This isn’t a very exciting week, I’m afraid—I’m making two things that last three days each, so not a lot of variety. But this is just one of those weeks I want to focus on other things besides meals so I wanted a lot of leftovers. The baked ziti is awesome, by the way, and easy.

Visit Menu Plan Monday to see hundreds of other, perhaps more interesting, menus for this week.

Due to Anna’s birthday party on Saturday, having houseguests for the weekend, Anna’s actual birthday yesterday, and knowing we have plenty of leftovers to get us through several days, I’m just now thinking about food for the week. The chicken, soup, and ham are already in the fridge so I don’t really have to cook until Friday!

Monday: Leftover fried chicken and biscuits, green beans

Tuesday: Vegetable beef soup, salad, cornbread

Wednesday: Grilled ham & cheese on sourdough, sweet potato wedges

Thursday: Vegetable beef soup, baked potatoes, French bread

Friday: Parmesan crusted chicken, green beans, salad

On Saturday David grilled a whole chicken, two flat-iron steaks, a batch of veggies, and some burgers, so we have most of that left to get us through the week. We froze the burgers and will pull them down as needed. If you’re grilling, always grill a lot—you can eat on it for several days and/or freeze some for later, and the majority of your cooking’s done!

Monday: Grilled chicken (pollo diablo), grilled mixed vegetables (see recipe below), baked sweet potatoes

Tuesday: Steak tacos, fresh fruit, chips & homemade salsa

I’m a little later than usual with this one because since it is a long weekend, today is more like a Sunday and I’m just now getting around to planning and making my grocery list. Last week we ended up going out on Friday and moving the baked ziti to Saturday, so there’s no grill food, but there’s leftover ziti for dinner tonight. This week I’m trying to make meals out of stuff I already have and buy as little as possible (which is probably what I should be doing every week). I think I only need a few things from the store!

Monday: Leftover baked ziti, green salad, French bread

Tuesday: Grilled ham & cheese on sourdough, potato wedges

Wednesday: Chicken rice casserole, green beans, bread

Thursday: same (except maybe change the veggie)

Friday: same

Saturday: Lemon-pepper chicken, potatoes & green beans (a Green Giant frozen thing I picked up cheap)

Sunday: Oatmeal-cinnamon waffles, scrambled eggs, sautéed apples

David grilled last night (we postponed it from Saturday to Sunday). When we grill, we make enough for about a week, hence the repetition you see here. We have guests on Tuesday, so I’m making my “company dinner” that night, then it’s back to the grill food. So it may not be a very interesting menu to read, but it sure is easy on me!

Monday: Chicken quesadillas, fruit

Tuesday (w/ guests): Roast chicken and potatoes, green beans, rolls

Wednesday: Grilled chicken sandwiches, sweet potato wedges

Thursday: Burgers, potato wedges

Friday: Chicken quesadillas, fruit

Saturday: Grilled chicken sandwiches, sweet potato wedges

Sunday: Burgers, potato wedges
