Menu Plan

Last week's menu plan was an awesome success.  I didn't always eat everything in order, but we stuck to the plan and stayed with in budget.  This week was a huge pork sale at the grocery store.  Pork was half price, so I bought a huge 7 pound loin, and a roaster to make pulled pork out of.  We're not typically such heavy pork eaters, but the deal was too good to pass up.  We decided to cut up the big 7 pound loin into 3 pieces, roughly 2 and a quarter pounds each.  That boils down to just about 8 bucks a meal for meat for a family of four.

Let's hope we can do it again!


Monday: Shepherd's Pie

Tuesday: Pulled Pork, with a side salad

Wednesday: Cubed steak with capers (we didn't get to it last week), sautéd mushrooms

Thursday: Garlic Balsamic Pork Loin, with roasted carrots (I want sweet potatoes, but I can't just yet!)

Friday: Leftovers!

Saturday: Citrus Pork Tenderloin

Sunday: Leftovers!


Shopping List:
1 pound of ground beef
carton of eggs
celery
Pork, pork, and more pork
