Fall is in the air, it's been much cooler here, only mid 60's most days.  I love fall, the leaves changing colors, the warm soups in the crockpot and jeans with sweaters.  I picked up 35 pounds of ground beef on sale for .99 cents a few weeks ago and browned most of it in the oven and put it in freezer bags.  So most of my recipes for this meal plan will be using up some of my ground beef and working with a smaller grocery budget.

2.  Grandma's Goulash 
3.  Small group night I bring dessert Eclair Dessert
4.  Easy Beef Enchiladas

Meal Plan March 26th-April 9th

I would love to meal plan for an entire month again but I just don't see that working for the next two weeks. I plan on doing it for the month of April and beginning of May though as things are going to get quite hairy around here with the Marriage Conference coming up! So here is my meal plan for the next two weeks, fairly simple as we are out of town this coming weekend and it's Spring Break for the kids when we get back. Easter is going to be "non-traditional" this year, no one really likes ham all that much in my family. You can check out my other meal plans I have saved as well.

Mar. 26th-28th Out of town, no meals!
29th Chili
30th Italian Bow Tie Pasta
31st Chicken Noodle Casserole
Apr.1 Easy Beef Enchiladas
2 Manicotti
3 chx on the grill
4 (Easter) Beef Roast, Red Potatoes mashed up with garlic, Spinach Salad
5. leftovers
6 tacos
7 Sausage Potato Soup
8 Pasties
9 Bugers on the grill

Meal Plan for Feb. 19th to March 12th

A great way to save money on groceries is to make a meal plan. You can meal plan for a week, two weeks, a month or even longer. I have usually done meal plans for every two weeks but last time I did a meal plan I made a monthly plan which was really to cover 28 days instead of 14 days. It has worked out pretty well, I have definitely not been in the grocery store as often and have saved money this way. I sat down and planned out meals based on our calendar and left a few days open for leftovers or eating out. Here is my meal plan for the past few weeks:

Tacos
Spaghetti
Upside Down Pizza
Meatball Subs
Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff
Brinner (Waffles & Pancakes)
Sausage Potato Soup
Tator Tot Casserole
Chicken Noodle Casserole
Roast with Cheesy Potatoes
BBQ Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes
Bruschetta Chicken Bake
Easy Beef Enchiladas with Spanish Rice
Stromboli
Sloppy Joes and French Fries
Frozen Fish with Rice-A-Roni
Fiesta Porkchops
Baked Chicken and Baked Potatoes
Grilled Cheese & BLTs
Chili in the Crockpot
Chicken Rice Soup
Shredded Beef Roast on Buns
