Menu Plan Monday - week 1

I have been trying to be more frugal about my grocery spending, and I have found that the only way to do that is to make a menu, grocery shop under budget, and stick to the menu. So, in the spirit of frugality, organization and accountability, I am starting a Menu Plan Monday, drawing inspiration from I'm an Organizing Junkie.

Here is the commencement of week one!

Monday 

I didn't do any grocery shopping last week, as I wanted to use up everything I have in my fridge and freezer. Now my fridge is almost empty and I won't be grocery shopping till much later (going to the Museum of Nature and Science). I have one huge butternut squash, so I am trying something new I pinned on Pinterest.

Tuesday


We have our Farmer's Market on Tuesday, so I'll be buying tons of veggies.

Zucchini and Chicken Rice Pilaf {Gluten Free}

Wednesday - 4th of July

We'll be having barbecue with the family in the evening, but during the day, I'll make a few pinterest inspired goodies.
