Fourth of July Meal Plan

This would be so much easier to write if I had any idea what we're going to do this weekend. Do you do that? If I plan a meal for every meal, we'll end up going places and missing meals, thus leaving the food to go to waste. If I don't plan and shop for meals, we'll end up going out for meals we can't afford and don't really want. Things are also a little complicated by the fact that Jason and Lori are coming for the weekend and I don't know when they'll be here and when they won't. Jason's being a vegetarian makes meals tricky, not knowing when they'll be here makes it hard to plan. I am glad they'll be here though, and will thoroughly enjoy having them here whenever it works out. Then, there's the fact that we're watching Matt & Lily for three or four days next week. Again, not precisely planned, so hard to meal plan for. Ack! I'm definitely someone who likes a plan and being unscheduled and on a budget is hard for me.

Anyhow, here's my plan. Here's hoping it's yummy, easy, and doesn't go to waste. :)

Friday: Grilled pizza
Saturday--we're going off on some adventure. I'll plan on packing lunches to take with us, subs or pb&j.
Saturday dinner--quick and easy in case we're traveling home, also it needs to be freezable in case we end up eating out: brats, meat sticks for J&J, chips, fruit
Sunday lunch--Grilled Chicken Salads, bread
Sunday dinner: picnic on the village green
Monday lunch--Mark has the day off, we may have Matt & Lily: Cheeseburgers, (salmon for Jason?), corn on the cob, watermelon
Monday dinner: BBQ ribs, potato wedges, cornbread, veggies
Tuesday: Asian Chicken wings, fried rice
Wednesday: Mexican Pizza
Thursday--French Toast

So, do you need a plan or are you good at flying by the seat of your pants? Whichever, have a wonderful weekend.
