Menu Plan Monday

I'm late with the Menu Planning and I actually contemplated not doing one this week. But they are so helpful. I figured better late than never.

But first, I have to tell you about these cookies that I made from Ree's site, The Pioneer Woman Cooks! It's so simple and Yummy! Almost too much!

These are just made from premade cookie dough and any candy of your choice. There were so many options but this is what I choose to do....this time. lol

Chocolate Chip Cookie dough and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Chocolate Chip Cookie dough and Snickers Minis.
Chocolate Chip Cookie dough and Twix minis cut in half.
Chocolate Chip Cookie dough and Toffee Kisses. I haven't tried this one yet. But I'd have to say my favorite so far is the Twix. I still have brownie, peanut butter and sugar cookie doughs to make. These are soooo rich!


On to my menu:

Monday: Frozen Pizza doctored up and Caesar Salad.

Tuesday: Left over meatloaf, mashed potatoes, brown gravy and green beans. (Last week I made mac and cheese instead of mashed potatoes and we had the left over cornbread with it.)

Wednesday: Deli Sandwiches and potato chips.

Thursday: Eat out

Friday: Steak, macaroni salad and corn on the cob.

Saturday: Breakfast for dinner. Potatoes and chorizo burritos.

Sunday: Parmesan crusted chicken, angel hair pasta, green beans.

Happy Monday!

Last week I had meatloaf and chicken teriyaki on my menu. I never made it to the store to get more hamburger so in the place of meatloaf I made this yummy Pot Roast I've been meaning to share with everyone for months.

This stuff is amazing. I get it from Costco and let me tell you...YUM! Hubs loves to go to Costco for the samples and we sampled this. I'm not much for samples, but this...I actually told the lady I was going to take a second one and she said for me to go for it. LOL!

It's so easy to make too! It's boil in a bag. If it's defrosted it takes 30 minutes and if it's frozen you just double the time. One roast feeds all seven of us healthy portions and it just falls apart. There's even plenty of gravy left over to spoon over mashed potatoes or to add over your roast.

Second, I didn't end up making the teriyaki chicken because we went out to dinner. So without further ado, here is this week's menu.

Monday- Teriyaki Chicken Stir-fry over steamed white rice.

Tuesday- Cheesy Green Chili and Potato Soup.

Wednesday- Herb Roasted Turkey Sandwiches and chips. (Girl Scout and Catechism Day)

Thursday- Shredded BBQ Chicken Cups (Shredded Chicken, simmered in BBQ Sauce and placed in Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuits. Baked in the oven)

Friday- Meaty Red Chili served with Green Chili and Cheese Corn Bread.

Saturday- Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans.


Sunday- Stuffed Hamburgers (Hamburgers with cheese cooked inside) and Mojo Potatoes.

Works For Me Wednesday

Two weeks ago, I started Menu Plan Monday. I had bought this weekly pad at the Dollar Store and I was planning on that. I started to think ahead about what I would do when I ran out of these weekly pages and I came up with the idea to laminate them and post them on the refrigerator. So first, I took out my hand laminator and laminated four weeks for monthly planning. I cut them out and I remembered I had these magnets that I was saving for whatever. Well, my original thought was to print pictures that I liked of my kids and laminate them and glue the picture to the magnet.



Anyway these are just magnets that were given to me or that came with the phone book. Ones that I don't need anymore.


I cut and glued them to the back of the weekly pages. Then wrote in our menu for the week with a dry erase marker.

Last, of course, I posted them on the door next to the school lunch menu. The kids were thrilled because now they know what is for dinner too.

I'm thrilled because it was so easy to do and now I can keep track of the menu easier too.

Works for me!

Menu Plan Monday

Last week was my first Menu Plan Monday. I had to switch it around a bit due to weather . Friday we were supposed to BBQ but it was rainy and foggy. Instead we had pot roast which was so yummy and perfect for the rainy foggy day. We BBQ'd on Saturday instead.

I didn't get around to visiting EVERYONE'S Menus until Saturday but boy was it worth it. You guys are amazing. I now have a ton of new recipes....a couple of which we are trying this week. Hubs was excited with all the yumminess I was showing him. lol

Here's this week's menu:

Monday: Marlboro Man's Second Favorite Sandwich and Potato Salad.

Tuesday: Stuffed Bell Peppers with Tomato Basil and Mozzarella Crostini.

Wednesday: Pizza, Salad, and Green Thompson Grapes.

Thursday: Vegetable Beef Soup in Bread Bowls.

Friday: Orange Chicken and Stir Fry with white rice. ( For this one we are trying a new Orange Sauce we found in the Asian section at the grocery store. I'll let you know if it's any good.)

Saturday: Pepper Jack Chicken Rolls, Green Beans, Parmesan Angel Hair Pasta.

Sunday: Lil Smokies with Ranch Beans and a tortilla.

Here's a bonus picture of Sunday's dinner. It was my first time making chicken. I was pretty proud it came out soo yummy.

Seeing as it was the first day of Autumn, I took out my fall items. I for one am glad that summer is over and cooler days are ahead. I know...I know...soon I'll be wishing for warmer days again. lol!

Happy Monday everyone!

Menu Plan Monday

Now that I have my pantry all clean I've decided to start planning menus around what we already have in the house (isn't that an original idea! lol)

So here goes my first post for Menu Plan Monday:

Monday: Taco Salad

Tuesday: Shredded Beef and Potato Burrito- Basically shredded beef and potatoes simmered in green enchilada sauce in the crock pot all day.

Wednesday: Homemade Lasagna, salad and French Bread

Thursday: Chicken Taquitos and Spanish Rice

Friday: BBQ Steaks and Burgers; potato salad and corn on the cob.

Saturday: Breakfast for dinner. Usually eggs, bacon, hash browns (in a burrito or regular) and OJ

Sunday: Fried Chicken, Mashed potatoes and gravy and Mac and cheese.

What I love about this week's menu beside the yumminess factor is that the shredded beef in sauce is already done, I only have to chop up some potatoes and toss them in the crockpot.

Hubs made an extra lasagna tonight so we will only have to reheat it while the bread is baking killing two birds with one stone which is great since that is catechism night and I also made an appointment for photographs to be taken before catechism.

The chicken just needs to be thrown in the crock pot with some green chilies some time before Thursday. It's just incredible to me. I wish I would have done this sooner.

It's going to be an easy week for me!
