Menu Plan March 16, 2009




Here is our plan for the week:

Monday: Homemade "Chipotle"

Tuesday: Broccoli Cheesy Rice with homemade cream of mushroom soup

Wednesday - Sunday: I'm heading out and leaving DH alone to feed himself. He'll probably eat through our supply of tortilla chips... He loves nachos (Campbell's Fiesta Nacho Cheese)!


Things we're taking with us: Corndog Muffins, Broccoli Apple Salad, Chicken Nuggets (similar to these -- only with regular potato chips and ground chicken), and probably a few more things. I'll try to remember to post them.
