Menu Plan–October 2

Part of making cooking from scratch work for our family is planning a menu each week.  We plan meals based on (1) our time schedule, (2) what’s on sale each week, and (3) what we have on hand that needs to be used.  These three simple guidelines help us so much in planning what we’ll eat each week. 

Last week, I made our favorite roasted garden veggie lasagna on Sunday night.  For just Frog Prince and I, that dish lasts us nearly all week for leftovers. 

And, with how busy this past week ended up being – it was a welcomed gift to have a few dinners off from cooking! 

We also ended up eating:
