I'm not sure about you, but I know that if I don't stick to a menu plan my grocery budget goes haywire. I should have uploaded this on Sunday, but I just wanted to share with you how I do my weekly menu plans. Here is the one for this week:
To be perfectly honest, I normally don't eat Lunch myself (I know, I know, I should) but I may have some fruit or berries and a cup of Soy Milk. Speaking of which, I'm so glad that Silk 'Nog is out again! I can't wait until Holiday Season each year when Silk 'Nog (Vegan Egg Nog) hits the shelves! So delicious!
I do however pack lunch for my husband each morning so the lunch category is what he gets. If I'm using a Hoagie or Sub type roll I just give him a single sandwich, or if I'm using regular bread I make a Club Sandwich for him.
As for breakfast, I'm usually the one eating the oatmeal and Jon is usually the one who opts for cereal, although sometimes he does feel like oatmeal. I just play that by ear. Also, I always give him coffee- I take my pick whether I want tea or coffee.
Also, most weeks I'll make a sweet such as a fruit Pie of some description or Cake but this week I haven't yet, in spite of good intentions. (That's probably a good thing, I don't need any extra calories!).
Speaking of calories, I'm honestly not sure how many our meal plan adds up to. I really don't count them. I used to, and I should probably start again since I want to shed some pounds but it's not like I eat unhealthily to begin with. Too many carbs is probably my primary curse!
Anyway, I think I might start posting my menu plan every week.
In the meantime, Stay Glamorous!
I am like you and have to make a menu for the week. Like you said, if I don't I end up spending more money at the grocery store. I usually make enough to have leftovers for the next day since that is what my hubby take for lunch - it works out well. Thanks for sharing this and your meals sound delicious!

Impressive! I wish I had the energy to do plans like this. Very inspiring. And do eat lunch, it's much healthier for your. I'm always hungry, so I don't understand how any one can skip a meal. Love your blog. :)
