Meal Planning Monday!

This week is SUPER easy and super inexpensive as my goal for 2009 is to spend way less on groceries... and seeing as the kids are in a picky phase (i.e. toddler-hood) they don't each much anyway. This week I am going to take basics and dress them up a bit with super fresh ingredients so that the kids are happy with the "basics" and the parents are happy with great tastes.

Monday: White Chicken Chili (this never got made late last week, so I am carrying it over) - I just LOVE this recipe. I'm going to serve it with cornbread (likely from the box...)
Tuesday: Panini's with tomato soup
Wednesday: Tacos, the usual meat and cheese for kids and veggie overload for adults! Yum!
Thursday: Kid night, my husband and I have found it nice to do a "kiddie" meal one night early, then after the kids go to bed have an adult meal. This night coincides with Grey's Anatomy! So it will be a good night for it! Trader Joe's Indian likely for the parents!
Friday: Fancy Pizza's... last weeks was a huge hit with homemade crust, and three different pizza's... one with plain cheese for the kids, one with fresh mozz and pesto and one with goat cheese and red peppers sauteed in garlic. These were so amazingly good and simple!

What's on your menu this week?
