Sweet Bean's Meal Plan

  This is the first of hopefully MANY meal plans. I'm hoping by figuring out ahead of time what we'll be eating for the week that it will help us save money, lose weight, and stop the notorious..."What's for dinner?" question! I'm going to be linking up to Menu Plan Monday over at orgjunkie.com You can find some wonderful stuff over there from tons of bloggers!
  My schedule as a full time nurse makes food difficult period. I envy (I know I shouldn't) those moms who can stay at home and cook. Right now my schedule is hectic, to say the least. I'm suppose to work 9am-7pm 4 times a week, but sometimes I'm pushed back and other times I'm there way past 7pm. *Sighs* I'm praying God will show me what I should be doing and praying even more that he'll provide me with a job that I can see my lil bean more often and have a more set schedule. Anyways...here's this weeks plan:
