Please visit I’m an Organizing Junkie for more great Meal Plans.

We have lots going on this week, Andrew turns 18 on Monday, Spring Break, and Easter.

Monday ~ Probably Leftover Buffet, as we had the Homemade Chicken Nuggets and Fries for Birthday Dinner on Sunday

Tuesday ~ Homemade Corn Dogs (recipe from Chaos in the Kitchen, originally posted on MomAdvice)

Wednesday ~ Chicken N’ Noodles and mashed potatoes

I try to boil a whole chicken, mostly for the flavor but also the cost. While you are picking the meat off the bone, bring a pot of water to boil, cook the noodles. When the noodles are done, mix them with 2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup and 1 can of milk. Stir in the chicken. Sometime I put them in the crockpot to keep them warm.

Thursday ~ Tuna Casserole and fruit

Friday ~ Enchiladas, chips and salsa

Saturday ~ Stuffed Baked Potatoes and Chicken Wings (recipes)

Sunday ~ Easter Dinner – Ham, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Cheesy Potatoe Casserole (recipe) Green Beans, Asparagus, Jello Fluff Salad, Desserts and Dinner Rolls

I always am able to keep the cost down for our dinners, it’s all of the other food that I can’t seem to get the budget down, but I’m working on it.
