Menu Plan Monday – May 28

May 28, 2007· Filed under Menu Plan Mondays

I didn’t post a Menu Plan last Monday because I knew my husband was going to be out of town and I didn’t really feel like putting much effort into meals at all. Let’s just say I regret that decision now. I really have gotten to the point now, where I need to menu plan and things just don’t run smoothly when I don’t. I won’t share with you what we actually did eat for dinner last week – you’d probably disown me.

So, here’s to a better week.

• Monday – Pulled pork barbecue sandwiches (the pork roast is going in the slow cooker in just a few minutes), coleslaw and pasta salad
• Tuesday – Having friends over – order pizza
• Wednesday – Chicken quesadillas, salad
• Thursday – Mini meatloaves, mashed potatoes and steamed veggies
• Friday – Flat iron steaks on the grill, baked potatoes, corn on the cob

I feel much better already! Here is to a more organized week. Head on over to I’m an Organizing Junkie to find more menu ideas for the week.

Menu Plan Monday – May 14

May 14, 2007· Filed under Menu Plan Mondays

I am moving slowly after my full day of gardening yesterday, but it is a good slow! This looks like a pretty easy week and I think that is just what we all need.

• Monday – Create Your Own Pasta night – I will cook up angel hair pasta and then the crew can choose how to top it – marinara only or meatballs too. I will have pesto and feta cheese on mine.
• Tuesday – Taco Cups and refried beans. These are super easy. Lightly grease large muffin cups and press medium sized tortillas in the shape of the muffin cups. Place in oven on 350 for about 7 minutes until crisp. Fill cups with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and other taco toppings.
• Wednesday – BLTs and soup
• Thursday – Grilled chicken, steamed new potatoes, green beans.
• Friday – Homemade baked macaroni and cheese with salad.

Menu Plan Monday – May 7

May 7, 2007· Filed under Menu Plan Mondays

It looks like another busy week on the fringe of suburbia! Dinners have to be quick and easy because we only have one afternoon/evening this week that is not scheduled with something.

• Monday – Penne pasta with chicken and vegetables alfredo
• Tuesday – Hot dogs and hamburgers at school for History Night
• Wednesday – Shredded pork BBQ in the slow cooker with cole slaw and baked beans
• Thursday – Terriyaki Orange Chicken, rice and snow peas
• Friday – most likely fast food since we will be at the gym all evening

Menu Plan Monday – April 30

April 30, 2007· Filed under Menu Plan Mondays

Last Wednesday I went to Dream Dinners and assembled 6 meals for my family in less than an hour. It was a great change of pace and it gave me some good ideas for saving time in the future. I don’t plan on using all the meals in one week, but it is nice to know they are there.

• Monday – Burgers on the grill, fries, mixed veggies
• Tuesday – Marinated flank steak, red beans and rice from Dream Dinners
• Wednesday – Turkey BLT sandwiches and fresh fruit smoothies
• Thursday – Cheeseburge Macaroni and salad (my son’s request)
• Friday – Pizza or leftovers

Have a great week! If you are looking for more meal planning ideas, go check out the list at I’m An Organizing Junkie.

Menu Plan Monday – April 23

April 23, 2007· Filed under Menu Plan Mondays

Last week’s introduction to Dream Dinners was fun and the Terriyaki Orange Chicken recipe I brought home and made for dinner Wednesday was a hit. I am going back Wednesday morning to do a full session and create 6 meals to bring home and freeze for cooking later on. I’ll keep you posted.

This week is a little crazy and will be Kid’s Choice week.

• Monday -  Leftovers (kebabs, veggies, bread, apple pie)
• Tuesday – Pasta with chicken and broccoli
• Wednesday - Fast food night
• Thursday – Santa Fe Chicken Fajitas from Dream Dinners
• Friday -  Make your own pizza – using tortillas or English Muffins

Have a great week! If you are looking for more meal planning ideas, go check out the list at I’m An Organizing Junkie.
