After reading Meal Planning 101, I have been challenged (yet once again) to create a meal plan and STICK TO IT! So here goes...
Yes, I realize the week is almost over. But, today was payday so I did all my grocery shopping tonight. I am over-budget by $3.07...which I consider amazing considering all of the extra food and medicine we bought when the plague visited our house!

Can you tell us more about recipes for "spicy peanut chicken" and "oven quesadillas"? :)
mmmm sounds all good!
Can't wait to see the pics of the great food that you are going to have for the next 2 weeks!
OK - that kinda freaks me out to have things that well planned?? I tried writing all that down, but when it messed up because of ball games or other things, I didn't know what to do. SAD! I'm hoping to be a little more organized with meal planning, but I haven't been able to do it with such detail. I've stuck with just supper plans when I've done it, and I have to say it helps save money BIG TIME!
Let us know how it goes for you...

Wow, I'm so impressed! You're just jumping in head first and going with a 2-week plan, good for you. I once tried to do a one-month plan and was WAY too frustrated! I think I'll stick with my weekly ones :) And great job on getting everything on budget!
