Monday means making a plan for the new week, as far as meals go. My days go smoother if I have made a plan. I can...

• set out meat to thaw in the morning for that evening's meal
• know in advance that we have all the ingredients on hand for all this week's meals (no last minute trips to the store)
• know in advance how much time I will spend each evening on the meal

• creamy baked chicken with pasta
  
• tuna cakes (made with stuffing) with some tuna I got for free this week at CVS (check out the CVS deals here)
  
• chicken cutlets with rice
• Thursday - serve meal at the rescue mission; leftovers served at home
  
• breakfast for supper (sausage links, waffles/pancakes/french toast, scrambled eggs)
  
• pita pizzas
  
• diced ham and pasta bake
