Friday is Pizza night – is one of our favorites! We LOVE pizza night!

We’ve also started Subway Sundays, too. One meal on Sundays is a bigger sit-down family meal, and the other (depending on our schedule for the day) is $5 Footlong subs from Subway. Our girls love Subway, and it gives me a little break, while still bringing in a healthy option for a meal!

Jennifer,

We are a family of 7 on one income, so meal planning is very important! We have a week of themes: Monday – Beef, Tuesday- Casserole, Wednesday – Soup/Sandwiches (we have Awana, so we have to keep the kids moving!), Thursday – Chicken, Friday – Leftovers, Saturday – Breakfast for Dinner (usually pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, french toast, sausages, or bacon combos), and Sunday is Crock Pot meal ready after church. Sometimes we institute Dagwood Bumstead Sandwich night during Soccer season for late dinner afterpractice. This way I only have to come up with 4 or 5 different beef entrees, soups, chicken entrees, casseroles, etc. I plan once a month for the whole month, and I can answer the dreaded question, “What’s for dinner, Mom?”

Hey Jennifer, long time no talk to. Since we began menu planning, we seldom eat out, we’re able to keep our calories down and our overall health is great. Menu planning is the only way to go.

So funny that you posted this! Just last night hubby and I were talking about a couple of themes we have.

We usually eat Pizza on Friday from Sam’s Club because that’s when I usually go there. So Friday is Pizza from Sam’s club – which makes my life easier.

Also we just started this one yesterday – Sunday is “One Scoop Sunday” from Cluver’s. Every Sunday we are going to get a yummy scoop of frozen custard from Culver’s – I’m really excited about this one.

I think the themes make it fun and also helps to give the kiddos something to look forward to.

Great post!
