Meal Plan for the Week of 8-5-12

Ohmygoodness, how is this August already?  It feels like this summer has just been unbearably hot and now we are at the tail-end of it and it's over?  We saw leaves falling on the ground as we walked around the lake the other day.  Leaves!!!  Little Hob was amazed by them.  He finally found the "right one" and carried it all the way home.  So, now it sits in our garage...just a reminder of our summer that turned into fall way too soon.

So, we have really kept up with the meal plans this past year and this month I went ahead and made out a plan for the entire month.  To do the entire month, I created a theme for each day that really made planning things out much easier.  I'll put the "theme" for each day in parentheses behind each meal to show you what I mean.  Also, it seemed to make it easier to not be stuck in the pasta-bbq-meat rut we tend to get stuck in.  I'd really like to do the sort of planning I've seen on other blogs where you not only plan for the entire month but you freeze things ahead of time and add those pre-made meals into the mix.  But...not quite there yet so here this week is....

Sunday-leftover Slow Cooker BBQ chicken, baked eggplant, bbq beans, fresh peaches (Papa Hob plans)
Monday-Zucchini Enchiladas, black beans (Meatless Mondays)
Tuesday-Blueberry pancakes, sausage (Breakfast Tuesdays)
Wednesday-Lasagna, green beans (Pasta Wednesdays)
Thursday-Leftover Lasagna (Leftover Thursdays)
Friday-Broccoli, Chicken, Rice Casserole, cucumber & tomato salad (Fish/Chicken Fridays)
Saturday-bbq hamburgers (Papa Hob BBQ's Saturdays)

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday...let's hope for a cool week!
