Menu plan Monday and shopping trip

So we are still winging it for most of our dinners and I am noticing that I usually ave left overs since Brian is not here eating too. So Menu's have been thrown out the window and we are eating mostly what we have on hand and using the weekly budget to stock up and some treats for ourselves. I also picked some great deals on bananas so am doing some holiday baking for way cheap!
