Weekly Meal plan and Monday dinners

Here's the place to share your meal ideas for the evening or the week, post where you bought the ingredients frugally and even share a recipe if you would like.

If you need some inspiration for your own dinner tonight, this may give you some helpful ideas.

What's on your menu tonight?

Monday: Creamy pasta bake with shredded chicken breast, sauteed mushrooms and green peppers and cheddar cheese. Sides of salad and French bread.

We had this for dinner Sunday night and there is just enough left over for dinner Monday night. I used a can of Progresso creamy mushroom soup, about 1/4 cup of milk and 2 big spoonfuls of light sour cream for the sauce as well as lots of pepper and garlic powder to season it. Topped with crushed garlic butter croutons and parmesan. Baked at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes uncovered.

Soup & Sandwich night with Trader Joe's organic creamy tomato soup as well as Swiss and veggie burger melts on rye bread

Crab cakes, pasta salad, steamed carrots

Teriyaki shrimp on rice with stir fry mushrooms, onions and green peppers

Chicken tacos with all the veggie and sauce fillings and choice of flour tortillas or taco shells. Side of corn and baked apples for dessert (bought the apples for .69/lb at the new Food Lion on Cleveland Road neat Clayton)
