Weekly Menu Plan January 21 to January 28, 2018

Busy, busy week ahead shuffling grandkids to all kinds of sports and music practices, meets, and games this week.  We are so blessed that they only live a few minutes from us, and that we can help out!  And it looks like we have many weeks like this from now until the end of March, when hopefully things will begin to phase out.

That means, though, that our afternoons are pretty full from 3:00 to 6:00, which really cuts out time to prep meals!  And we're OLD so we like to eat early! 


This week's meals will be either easy to make, made early in the day and reheated, or convenience foods.  I can handle that!  I like to cook and bake, but when I have a ton of stuff to do I LOVE convenience foods!  So here's a look at what's for breakfast and dinner this week:  (Details follow)


Breakfast Details:

Sunday - Pancakes from Gluten Free Bisquick mix

Monday - I use Luck's Brand fried apples, warmed with a little extra cinnamon and brown sugar

Tuesday - French Toast Sticks are frozen from Aldi's (my husband loves the cinnamon kind)

Wednesday - Breakfast Bagels are buttered toasted bagels (mine are Udi's gluten free), sandwiched with 2 fried eggs, 2 sausage patties, and a piece of American cheese; Instant oatmeal

Thursday - Southern Style Chicken Biscuits are Jimmy Dean's frozen

Friday - Amish Breakfast Casserole is from Can't Stay Out of the Kitchen and is gluten free (WOOHOO!)

Saturday - Cranberry Bliss Coffee Cake is from Let The Baking Begin, and I might make it gluten free, don't know yet; I always mix crushed pineapple into my cottage cheese to sweeten it up a bit

Dinner Details:

Sunday - Oven Baked Pork Chops are from Kitchme blog; Creamy Pea Salad is from Love Bakes Good Cakes; Chocolate Cupcakes are from a boxed cake mix and canned frosting (easy and fast)

Monday - Creamy Chicken Soup is a new recipe I never tried before, and I will share it if it's good (if it's not we will block it from our minds); 7 Up Biscuits are tried and true and I will post the recipe later this week, they are super easy; Cherry Cobbler is from All Recipes

Tuesday - Just regular hamburger patties topped with onion, cheese, and pickles;  I use frozen Easy Fries from Ore Ida, you just microwave them and they turn out pretty good!;  Baked Beans are from Sweet Little Bluebird and I will make them in the crockpot; Chocolate Cream Pie is from King Arthur Flour (I will use a purchased Pillsbury pie crust and just make the filling, topping will be Cool Whip)

Wednesday - Turkey Manhattans are very easy, just heat 1 to 2 pounds of thick-sliced deli turkey breast meat with 2 jars of Heinz turkey gravy in a large saucepan till it's nice and hot, serve open-faced over two pieces of good white or whole wheat bread, along side mashed potatoes (potatoes and sandwich have gravy poured over them); can't get much easier than that!

Thursday - Self-explanatory

Friday - Fish is frozen battered fish from Sams Club (I am eating plain fish filets with no batter); Coleslaw is from Dinner Then Dessert and is a KFC Copycat

Saturday - Crockpot Beef Stew is from Family Fresh Meals; the 7-Up Biscuits are the same as Monday's (I just have a taste for biscuits and I can make them gluten free)

That's it for what we will be eating this week!  Hope you found something you can use, or at least got some good ideas for what you'll be eating this week!
