I've been doing menu planning for a long tme but last week was the first time I posted with Laura's Menu Plan Monday. I'm happy to stay week stuck COMPLETELY to the plan! We don't usually do that.
I just sat down and planned the next two weeks of dinners using my own "Pantry Challenge". I'm trying to keep the grocery shopping to a bare minimum and I'm actually excited about this week's list! Only 10 items and one is hubby's prescription med! I'll post my shopping list below. Thanks for hosting MPM, Laura!

Wednesday 5/28: Pancakes, Ham/Cheese Eggs, Hashbrowns
Thursday 5/29: Take Out (Dr. Appts)

I think picking up random things from the store is my budget killer. I need more self control! *L* Your menu looks good too. I love using black beans in burritos, it gives them such a nice flavor.
I agree with the above comment, extra purchases will kill the budget. Your menu sounds great. I love breakfast for dinner.

Looks yummy! We're having a clean out the fridge week too...
Only have 10 things to buy is pretty awesome! I'm trying new recipes this week so my grocery cart was pretty full yesterday. I ended up spending $95 (for a family of 5). Not too terrible, but still higher than I like.
Your menu looks great!
Sounds yummy! I notice you put olives on your pizza -- black or green? We love to add sliced green olives to our homemade pepperoni pizzas. Have a good week.
I'm due for a pantry week myself.
Great menu, thanks for sharing it!
