My May Meal Plan

May? What?

How did that happen?

I lost the first half of April because I relapsed and ended up sick again.  The girls too.  So needless to say our meal plan literally fell by the wayside.  None of us had much of an appetite and nothing sounded good.  Plus none of us had the energy or inclination to cook.  We lived off of soup, toast, eggs and oatmeal and all the little things I had tucked away in our freezer that could easily be reheated.

Cheddar Cheese Omelet

The last half of the month was better and we rallied.  I plan to do much better in May.  This is what I plan to feed my lovely family this month:

Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy & Green Beans

Pork Verde Burritos, Spanish Rice, Lettuce Wedges

Cheese Omelets, Toast, Fresh Fruit

Clam Chowder, Biscuits, Garden Salad

Mushroom Hamburger Gravy, Steamed Rice, Green Beans

Hamburgers, Lettuce & Tomato, Onion Rings

Ham & Bean Soup, Cornbread, Garden Salad (didn't make this last month)

Broccoli Lasagna, French bread, Caesar Salad

Turkey Avocado Sandwich, Potato Chips, Pickles

Breakfast Burritos, Fruit Salad

Beef Tacos, Lettuce & Tomatoes, Salsa (didn't make this last month)

Sloppy Joes, Tater Tots, Veggies & Dip (didn't make this last month)

Tomato & Rice Soup, Cheddar Bread, Spinach Salad

Beef Stroganoff, Egg Noodles, Steamed Broccoli

Chicken & Pasta Bake, Buttered Peas (didn't make this last month)

Veggie Quiche, Sliced Pears

Chicken Garlic Pizza, Caesar Salad (didn't make this last month)

Vegetable Beef Soup, Dinner Rolls, Tossed Green Salad (didn't make this last month)

We'll have two special meals in May as well:

Mother's Day

Steak & Shrimp

Baked Potatoes

Caesar Salad

Dinner Rolls

Strawberry Shortcake

Memorial Day

BBQ Chicken

Pasta Salad

Veggie Tray

Corn

Jell-O Poke Cake

I'm really looking forward to my Mother's Day meal.  As usual meal plan includes that I make pretty much everything from scratch.  I'll make bread and rolls, salad dressings and a few desserts.  Not only do these things taste better but it save us a significant amount of money on our budget.

I have a lot of fresh fruit and veggies planned and we will take full advantage of our farm fresh eggs as they will play a major part in several meals throughout the month.  We will have milk and Brita filtered water to drink with our meals too.  Ice water is my preferred beverage.  We rarely drink soda anymore and juice in small amounts.
