Menu Plan 7.9.10

I really haven't had much motivation to cook lately. I have been cooking, but I haven't enjoyed it. Instead it's felt like drudgery. Our menu for the last month and a half has looked pretty much like this: burgers, brats, eat out, spaghetti, tacos, fish tacos, eat out. Lather, rinse, repeat.

We've eaten out way too much lately. Way too much. I'm trying to get back on track and I plan to eat every meal at home for the next two weeks. Wish me luck.

Here's my menu plan:

1. Burgers | sweet potato fries | corn on the cob
2. Brats | hot dogs | chips | beans
3. Chicken parmesan | salad
4. Turkey piccata | couscous | salad
5. Pizza | salad
6. Pancakes | sausage
7. Red and black bean bake | salad
8. Burgers | chips
9. Corn and tomato tart | salad
10. Chicken stir fry | rice
11. Steak with bleu cheese | asparagus | salad
12. BLT sandwiches | chips
13. Hot ham and cheese sandwiches
14. Fresh veggies and cornbread
