Weekly Meal plan and Monday dinners

Here's the place to share your meal ideas for the evening or the week, post where you bought the ingredients frugally and even share a recipe if you would like.

If you need some inspiration for your own dinner tonight, this may give you some helpful ideas.

After 31 hours without power this weekend, I am pleasantly surprised that most of the fridge and freezer food survived because I bought a bunch of big bags of ice. So thankfully I will not have to completely restock. Of course, that also means that the cost of the food just went up, but it would have been much more expensive to replace it completely.
