Meal Planning June 29-July 5th

This week I only have 6 meals laid out for our weekly menu.  Plans are still not in stone about what we are doing on July 4th therefore I did not plan a meal.  If we end up BBQing then we will probably purchase the meat for that on Sunday so it will be fresh.  Happy 4th of July to everyone and may everyone remember the true reason for our celebration instead of enjoying just another day off.

Day 1 - Spaghetti
            Cesar Salad

Day 2 - Shepherd's Pie
             This is a very cheap an easy meal.  Layer in a casserole dish: prepared mashed potatoes, browned hamburger meat (or ground turkey), regular corn (some people use creamed corn but husband is not a fan), and sprinkle with cheese.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is super melty or in my families case a little brown on top.

Day 3 - Chili Dogs (my favorite family stand by meal for busy nights)

Day 4 - Baked Talapia
             Lipton Broccoli and Cheddar Rice
             Steamed Broccoli

Day 5 - Balsamic Chicken (Use thin boneless skinless chicken breasts, sprinkled with a little balsamic vinegar, some salt and pepper, and flour in a hot skillet in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil place the chicken.  Cook chicken on each side about 5 minutes each or until completely cooked through)
             Served with:
             Corn on the Cob
             Mashed Potatoes

Day 6 - Brawts and Sour kraut
            Potato Salad
