Have a great week!

PS-I really enjoyed the movie “Julie & Julia” from a blogging perspective…watch it!

Happy Monday!  This is a slightly crazy week for us, so this plan may change, but here is my proposed menu plan for the week:

MONDAY-brown rice & lentil casserole (I still haven’t tried this yet!), rolls, veggie

TUESDAY-cheesy beef stroganoff (x2 for the freezer), corn

WEDNESDAY-teriyaki pork roast (in the crock pot), mashed potatoes, salad

THURSDAY-south of the border chicken bake , green beans, yellow rice

FRIDAY-leftovers

SATURDAY-Parmesan pork chops, oven roasted potatoes, green peas

SUNDAY-Out with our small group…taking an appetizer and dessert…but what?

If a recipe isn’t linked, it will be a post after we try it.  Feel free to ask though if you want a recipe.

Another week, ya’ll!  Are you ready?  I think I am.  :)  I have 2 or 3 recipes from last week that I didn’t use that will probably be used this week, so if you see duplicates, that’s what happened.  How do I have all those leftover?  Well, even after I make my menu plan as the week unfolds, things change.  Like my husband was out one night, so we just had grilled cheese for dinner.  And Sunday nights, we never know if we’ll actually eat what is on the plan…its a crazy evening.  :)  Or sometimes we just have too many leftovers (is that just our family?) so instead of wasting food and throwing them out, we eat them for more than one night.

All that to say, here is our menu plan for the week:

MONDAY-bacon wrapped apple BBQ chicken in crock, mac n cheese, limas

TUESDAY-sweet & sour pork, rice, salad

WEDNESDAY-eggs, bacon, biscuits, fruit

THURSDAY-tortilla soup (from freezer), bread

FRIDAY-leftovers

SATURDAY-brown rice & lentil casserole, bread, salad

SUNDAY-hot dogs, fries, fruit or veggie

If a recipe isn’t linked, feel free to ask for the recipe, but most likely I will post it later.

Its Monday again already!  So, in week’s past, if I didn’t get to certain meals on my menu plan, I would just carry them over to the following week.  Well, last week, I didn’t get to recipes two nights.  Instead of carrying them over, I made them last week anyway and stuffed them in the freezer.  It is getting so well stocked! 

So, on to the menu plan for this week:

MONDAY-honey glazed chicken (from freezer), macaroni n cheese, veggie

TUESDAY-cheesy chicken & rice (in crockpot), veggie

WEDNESDAY-Leftovers

THURSDAY-tacos, yellow rice, corn

FRIDAY-spaghetti & meatballs (in the crockpot), garlic bread, salad

SATURDAY-sweet & sour pork (x2 for the freezer), rice

SUNDAY-Thanksgiving potluck with our MC
