Menu Plan Monday

This week has a couple carry-overs from last week that we never made...

• Chicken stir-fry with rice
• Pasta with meat sauce, veggie
• Chicken in the crockpot - not sure on the sides yet
  
• Ham, mashed potatoes, veggie
• I plan to make bean & ham soup either Friday or Saturday.  I need to find a recipe and then make sure I have all the ingredients on hand.
• Saturday night we have a birthday party to attend, so dinner will be pizza at the bowling alley
  
• Eat out

Menu Plan Monday

 It has been a few weeks since I posted a menu plan!  I have still been doing them most weeks, and boy-oh-boy, when I don't, we sure do end up eating out a LOT more often...

Here is what we have coming up this week:

• Diet Coke Chicken, rice, veggie, rolls - making that as I type! :)
  
• Turkey burgers, baked potato fries, veggie
• Sloppy joes over mashed taters, veggie
• Pasta with meat, veggie
  
• Chicken stir-fry, rice

Menu Plan Monday

Here is what I have on schedule for this week:

• Diet Coke Chicken, rice, green beans
• Chicken Parmsean, rolls (we had this last night)
• Stuffed chicken breasts, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies.  For the stuffed chicken breasts, I think I am just gonna slice 'em in half the long way then stuff with Stove Top, and maybe a bit more on top, maybe cover with some gravy.  Do you think that will work?
  
• Turkey burgers, oven fries, corn
• Eat Out on Friday night

I am loving Menu Plan Monday.  It really helps keep me on track and not have to play the "Uh...what are we having for dinner?" "I don't know, what do you want?" "I don't know, what do we have?" game with Joe.  Worst.Game.Ever!  :)

Here is what I have planned for this coming week, in no particular order.  Thursday we will be at my Mother-In-Law's for Thanksgiving dinner and Friday we will be eating out.

• Southwest Roll-Ups, Spanish rice (I am out of the box stuff-gonna try to make my own-any recipes out there?), refried beans
• Ham, scallopped potatoes, rolls, brocolli (never made it last week)
  
• Chicken burgers, oven fries, soup
• Diet Coke chicken, rice, green beans
• leftovers

Here is the line-up for this week!  As usual, some carry-overs from last week because we didn't make them - last week turned into a few hodge-podge meals, like fish sticks because the pork chops I wanted to make had FREEZER BURN!!  I did make my own tartar sauce that was delish though, check it out HERE.

• Chicken stirfry with rice
• Roast in the crock pot - need to find a good sauce or something-any suggestions?, some kind of potato, veggies
• Chicken parmasean
• Egg Bake (not sure of the recipe yet)
• Ham, mashed potatoes, veggie
• Leftovers!

Menu Plan Monday

I have hardly even thought of a menu plan yet this week!  I've been just trying to catch up with things since we were gone Friday-Sunday.  I'm getting closer. :)

Here is what I have rolling around in my brain for this week-easy stuff so I can focus on getting caught up with life again.

• Eat out
• Turkey or chicken burgers with baked fries and corn
• Chicken stir-fry with rice
• Diet Coke Chicken with rice and green bean casserole.
  
• I am 99% certain we have pork chops in the freezer.  So, pork chops in the crock pot, using this recipe.  Sided with some mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole (should last us 2 meals easily).
• Leftover buffet.  My favorite.  lol

I had this ready on Sunday and forgot to post it.

So, what's new?! :)

Lots of carry-overs from previous weeks that never got made:

-Chicken Stir-fry or Orange Chicken and rice.
-Chicken Sandwiches with oven baked fries.
-Chicken quesadillas with spanish rice.  However, I just realized I don't have any salsa left.  Hmm.
-Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and rolls  (SUPER easy meatloaf, I will share recipe in a future blog!)
-Pasta of some sort.
-Godfather's Pizza.  This will be on the 30th since our church's Harvest Party starts at 6:00 pm.

It is SUNDAY, and I'm doing Menu Plan MONDAY!  Shocker!!!  I'm ahead of the game.

(but only in this department, you don't even want to see my kitchen...)

Today is my first week as a Stay At Home Mom.  I'm hopefully going to stick closer to the plans than in previous weeks. :)

Here is what I have in mind for this week:

-Southwest Roll-ups with spanish rice and tortilla chips (thanks Money Saving Mom for the recipe!)

-Turkey sloppy joes with mashed potatoes (hubby made mashed potatoes that are soooo good.  We froze a bunch too!) and veggie

-Chicken burgers with baked potato fries and veggie

-Chicken stir-fry with rice (or maybe I will do Orange Chicken.  I've been meaning to, for a surprise for hubby, but haven't yet!)

-Eggs, bacon, pancakes, fried potatoes

-Eat out

-I am near certain I have a pot roast in the deep freeze.  If so, pot roast in the crock with baked potatoes, veggie.  If we don't...uh...well...perhaps Chicken Parmesan!

Lots of chicken.  I am hoping turkey and ham goes on sale soon. :)

Menu Plan Monday

Once again, Tuesday is here, and I'm just getting this posted.  However, I did have it done on Sunday! :)

This is a light week.  It's my last week of work, and my hubby wants me to take it easy on the homefront.  I'm not arguing with that!

-Eat Out

-Chicken stir fry with rice

-Turkey burgers (or chicken sammiches) with oven baked fries.  I think this has been on my plan for the past 3 or 4 weeks, but we haven't made 'em yet!

-Eggs, bacon, pan fried potatoes.  Possibly in a skillet format with cheese melted on top for hubby.

-Frozen pizza

The rest of the week will probably consist of left-overs, or eating out.

Next week, I hope to start more exciting cooking and trying some new recipes, like this Olive Garden Salad that Kathy posted on her blog!  Yumm-o!

Menu Plan Monday

Here we are, it's already Tuesday and I'm just figuring this out.  However, I'm a step ahead from last week where I never did figure it out...at all!  Lots of random comments here...and lots of potatoes from the deal I got last week at Econo.

--Eat Out - this was done last night.  We used a coupon! :)

--Stew in Crockpot - tonight
(chuck roast, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, beef bullion on low from 8ish am until whenever we get home!)
Perhaps some bread, or rice, or......something on the side....?

--chicken sandwiches
oven fries
veggie

--pasta with chicken  - probably Thursday (never made it from a few weeks ago...this quite possibly might end up being a new take on "Favorite Hotdish" with chicken instead of beef.  if so, and successful, i'll post the recipe later.  if not, i'll still post the recipe anyway of the good 'ol "Favorite Hotdish" with beef.)
garlic bread
veggie

--chicken in crockpot (not sure what recipe yet...) - probably Wednesday night (we never did orange chicken either....i wonder if I can swing this in the crock.  hmmmm...I'll try to post whatever recipe I decide on later today/tomorrow)
baked potatoes (or rice maybe?)
veggie

--breakfast pizza? (i'm wanting to figure out how to do this, haven't looked up a recipe yet!)
hashbrowns

Yummy...is it snack time yet?

Menu Plan Monday

From the many blogs I read, I have noticed a good number of the writers participate in OrgJunkie's Menu Plan Monday.  Since I already menu plan, I thought why not join in on the fun and make Monday my official day to share with you?  It's always fun to share meals and read others meal ideas to expand my horizons a bit--perhaps you'll find a new meal to expand your family's array of dishes!

Here are the dishes I have set for this week...I usually don't apply them to a certain day:

• Tuesday night we do have a set meal...we are having friends over for a church conference being broadcast from Michigan, so we'll take advantage of Godfather's Pizza's "Top it Tuesday" deal and buy a couple Jumbo size pizza's-up to 5 toppings-for $12.99.  We have chips for a side, and I'll make cookies (or if I don't have time, we'll do Snack Pack pudding!) for dessert.
• Wednesday night, to avoid the "quick throw something together and scarf it down before church" rush: Pork and potatoes in the crock pot, veggies (and possibly biscuits)
• Spaghetti with chicken, salad, veggie
• Turkey burgers and hot dogs on the grill, baked fries, corn on the cob
• Chicken stirfry, rice
