August Menu - Update

If you ever wonder why I don't plan a daily must-stick-to-it menu, here are a few examples...
Since the beginning of August,
1) Post-VBS, hubby insisted that I not cook that night. He said, "I will order and pick-up pizza or Chinese, which do you want?" He ordered enough that it provided 3 meals worth!
2) We were out of town 2 days.
3) He had unexpected meetings which kept him away at dinner time twice.
3) We had 2 unexpected events that took over our dinner time. One to which I contributed a side-dish, the other was a celebration for which we went out to eat.

So, at this point we haen't used a huge amount of our August Menu Plan. Here's where we are so far...

• Hamburgers on the grill x2 x1
• Steak on the grill x2
• Lemon Pepper Chicken Breasts - in the Slow Cooker
• Sesame Ginger Chicken Breasts - in the Slow Cooker
• Slow Cooker Pork Roast
• Beef Roast in the Slow Cooker
• Spaghetti x2 1x
• Pizza x2 (using this dough and this sauce)
• Sloppy Joes
