Amanda @ The Fun Mommy says
I planned a week of my husband’s favorites, because he’s going to be on a “staycation” at home this week!

Kara M says
This may be a crazy question, but most every week you post one lunch as a Snacky lunch–what does that look like in your house? Every week I wonder that, so this week I decided to ask. 🙂
Crystal says
Just things like veggies, fruit, cheese, crackers, hard boiled eggs, granola bars, etc.

Maria says
I have recently started weekly meal planning and its so much easier!! But I too have been to Cracker Barrel this week. Love their food!
Katie says
We’re keeping our meal plan simple this week. I made those pumpkin crescent rolls and they were such a huge hit so then I modified the recipe to make a more savory crescent roll {with veggie pasta sauce, mozarella, and pepperoni inside!}. So delicious!
Analisa says
Thanks for all the pumpkin posts, I can’t ever get enough Pumpkin!!!

Michelle @ Willing Cook says
My meal plan post this week has a spotlight recipe for Sweet-n-Spicy Crockpot Chicken that is easy, delicious and healthy! We love Asian-inspired dishes and this one was great.

Over the weekend, we tried another pumpkin pancake recipe you said was fantastic from How To: Simplify. They were fantastic especially with chocolate chips. I’d love to know how the recipe you’re trying this week turns out.

Here’s our menu plan for this week:

No pumpkin, although I’d love to start adding it to our menu. I’m curious: what is considered a good price for canned pumpkin, and where the best place is to buy it?
Crystal says
I’ve not checked Aldi this year, but they tend to have the best price. I had some stocked up from great deals last year!
Courtney says
Our Aldi (in Saint Louis, Missouri) has cans of pumpkin for $0.99. But they also have large pumpkins on sale this week for $2.49 each, and the ones at our store were 10-15 pounds easily. Last year you inspired me to bake my pumpkins and freeze it. Much cheaper than the canned version! 🙂
September says
I think this every time I read through your menu plans, but I just have to come out and say it–you have SUCH light eaters, I’m jealous! Breakfast in our house is a meal…if I tried to serve them a bowl of cereal they’d look up and ask what was coming up after the appetizer! Ditto for lunches! And mine are only 6 & 9–I’m scared to think of what the teenage years will be like.
Crystal says
Haha! Well, sometimes it’s 2-3 bowls of oatmeal. 😉 And my son has two breakfasts — one as soon as he gets up and the other when his sisters get up.
The other day the three of them ate a whole watermelon for lunch. Granted, it was a small watermelon. But still… I’m not sure where they put it sometimes!
Crystal @ Serving Joyfully says
Here is our frugal weekly meal plan with some recipes linked in there as well. http://www.servingjoyfully.com/2012/10/08/our-frugal-meal-plan-108/
Thanks for posting yours. Those pumpkin crescent rolls look great!

Shelly says
My family likes breakfast for dinner too. Although I don’t work it into the menu near enough.
This week we are having quite a few meals from our freezer for dinner. I made up a recipe for chicken pot pie filling to freeze and I also am trying a few new freezer recipes with pork chops. So this week the dinners are partly made before I start. Well as long as I remember to get them out of the freezer.
Here is our full menu for this week,

Alicia says
We had the new steak recipe tonight, and it is definitely a keeper!

I also made your Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffins yesterday to toss in the freezer. I snuck one before I froze them, and they are great! 🙂
Andrea says
You should try green smoothies since you make smoothies anyway! Also, I’ve been making pumpkin pie oatmeal for the only other family member that likes oatmeal in my 6 person family, and it is so delicious! (If you’re looking for something to do with your pumpkin)
Crystal says
We love green smoothies! https://moneysavingmom.com/2012/06/4-weeks-of-frugal-family-fun-green-smoothies-sidewalk-chalk-snow-treasure-and-a-game-of-old-maid.html
And Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal has gone over fairly well here: https://moneysavingmom.com/2012/10/pumpkin-pie-oatmeal.html
Andrea says
Ah! I missed the green smoothie post during the frugal family fun series. Oops!
Melissa says
I am loving your pumpkin series. I stocked up on clearance pumpkin last January, and now I am going to put some of it to use. Here is our menu plan for the week:

Laura @ Inspiration for Moms says
It going to be a busy week out our house, so I planned simple meals. Mom can’t do everything all the time, right?!

Have a great week everyone! 🙂
