Menu plan Monday - a day late

Hi friends!  I feel like I am constantly apologizing about not being consistent with my posting.  This time it had to do with snow, ice, and a wrecked car.  All persons involved in said accident are fine, but our car is not so fine.  Top that with finding out that we owe the government lots of money this year and it's been tough to get into a blogging groove.  I figured I would at least post our menu for the week, even though it's a day late. 

Monday - Pasta with meat sauce
Tuesday - Leftovers
Wednesday - Quinoa cakes served alongside spinach salad
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - Calzones with homemade sauce
Saturday - Lentil sloppy joes
Sunday - Leftovers

Breakfasts will be smoothies, muffins, cereal, and oatmeal.  Lunches will be more smoothies, leftovers and PB&J.

I am trying to make our grocery budget as lean as possible over the next couple of months as a result of our unexpected expenses.  I am hosting an event at work about healthy alternatives to Valentine's Day desserts, so I need to do a trial run for most of them.  That needs to be figured in my budget too.  It's going to be tough, but I am confident I can make it work.  :)
