My original menu plan for last week:

• Sunday:  Falafel and Salad
• Monday:  Veggie Fajitas
• Tuesday:  Veggie “Fried” Rice
• Wednesday:  Leftovers
• Thursday:  Calzones (homemade dough)
• Friday:  Japanese Soba Soup
• Saturday:  Spicy Potatoes

Here’s what we ended up having:

• Sunday:  Falafel/salad
• Monday:  Fajitas
• Tuesday:  leftovers/scrounge night
• Wednesday:  Veggie “fried” rice
• Thursday:  noodles and cheese
• Friday:  Homemade pizza (with homemade whole-wheat crust)
• Saturday:  Spicy baked potatoes/salad

So, not too bad…we stuck to the plan very well, and even when we didn’t, we used things that we had at the house and didn’t run out for takeout or to buy anything else at the store.

This week’s plan:

• Sunday (today):  Brinner (eggs, pancakes, maybe homefries)
• Monday:  Cabbage and Rice
• Tuesday:  Falafel (by Joey request.  I’ll be tweaking the original recipe)
• Wednesday:  Leftovers/scrounge
• Thursday:  Spinach/mushroom macaroni bake
• Friday:  Sweet potato gnocchi
• Saturday:  Veggie Fajitas
• Sunday:  Homemade pizzas, one white and one regular.

Today is grocery shopping day; I’ve got my list ready!
