plan after a busy weekend.  I normally would have done my two-week menu plan and shopping today or tomorrow, but instead I had both the opportunity and need to go shopping on Friday.  So I ended up shopping without my menu plan.  Yikes!

I ended just buying staples that I knew we needed as well a few good sale/coupon items.  With the various food I already have in the pantry and freezer I actually think we should be good for the two weeks, but for now I just planned the menu for this week.  I'll worry about next week when it comes!  Here's what I put together based on what we have:

Breakfasts:
cereal, instant grits, yogurt, toast, muffins or bagels (to be baked)

Lunches:
grilled cheese, peanut butter and apples, leftovers, tuna salad

Dinners:
Mon - Italian Sausage soup (my modified version), Italian Herb Muffins,
Tues - Leftover soup, muffins, salad
Wed - Raspberry chicken and apples,* rice, green beans
Thurs - Leftover chicken
Fri - Black eyed peas and tortillas, corn
Sat - tba
Sun - tba

*Raspberry Chicken and Apples:
Marinate boneless chicken breasts in raspberry vinaigrette dressing that we found too sweet and don't like for salads.  Toss some sliced apples in cinnamon and sugar and place in greased baking pan with chicken.  Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes or until done!
