Menu plan Monday and shopping trip totals

Okay so here I am a day late. Sorry, but with Kai's birthday things just got a bit busy and well here it is almost 10:00pm on Tuesday night and I am just getting to it. Went shopping today, the kids were out of hand so it did make me a bit rushed so maybe I wasn't as thoughtful as I could have been but still came in at a good number.

This week for breakfast we are relying on the old standby of cereal and milk, banana bread and melon and dad will make his usual big breakfast for us on Saturday. In fact that's what I went over budget on this week. Costco sells these amazing breakfast sausages (of course in a huge pack) and we were out. but with only 2 more Saturdays left with dad before he leaves till Thanksgiving I wanted to make sure we have all the necessary things. Lunch will be mostly sandwiches, chicken nuggets, salad for me and fruit.

Dinner

M - Turkey meatloaf never ate last week
T - Chicken chow mein (my recipe)from the freezer stash!
W -Crock pot potato chowder
TH - Crock pot lasagna
F - Big apple french toast casserole
S - Pizza
S - Tuscan beef stew
