Saturday - Menu Planning and Shopping

Your week starts on Saturday because that is your day that you prepare for the next week.  Tomorrow is Sunday.  You want to have a nice Sunday dinner on the table with the freshest of ingredients.
This is a great day to do your planning and shopping for the next week.  Tonight's dinner can be a joint effort between the two of you.  A cook out, a dinner party, or just an easy deli selection from your grocery.  It all depends on when you do the shopping.
If you have your list already made out, then it will be an easy task to run to the grocery first thing Saturday morning. The traffic is almost nil and the food is fully stocked and ready for the weekend.   Another added benefit- your family probably won't even know you left, they will all be snoring away, or watching their favorite Saturday cartoon.
Ideas for Menu
Saturday- This week we are picking up a Rotisserie chicken at the deli. Or you can bake my BBQ Chicken.  It will be a great meal with baked potatoes.  Add some fresh veggie, like stir-fry  zucchini or broccoli salad and you have an amazing meal.
Sunday- A great time to go out to eat after church.  Then in the evening you can dowraps with the left over sliced rotisserie chicken.
Monday- Roast beef in the crock pot
Tuesday- Fish - Talapia   Japanese Salmon    Italian Fish
Wednesday- Italian  Red Pepper Sauce    Italian Red Sauce
Thursday- Asian   Pho Noodle Soup   Tom Kha Gai    Cashew Chicken
