    I am hoping the only thing I have to get at the grocery store this week is milk!

    It’s funny that every single time I see “chicken enchilada casserole” on someone’s plan, I think about how amazingly good it sounds. Yet it never makes it to my menu plan! I’m going to remember that this time.

    I will be finishing out my January meal plan this week. I’ve already begun my work on my February meal plan…maybe I will go ahead and put the enchiladas on there now. ;)

  • Jamie at Prepared to Eat January 28, 2013 at 10:17 pm

    Whoops, looks like my comment didn’t show up! Trying again, we are finishing up our January meal plan this week: http://preparedtoeat.com/monthly-meal-plan-january-edition/ (or you can just click on my name). :)

    Here are my menu plans for the week: http://kansaslife.wordpress.com/2013/01/26/menus-for-the-week-of-january-28th/
    Is it bad that I look forward to leftover night because it means I don’t have to cook? ;-)

  • Laura Rogers January 28, 2013 at 10:50 pm

    Your Menu plan looks yummy, especially that PB Banana Chocolate Chip Bread!

    Had a weird week with the menu last week. Had a great menu prepared, hardly stuck with it at all but I guess that is okay, flexibility right. Love chicken enchilada casserole, will probably make that this weekend. My son from college is home, he eats about 1/4 of a pan by himself. Good idea, thanks.

    Here is my menu for the week.

  • Sharla @ Slacker Saver January 28, 2013 at 11:53 pm

    Here’s my meal plan. I’ve already switched it a little, but at least I have all the ingredients in the house!

  • Shelly January 29, 2013 at 12:49 am

    This week I will be making a stretch meal with a whole chicken. I love it when I can cook once and eat twice. I call the second dish new overs, because my family doesn’t really care for leftovers. :)

    We will also be trying the Taco Potato recipe you posted about last week.

    Here is my menu plan for this week,

    • Trish January 29, 2013 at 12:54 pm

      I love it too. I did a whole turkey I bought right before Christmas for $.69 lb last weekend and have used it in about 8 different meals. Not counting lunches.

  • Jillian Kay January 29, 2013 at 05:19 am

    Wow, that banana bread really has it all. Yum!

    Here’s my menu. We’re in the final week of a pantry challenge:

    Just curious, when you have dinner with extended family, do you also cook for that or do you bring something, or is it at your house? Just wondering how you add all of that into the equation of meal planning, and budgeting. Or perhaps you do not take anything?

    • Crystal January 29, 2013 at 08:33 am

      We’re so blessed in that our in-laws and parents pretty much do all of the cooking! Occasionally, we bring something. But usually, they want us to come empty-handed. Yes, how amazing is that?!?

      • Carla January 29, 2013 at 09:02 am

        Yes, this is a blessing! :) Thanks for the reply.

  • marie January 29, 2013 at 06:53 am

    I spent the weekend preparing food for my little one’s second birthday and also for this coming week since I had surgery yesterday. I didn’t get everything made I wanted to but I have a friend coming today to help me and she’s going to finish my cooking. I will be on crutches for 4-6 weeks and my husband will be gone all next week. Thankfully we’ll have food I can just heat up.

  • Victoria January 29, 2013 at 08:33 am

    I pinned the brownie waffles and just might have to try them later today! They look amazing and the ingredients are simple.

  • Lisa January 29, 2013 at 08:42 am

    Thanks for sharing every week. Here is our plan:
