This meal plan is during the time our baby is due - and since we don't have a scheduled induction or c-section, who knows when that will be! So instead of a dated meal plan, here is a list of meals I plan to have everything on hand for:
Beef and Tomato Casserole, Salad
Lemon Chicken , Rice
Saucy Italian Pork Chops , Salad
Spanish Style Chicken etc. (RR 162)
BBQ Pork Sandwiches
Creamy Chicken , Broccoli, Carrots
Hodge Podge Soup, Corn Bread Muffins
L.O. Hodge Podge Soup, etc.
Pizza, Salad
Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Green Peas
My mom is coming tomorrow and we work pretty well tag-teaming dinner - that is, she has never liked picking out recipes, but doesn't mind cooking. So I've picked out food and she can cook it when I can't. I also allocated funds for eating out more (while the baby and I are in the hospital). I've learned the hard way that if you don't plan for unexpected meals, you spend way too much for them! For a family on a budget, that's a sure way to break it!
I also went ahead and made a meal plan for the following two weeks that we can draw from if little Miss Robbins is late. It is even more sparse, since my dad will be coming into town and I expect we will eat out more. I will probably not post another meal plan until November, by then I'll be back to typing with one hand :) but that's ok!
