Weekly Menu 10/31/10-11/6/10

Did an awesome job sticking to the menu or at least eating what was in the house.  Forgot during the planning stage that we had plans Friday night to go out for Allen's birthday but that ended up getting postponed so we just got some takeout.  Let's stick to the plan next week and stick to the budget.

Sunday-Roasted chicken w/the fixings Soft Tacos
Monday-Irish beef sterw w/colcannon
Tuesday-PF Chang's Mongolian Beef w/rice Spanish Rice Casserole
Wednesday-Boilermaker Tailgate Chili (adapted to a crockpot recipe) PF Chang's Mongolian Beef w/rice
Thursday-Spanish Rice casserole Roasted Chicken
Friday-Hotdogs & Mac & Cheese Shake & Bake Bork Chops
Saturday-Not sure yet

So we have 2 new recipes (Chili & Irish Stew w/colcannon)  On a high from last week with the multiple new recipes that all came out great.  I just realized with the exception on Sunday we're not eating chicken, that is so not like us.  I may switch out the Mongolian Beef for Sesame Honey Chicken.  We'll see when I food shop and compare prices.

As you can see from all my changes it's not a good idea to make the menu before you food shop.
