Well, I might have gone off the plan just a little bit, but, it worked out well enough, I think.  

Moving on to Week 3 (July 14 - 20):  

I checked my freezer and I am nearing the end of the chicken and meat I had bought and frozen.  I will be on the look out for sales on chicken and meat.  I have bread, vegetables, and fruit in the fridge.  Plus plenty of eggs.  But, I might need to buy some milk.  

In any case, the upcoming week's meal plan is based on what I have on hand:

Brunches: Egg salad sandwiches; Tuna salad sandwiches; Uppuma (Indian style cream of wheat), fruit salad and/or yogurt; salads  waffles or pancakes? 

Dinners: Yellow rice, chicken curry, pappadum, tomato chutney; Breakfast for dinner (scrambled eggs, ham, toast or fried potatoes), ham fried rice, ramen noodles with chicken and vegetables, hamburger patty with oven baked potato wedges and salad, Leftovers and/or something different.

How about you?  Are you meal planning this week?

    1. Thank you, Linda. Some weeks, the meal planning works out well. Other weeks, I tend to go off the plan, but, that is fine, too. :)
