I must say you all have some very good stuff lined up. Mine consists mostly of Ramen and Tilapia. I don't have much time to cook during my work week, but I do love to find new stuff to try on my off days. Tilapia is so easy to prepare, season, and cook, not to mention it is cheap.

You could try to cook a couple main dishes on a weekend, then freeze them in portions for during the week. Or as a a few people here in this forum do, toss a lot of stuff in a crock pot, and let it simmer all day waiting for you to get home.

I have the time issue myself. I like to eat in variety, so I always take the time to make my own meals instead of ordering in. In the end it's about your personal health and as Bill Clinton learned, it's too late when you find out.

One thing I do all the time is that I have a salad at every meal.
 
Mon.
Beef stroganoff, salad

Tues.
Grilled Chicken and whole wheat pasta primivera

Asian Pork Chops, rice and spicy broccoli

I didn't know so many people had pre-determined meals. I just play it by ear. Usually on friday, saturday, or sunday, I will have pizza. That's as close as I come to having a schedule.
 
JKander, I usually play by ear as well, but lately have been trying to plan out some meals, so that I don't go to the grocery store everyday, which is what my husband and I have done in the past. So far this week I have planned:

Tuesday - chicken breast, stuffing, corn
Wedensday - Pot roast, salad and potatoes
Thursday - Three cheese tortellini w/ alfredo sauce
Friday - ?
 
I'd like an invite to your homes for dinner -- very tasty-sounding eats you have lined up, folks. :)

I don't really plan day-to-day. I follow a pattern though. We always have beef, chicken, fish, some sort of pasta, each week and leftovers thereof. I serve food from my "stash" in the freezer and cook some fresh. I always have a large container of lettuce in the fridge that has been washed and spinned so that anyone can read in, grab some and prepare a salad with some added protein. I make and freeze pizza crusts also, and have sauce made in big batches so pizzas is relatively easy to fix instead of ordering out, too.

I'm really impressed with everyone's menu planning. :)
 
It is a cheap week.
Sunday- Hamburger helper (cheesy enchiladas)
Monday- Turkey meatball subs
Tuesday- Out to eat ( happy meals are $1.00 and wings at Buffalo Wild are $0.39)
Wednesday- Oven bake Pork chops with green beans and Augratin potatos
Thursday- Tuna Buns
Friday- Chili, bean, and cheese burritos.
Saturday- Chili dogs
 
I'm not organized enough to have weekly menus. LOL We just buy food & I cook whatever I'm in the mood for that day.
 
I've Tried this menu schedule

I haven't been very good at cooking these big meals every week. We are in the middle of moving hopefully by the 12th of November and I would like to have 1 maybe 2 homecooked meals per week. We always have a box pizza night but we need to start eating more healthy.

Any suggestions on how to stick to these scheduled meals. I would love to do this but it never happens after one week.

My two week (hubby gets paid every 2 weeks & it's easier for us to go shopping payday than every week) menu is:

Sat: Zesty Chicken & Rice Skillet
Sun: Cheesy Meatball Skillet
Mon: Cheesy Ham & Rice Bake
Tues: Sloppy Joe Skillet
Wed: Parmesan Bow-Tie Skillet
Thurs: No-Fuss Tex-Mex Roll-Ups
Fri: All-in-One Pork Chop Bake
Sat (My birthday): Pizzas
Sun: Fiesta Chicken Pasta
Mon: Chicken Fried Steak
Tues: Brown Sugar Pork Chops
Wed: Better-than-Ever Beef Enchiladas
Thurs: All-in-One Pork Chop Bake (it was my daughter's idea to have this twice)
Fri: Weeknight Lasagna Toss

Now, we don't usually stick exactly to the menu. Like yesterday, since it was just me & the girls, I made some hamburgers instead of the meatball skillet. And tonight, I'm craving enchiladas, so we'll be having those now instead of next week. I try to stick as close to the menu as possible though. I may change what day I make something, but usually I make everything on my menu. :cool:

Tracy, what I've found to help me is to keep a copy of it posted on the freezer door so that I can see what package of meat to pull out & another one by the stove so that when I go to cook, I can see what I'm 'supposed' to make & get the recipe.
 
Sunday dinner out
Monday - Spagetthi, garlic bread and a salad
Tuesday - Roast with potatoes and carrots, salad
Wednesday - Mole enchiladas with rice
Thursday - Soup and Sandwichs
Friday - Steak, baked potatoe, corn and salad
Saturday - Dinner out

chicken & rice (sometimes with rotel, sometimes with just green peas)

These aren't in any particular order; just what I have to fix for the next week or so...

Beef and Broccoli w/ rice
Black Bean burritoes w/ spanish rice
Baked beans, mac & cheese, salad
Hamburger Helper, Corn
