Happy Monday, everyone! This week is starting off to a sunny, humid, and unseasonably warm start here in Dixie and as there’s no better way to start a week off then a well-thought out meal plan I can’t wait to share with you all what we will be having this week!
This week’s menu will again reflect a little bit of a change. For the past six months, we have made a point of eating our freezers down to zero. Now we will be switching gears and making a priority out of eating down our home pantry stockpile. As with last week’s plan, this week’s menu will seek to utilize excessive pantry staples to feed our family of three for one week. This week’s menu total is $34.87 and this week’s theme: Summer Crockpot dinners.
Here’s what we will be having this week:
Monday
Breakfast: Pecan Cinnamon Muffins with almond milk and grapes.
Lunch: Olive spread, with crackers, grapes, and almond milk.

So, folks, that’s this week’s Monday Meal Planning session. Simple, basic food options. And again this week I wanted to mention that since the holiday’s I have been using my new favorite menu planning resource, Plan to Eat, and I really think you all might benefit from it as well. You can click on the photo below for more information. So now savvy savers, what’s on your menu plan for this week? I’d love to hear about it below!
I love menu plans. I think they make things so much simpler – grocery shopping, eating, planning, saving money! I like how you wrote everything out and used the crock pot as well in this list. I loved the recipes you shared and will definitely be trying Crock Pot Chicken and Black Beans – it looks delicious. Thanks for sharing your menu plan!
Thank you, Amy! Have an awesome week ahead!
