Menu Plan Monday ~ February 26-March 5

Posted on March 1st, 2010 in In the kitchen, Menu Plan Monday

I’m running late today, but I do have a menu to post. Here’s what we’re eating this week…

Friday – take out pizza

Saturday – lunch: eat out / dinner: meatball stew and grilled cheese

Sunday – lunch: eat out / dinner: fend for yourselves

Monday – leftover meatball stew, grilled cheese

Tuesday – chicken & broccoli macaroni, corn on the cob

Wednesday – tacos, guacamole, chips & salsa

Thursday – leftovers

We’re still carrying over the chicken & broccoli meal because we didn’t need it again last week. Our weekend involved more dining out/take out than we usually have due to my Mom visiting; we were out running around more than we usually do.

Happy Monday!

Menu Plan Monday – February 20-26

Posted on February 21st, 2010 in In the kitchen, Menu Plan Monday

It’s Monday again, and I’ve got a plan for our menu. Last week we had a few more leftovers than I anticipated, so there are a couple of carry overs on our menu this week.

The creamy mexican casserole that we tried last week was very good. I used a pound of ground beef instead of the chicken called for in the recipe and it worked out well (although it would probably be just as good with only a half pound of beef). If you like things spicy you probably want to add some ground cayenne pepper in with the spices; Matt and I added hot salsa to our servings so that the casserole wouldn’t be too spicy for the kids. This would make a great potluck or party dish, too, since it can be eaten with tortilla chips.

Anyway, here’s what’s on our menu this week.

Saturday: lunch: rolled tacos / dinner: meatball subs, fries
Sunday: lunch: leftovers / dinner: chicken nugget casserole, noodles, corn
Monday: enchilada casserole, chips & guacamole, salsa
Tuesday: leftovers
Wednesday: chicken & broccoli macaroni, salad
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: pizza

I’ve been craving buffalo chicken dip for a few weeks now, so I might make a dish this week and throw it in there somewhere. And, of course, I’ll be making several loaves of bread (thanks to my handy, dandy bread machine) including a couple of new recipes (hopefully).

That’s my plan for the week. For more meal and menu plan ideas hop over to Menu Plan Monday at orgjunkie.com and see what everyone else is eating this week.

Happy Monday!

Menu Plan Monday ~ February 6-12

Posted on February 8th, 2010 in In the kitchen, Menu Plan Monday

It’s been almost a month since I’ve participated in Menu Plan Monday. For the first three weeks of baby girl’s life we were blessed by many friends who brought dinner to our family. Last week we were able to eat primarily from the stock of meals I had frozen prior to her birth. This week we will actually have to do some cooking, and I had to rejoin the ranks of menu planners.

So, here’s what we’re eating:

Saturday: lunch: leftover pizza from Friday night / dinner: kids – scrambled eggs & grapefruit sections, adults – fend for yourselves

Sunday: lunch: loaded baked potato soup, homemade bread / dinner: taquitos

Monday: leftover soup and bread

Tuesday: meatloaf, au gratin potatoes, green peas

Wednesday: chicken and broccoli macaroni, green salad

Thursday: french toast, strawberry smoothies

Friday: pizza

Have a great week!
