Menu Plan Monday for March 16

I'm having a hard time getting organized for this week. First of all, I'm just not in the mood for anything in particular. And also I just went grocery shopping, and I have a ton of stuff to choose from. Plus I already have a fridge full of leftovers. (I know, it's usually a good practice to have the fridge cleaned out before going shopping, but I wanted to get it done today, and there was too much food to clean out in one meal, so....here we are.)

And then my husband is going out of town to an academic tournament this weekend, so that's two days that are basically open. (I don't really plan for anything when it's just me.)

Then my mom had a big cooking day and gave me a whole bunch of pork meat to take home, which sorta compounded the situation. Now the fridge is filled to capacity. (Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the extra food, especially pork. I love pork!) But when I have a lot of stuff to choose from, it makes it harder for me to plan for some reason.

I've placed a bunch of the pork meat in a ziplok and put it in the freezer for later, leaving out enough meat for two or three rounds of sandwiches. So the good news is that I don't have to cook anything for the next two days. Yay! Actually I'll only be cooking two or three times this week.

I love that there's less work...but it's so hard to make a structured plan on weeks like this. Does this make sense to anyone, or am I just strange?

Oh well, here's this weeks tentative plan...

Breakfasts: Carnation Instant Breakfast, cereal, toaster pastries, and muffins

Lunches: chicken & pasta (we have two leftover plates from Applebees), sub sandwiches, pork sandwiches, leftovers from dinner

Thursday - Sloppy Joes
Friday - Husband's out of town, so I'll be having something quick and simple.
