It’s been a month now since I’ve been writing our menu. I must say this is a good habit. I don’t wake up every morning not knowing what to cook and I can go once a week to the wet market to buy everything I need. This little exercise saves a lot of my time and money and keeps my sanity.
For this week, I wanted to add a lot of vegetables in our diet. It was a conscious decision because well, I have two growing kids and it pains me whenever they say they don’t like to eat their veggies.
Here’s what on my menu this week:
Breakfast Lunch/Dinner Merienda
Monday Tapa Chicken Curry ginataang bilo bilo
Tuesday Hotcake Ginisang Sayote Palitaw
Wed Macaroni Soup Fried Chicken & Patola w/ Sotanghon
Thursday Hotcake Ginisang Repolyo & Okoy
Friday Hotdog Spaghetti
Notice that I didn’t have anything planned for the weekend. The reason was our weekends are erratic. We sleepover at my in-law’s house so we could attend service in our regular church. Sometimes we cook food there but sometimes we eat on the road, depending on where we were at mealtimes.
Good mix of meat and veggies there
Hmmm maybe I should start writing a menu as well to keep track of what my family is eating.
good menus and nice idea to have a weekly menu, you don’t fret on what to cook..
It’s great to read that you have your menu planned out for the week. I think I should do that too as it will certainly help me to be more organized during grocery shopping days.
it seems your breakfast menus are light. How about oatmeal?
Yay! We used to have a weekly menu but then since Daddy and I are so busy, plus the veggie prices gone high because of typhoons, we stopped doing it na. But hopefully we can make it again because it saves us time.
We are a family of three… but unfortunately, I am not an ideal mom of the house. My son had been used to NO breakfast ever since he was little. Sometimes, we would be having dinners from Jollibee and KFC! But now, my family clamors for vegetables!!! A very good change!
i never get to do something like this… we’re always impromptu… and i dont worry kasi lagi pa ring fish and veggies hehe
I don’t make plan menu for the week, come what may na lang kung ano available sa ref yun na rin lulutin.
I think im gonna do this too. Have a weekly menu at the start of the week para mas organized ako during the week. Great idea Mommy Paula.
Pwede dumalaw sa Tuesday? That’s one of my favorites kasi, hehehe! Visiting from CommEx 10/30.
Your choices are great! We also have a menu plan before going to the grocery. It usually saves time and money (no buying extra stuff). I’m free from kitchen-duties on weekends as well! =)
Nice touch on the menu. Same lunch and dinner sa bahay ninyo? Di pwede sa amin. Picky eaters and I live with senior citizens ha. Naku!
