Menus for this week

I'm putting together my shopping lists and finally sat down to make a menu for the week. I'm trying to figure out if we should really stick to shopping every 2 weeks or go back to weekly with TJs every 2 weeks (I think dh would flip if he had to go every week!). Here is what I have for the next week:

Today:
breakfast - toast, yogurt, OJ or milk
lunch - mini bagel pizzas, fruit, water
dinner - pasta, bread and a salad, water

Weds:
breakfast - cereal, fruit, OJ or milk
lunch - sandwiches, chips, vege, water
dinner - chicken enchiladas, fruit, water

Thurs:
breakfast - waffles, fruit, OJ or milk
lunch - cheese, crackers, yogurt, fruit, water
dinner - bbq chicken sandwiches, fries, salad, water

Friday:
breakfast - toast, yogurt, OJ or milk
lunch - sandwiches, chips, fruit, water
dinner - pizza, fruit, soda (actually sparkling fruit juice... Friday night treat)

Saturday:
breakfast - cereal, fruit, OJ or milk
lunch - crackers, cheese, yogurt, veges, water
dinner - burgers, beans, veges

Sunday:
breakfast - pancakes, fruit, OJ or milk
lunch - sandwiches, chips, fruit, water
dinner - grilled chicken, rice dish, salad, water

Monday:
breakfast - toast, yogurt, OJ or milk
lunch - mac & cheese, fruit, water
dinner - mac & beef casserole, bread, veges, water

Tuesday:
breakfast - cereal, fruit, OJ or milk
lunch - sandwiches, chips, veges, water
dinner - eggs, potatoes, bacon, fruit and water

I do have water planned with most meals, however the girls may have chocolate milk depending on how much water they've had throughout the day. I have syrup on hand so it isn't really an issue. Planning out breakfast and lunch is new... usually I wing it, but I'm hopeful that if I have it planned out we can avoid eating cereal every day.

I'm planning to go blueberry and plum picking later this week unless the local farmers' market has beautiful berries and plums at a reasonable price... then I'll just stock up there and freeze the blueberries for later use this winter in pancakes, waffles, salads and whatever. I'm simply looking forward to some fresh plums!

How do your menus look for this week?
