Menu Planning Monday

Alright, I'm trying something new...something rather domestic for me. I have gotten rather un-domestic/housewifey in recent months because of our schedules, school, etc etc.

In order to save money each month, Scott and I are going to try to eat at home more during the week. And he has been wanting me to menu-plan for a while now, and I just haven't done it.

So, while perusing the bloggy world for ideas, I came across this website devoted to organizing a few days ago, and she has a weekly menu-planning linky thing. So. Here I go. Menu planning for week 1!

Be impressed. We grocery shopped last night for most of the items, except for the meat, which we will get the day-of and the salad for Thursday. Lunches for Scott are either out, in meetings, or he will go home to scrounge for whatever. Breakfasts for him are usually in, consisting of pancakes or fruit and yogurt parfaits.

I love that you said "be impressed"...that's exactly what I'd be thinking!

Menu planning is a must for us. Going down to one income severly cut down our "out-to-eats".

Couple questions..
What is angel chicken?
And, yes, will you please share the greek potato recipe?
