What's for Dinner? January Meal Plan

This month I am being rather ambitious and not only meal planning for dinner, but breakfast and lunch also.  I've also been spending time on Pinterest looking up recipes to add in because I really don't want it to be boring.  One of my New Year's resolutions is to not shop at Wal-Mart.  I know, I know, Sam's Club is a part of the Wal-Mart corporation, but really they are not the same.  So I will be shopping at Target from now on.  I have one of those RedCard's so I get 5% off, bonus.  Target also has online coupons that can be combined with Manufacturer coupons, double bonus.  I'm not turning into an extreme couponer, but I am totally fine with saving money on the things I already purchase.  Besides if I am already meal planning and writing out a shopping list I might as well check to see if I have any coupons I can use.

Breakfast:

  • Cereal
  • Cream of Wheat
  • Oatmeal
  • Toast and Eggs
  • Pancakes
  • Yogurt and Granola
  • Add fruit to any and all of these

Lunch:
  • Leftovers (this is the main way I use my leftovers)
  • Peanut Butter and Jelly
  • Soup
  • Sandwiches
  • Add fruit and veggies to any/all meals

Dinner:
  1. Pizza with the Grandparents
  2. Ham and Beans with Cornbread
  3. Burgers and Homemade Baked Potato Fries*
  4. Roasted Chicken and Crock Pot Rice*
  5. Chicken Enchiladas*
  6. Breakfast for Dinner
  7. Homemade Pizza
  8. Crock Pot Chili
  9. Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwiches and Soup
  10. Crock Pot Baked Potatoes*
  11. Fish Sticks and Salad
  12. Toss it in Goulash*
  13. Mac and Cheese
  14. Crock Pot Chicken*
  15. Crock Pot Potato Soup*
  16. Homemade Pizza
  17. Crock Pot Lasagna*
  18. Leftovers!
  19. Crock Pot Barbecued Shrimp*
  20. Hot Ham and Cheese Sandwiches and Soup
  21. Roasted Chicken and Crock Pot Rice
  22. Chicken Enchiladas
  23. Crock Pot Ham and Beans
  24. Crock Pot Baked Potatoes
  25. Spaghetti and Salad
  26. Breakfast for Dinner
  27. Hamburger Helper
  28. Crock Pot Potato Soup
  29. Mac and Cheese

  31. Homemade Pizza
See all of those pretty little *'s?  Those are new recipes that I will share with you!  I've been totally inspired by Stephanie O'Dea and her 365 days of Crock Pot Recipes.  There are tons of recipes and I'm trying quite a few of hers this month.  She is completely brilliant.  

This month look for the above recipes, how I make shopping with four kids a learning experience, homemade hair conditioning treatment and later in the month some room remodels.  We are so lucky to have the BEST parents ever, who made us, that's right made us, a head board for our bed.  It is so beautiful and its inspired me to make our bedroom not a catch all, but an oasis.  Just a few more touches and I'll be there.
