I know that's not a full month's worth of meals, but I suspect our schedule is going to be rather fluid this month so I'm going to stop there and see how things go. I'm also starting to look more into Once A Month Cooking and making meals ahead. I've done this more with breakfast foods than dinner foods in the past. I'll re-assess the menu as the month progresses.
Up for this week at Unfinished Mom's House:
(Breakfasts are mostly the same as last week because it just makes planning easier!)
Sunday:
D - various leftovers
Monday:
B - pancakes, fruit
D - Hamburgers w/ peaches, peas, corn
Tuesday
B - Oatmeal with various additions according to taste
D - Sesame Ginger Chicken in Crockpot w/ brown rice, mashed sweet potatoes, green beans
Wednesday
B - Creamed Chipped Beef over Whole Wheat Biscuits
D - Spaghetti
Thursday
B - Egg in a Hole or scrambled eggs, grits
D - Leftovers
Friday
B - Waffles & fruit
D - Sloppy Joes or Tacos
Saturday
B - going to try again to make this Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake
D - Parmesan Crusted PorkchopsLunches: as always will be dominated by leftovers along with turkey & cheese sandwiches, PBJs, applesauce, cantaloupe, bananas, canned peaches, carrot sticks

Did you get a box of those Panko breadcrumbs? I did, we had them on chicken tenders last wk and they were pretty good.
Looks like a great plan!

The twice baked potatoes can most definitely be made ahead and frozen. I'll try to find more details for you as to what point you would freeze them at and how to warm up when ready to serve. I am an extreme fan of OAMC.
Our teen would love it if I just serve the fried chicken skins twice a week. No, it's not happening in our house either!
I'm always looking for different meal ideas. That's why I love MPM.
You have a great week!
Hi! Another monthly menu planner! That is awesome. Sesame Ginger Chicken in a crockpot sounds yum! I have done the freezer meals before and have had success with it. It worked especially well when I had a new baby. I'd love to know how your are successful at it. Please join in again next week on the menu plan blog roll at Chivetalkin. I LOVE having you.
Hey, I've never done the twice baked potatoes in the freezer, but I am going to make loaded mashed potatoes to freeze this week because SuperFresh had 5 lb bags of russets bogo free. If they do well I'll post the recipe on my blog.
If you pull off OAMC, you're my hero...I've planned but never followed through.
