Weekly Meal Plan (May 3 - May 9) and To Do Lists

I decided I didn't need to go grocery shopping this weekend.  I still have most of what I bought last weekend!  So, this week's meals will be based on what I have on hand, in the fridge, in the freezer, and the pantry.

I took two sauted chicken breasts from the fridge, on Saturday, and had half of one, sliced, with salad for lunch; dinner was spaghetti. 

Sunday:
Brunch: Pancakes with strawberry jam
Dinner: Spaghetti

Monday:
Breakfast: Granola bar/yogurt
Lunch: Salad (lettuce, cucumber, carrots, sunflower seeds) with sliced sauted chicken breast; orange
Dinner: Rice, Polish sausage with leeks; pear

Tuesday:
Breakfast: Granola bar/yogurt
Lunch: Rice, Polish sausage with leeks; orange
Dinner: Salad with sliced chicken breast; caramelized apple slices with ice-cream

Wednesday:
Breakfast: Muffins
Lunch: Rice, Polish sausage with leeks; pear
Dinner: Rice, chicken stir-fry, spinach; orange

Thursday:
Breakfast: Muffins
Lunch: Rice, chicken stir-fry, spinach; orange
Dinner: Salmon, baked potato, green beans; ice cream

Friday:
Breakfast: Muffins
Lunch: Rice, salmon, green beans; orange
Dinner:  Leftovers/frozen taquitos; canned fruit (peaches)

Saturday:
Brunch: Pancakes and bacon, syrup or strawberry jam
Dinner: Rice, pork chops, broccoli; ice cream

Of course, the above meal plan is subject to change, depending on what I feel like cooking!

Yesterday, I started on my weekend to do list, but didn't accomplish all I had wanted to do.  So, today, I finished yesterday's list and did a little of today's list.  I got the "important" things done - the laundry, vacuuming, tidying the family room, running the dishwasher, paperwork, watering the garden and indoor plants, and weeding.  But I didn't do the "fun" items such as sewing.  Don't you hate when that happens?

Today's gratitude list:
- getting 8 hrs. sleep (rather than my usual 5-6 hrs.)
- ice cream on a warm afternoon
- cooking shows on TV
- having a house to clean
- having a garden to weed 

Tomorrow's to do list: 

- Drop off specimens at clinic - done
- Go to the office - done
- Go to the pharmacy - done
- Go to the bank
- Pay 2 bills - done
- Go to the post office to mail bills - done
- Go to the library on my way home to return a library book - done
- Empty waste baskets - done
- Take trash cans to curb - done
- Finish weeding 2nd flower bed
- Cook

 How was your weekend?  Do you have a mile-long to do list for Monday?

    1. Judy, it is sad when that happens. I need to better balance my work/fun ratio. You must be quite busy, too, getting everything done. Hope you have a reward, like an afternoon of sewing, planned.
