JUNE?! Say what? Not only is it June but we’re already 3 days into the month. Cah-razy. We finished up our end of the year school stuff and I thought the first day of Summer Vacation would be a breeze. I thought wrong. I didn’t even get to *start* my To-Do list until 2:30 pm because I was running the girls all over town. Hopefully everyday this summer won’t be like today or I’ll lose my mind. All the same, I need to sit down for a few minutes this afternoon and hash out this week’s meal plan. If I don’t have a plan, I know I’ll fail when it comes to best using our resources, money, and time without a meal plan. I don’t always follow our meal plan to a T but there’s a relief in knowing that we have all of the items to make meals all week long that we need. That way, we use the groceries we have and stay out of the drive thru {obviously saving money!}

Don’t forget I have a newly designed Meal Planner to help you in your meal planning and grocery list endeavors.

Without further ado, here’s what’s for dinner on the Royal Table this week:

Monday:
Pop’s Burgers from Hampton’s {YUM}
Green Beans
Carrots
Fresh Picked Strawberries from our Garden {YUM}

Tuesday:
Bacon & Egg Sandwiches
Sweet Potato Fries
Apple Crumble or Grapes

Wednesday:
We’re having guests! YAY.
Pulled Pork
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Salad & Fresh Veggies
Homemade Ice Cream with Strawberries {it’s a good crop this year!}

Thursday
Dinner with Our Life Group
We’re providing Little Caesar’s Pizza & Drinks

Friday:
Leftovers & Stovetop Popcorn

Saturday:

Lunch:
Leftovers or Lunch Out

Dinner:
Grilled Chicken
Grilled Peaches
Red Potato Salad
Strawberries with Homemade Granola

Sunday:

Lunch:
Leftovers

Dinner:
Homemade Pizza
Salad
Fresh Fruit & Veggies

Planning meals was definitely one of the biggest keys for success in our paying off over $127K in debt. Often I swap days or side items to make our menu plan work but the main purpose is to make sure I have everything on hand I need for meals throughout the entire week. The less you go to the store, the more money you save!

What are you having on your Royal Table this week?
