Menu Planning
I need to get more motivated with a menu plan. I am finding that it isn't that we eat out alot or even order take-out but I am leaving it to the last minute on what we are having for supper on any given day. I have been so bad lately, it is to the point my kids will say "Mom, what's for supper tonight?" My response is for them to give me 5 to 10 minutes to think on it. Not every night do I go through this but lately it seems like at least 3 to 4 nights out of the week. I end up usually whipping up spaghetti,soup and grilled cheese, kraft dinner with hotdogs etc... It isn't so terrible as I usually have a big dinner 3 nights out of a given week. I usually have our salad in the fridge and if not I haul out the pickles and some bread to go with whatever we are having. I just need to get organized in this department to make my life a little bit easier :).
We had of course our turkey dinner today and I have Tonsssssss of turkey left. So I have decided tonight that for the rest of the week:
Wednesday: turkey pot pie with caesar salad.
Thursday : Beef Barely soup with homemade rolls.
Friday : Glazed Pork chops with rice and green beans.
Saturday : Grilled cheese with home fries and dill pickles.
Sunday : Ham slices, mashed whipped potato and corn.
I want to start this upcoming Monday with a weekly menu plan. I will be freezing leftover turkey for future meals and tomorrow I will be doing up my turkey broth for future soups and gravies.

I really need to get back to menu planning. Sometime today or tomorrow I'm going to go through the freezer and see what all is in there, so I know what I have to work with!
Hey - how do you make your glazed pork chops?
Karen, lets keep each other accountable ok? lol.
I will post the glazed pork chops for you, super easy! :)
Menu planning is always my biggest problem. Your menu looks fantastic and your preplanning with leftovers is great. I'll be joining you on that goal shortly!
