Meal Plan 1/18-1/24

I've started planning out our meals 2 weeks in advance to help organize our lives and to help save money on the grocery bill. Both of these things have been accomplished since I've started planning them out. We also eat out far less when I have a plan and we have recently started paying off our debt using Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover so this is essential. I try and plan meals around what meat I have in the freezer and what coupons/sales are that week. With that being said, I don't always have lots of meat in the freezer. I always have lots of pasta, potatoes, sides, etc. but not alot of meat so I've started making one meal a week that doesn't include meat. I also make soup every weekend during the cold months. I'll make it Saturday morning and we'll reheat it for lunch on Sunday afternoon.

Mon.- leftover calzone

Tues.- sandwiches (This day I had an appt. in Raleigh so Rob made these and we ate on the way)

Wed.- baked chicken, couscous, asparagus
