Menu Plan Mondays

This week, my goal is to make healthy meals with lots of vegetables and a VERY minimal grocery list. Luckily, we have too much food in our freezer and pantry and I was able to come up with this:

Monday: sausage squash cornbread casserole
black eyed pea stew

Tuesday: Black bean, chicken and rice chimichangas (beans are in the freezer)
Corn

Wednesday: Smoked (cheddar) pasta salad
Cauliflower Soup (already in the freezer)

Thursday: Grilled Chicken with White barbecue sauce
Broccoli Salad
Mashed Turnips and Potatoes

Friday: Pizza (marinara in the freezer)

Saturday: Shrimp fettuccine and Salad


And this is all I needed: 1 red onion, raisins, spinach, 1lb sausage, 1lb turkey kielbasa, chopped green chilies, mayonnaise, tortillas, fettuccine, mozzarella, pepperoni, 3 potatoes, and a small sour cream. And the big news was-that's all i bought! Nothing snuck into my cart today. Probably because I only had the youngest 2 kids with me.

I don't think I can recall a time where I only bought what was on my list...are you telling me it can be done?
