I often diverge from my menu plan, but having one is decidedly better than not. So here is my first time to share with the world what's (probably) for dinner this week:
Monday:
- Chicken kebabs
- Steamed rice
- Sauteed Vegetables
- Cucumber salad
Tuesday:
- Sloppy Joes
- Potato Salad
Wednesday:
- Scallop risotto
- Sauteed zuchinni
- Tossed salad
Thursday:
- Venison steaks
- Pita with hummus
- Okra
Friday:
- Chicken Parmesan
- Sauteed zucchini
Saturday:
- Fried rice
- Shrimp or fish
These meals usually come in at around $5 or less, even the scallop risotto (I will only spend $4-$5 for 1 lb. of small scallops). We sometimes do splurge on wild caught salmon or lamb. Our kids absolutely love to eat both of these, and so do my husband and I!
I've also recently become enamored with free menu planning resources, which I reviewed in the article "Zero Cost Menu Planning." Last night I enjoyed my pizza topped with fresh basil leaves from my garden, an idea I gleaned from one of the menu calendars. Variety, here I come!

How do you fix your vension steaks? I have a freezer full and am always looking for new ideas.
I love sloppy joes but think I am going to try them with ground turkey the next time I make them.
We're simple folk when it comes to meat. Usually we just sprinkle on a fair amount of garlic salt on the steaks and grill or broil them. I've also used a bit of seasoning salt on occasion, but it can overwhelm the flavor of the meat if too much is added.
