Menu Plan Monday

This week will be a little different. Monday we will be going out to eat to help save Chuck on NBC. It is a show that is written very well and I would be sad to see it leave. I feel like if I can do anything to help save it I should.


Sunday: Orzo Salad

Monday: Subway, part of the save Chuck campaign.

Tuesday: Chicken Quesadillas (maybe one week it's on the plan I'll actually make it)

Wednesday: Big Salad

Thursday: Mexican Pizza knock-off, my version of the Taco Bell favorite

Firday: Date Night

Saturday: Pizza

Menu Plan Monday

Last week we had take out twice, not something I'm proud of but life get's in the way.

I did get to make the Cajun Dirty Rice, it was very good! It will be in a regular rotation, I'll be making up everything but the rice for the freezer really soon. I'll post the recipe tomorrow hopefully, if not tonight.

This week DH has requested some favorites. He would have the same thing week after week if I let him. That gets old to me very quick. Two will be carry overs from last week because of the take out.

Sunday: Ice Cream for dinner. Yes, I'm serious! It's a fun out of the ordinary treat sometimes and totally fun. Try it one night and see if you don't feel like a kid cheating before dinner. This is best done on a day when you have a late lunch.

Monday: Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Tuesday: Tex Mex Egg Rolls

Wednesday: Chicken Qusadillas

Thursday: Sloppy Joe's

Friday: Date Night

Saturday: Not sure, we need a meatless meal. I'm tired of our usual ideas for that.

Menu Plan April 12

Last week was hit and miss. Most of the new recipes we tried were lacking something, the Spicy Lime Chicken had a little too much lime. I'm going to tweak the recipes a bit before I post them, I would never give you a recipe that I didn't think was really good.

This week is going to be a bit more simple.

Sunday: Pizza, not something we have often

Monday: Cajun Dirty Rice

Tuesday: Chicken Quesadillas

Wednesday: Big Salad night, I'm going to try to make this a weekly thing

Thursday: Tex-Mex Egg Rolls

Friday: Date Night, we always eat out

Saturday: Breakfast for Dinner, something we don't do often enough.

Nothing super fancy, the only recipe that is new to us will be the Dirty Rice. I'm hoping it will be a hit since it's from a freezer cooking cookbook.

I'm wanting to incorporate more meatless meals into our diet, if you have a great one let me know. I have a lentil and brown rice taco filling that I want to try but I'm scared, lol.

Menu Plan April 5th

This week there will be a lot of new recipes. I'm getting tired of the same old thing day in, day out. You will see lots of chicken because it was on sale. Check back later for recipes if they make the cut.

Sunday: My dear husband is bringing home food from my favorite Chinese restaurant. He had to go south, the city we used to live in, so he said he would pick me up something to eat. He is the greatest!

Monday: Beef BBQ

Tuesday: Chicken in Herbed Mustard Sauce

Wednesday: Tomato Sauce and Noodles (and old one but it is so healthy we try to eat it often)

Thursday: Chicken Quesadillas with homemade Refried Beans

Friday: Date Night

Saturday: Spicy Lime Chicken with Black Bean and Rice Salad

Menu Plan Monday!

This week has several of Becca's suggestions because she is on spring break! She stays with us every spring break.
My lovely husband surprised us by taking off of work Saturday so we could have a family fun day. At work he is under a big deadline so I was rather shocked. He is just the best husband!

I'm going to change up my format, instead of doing Monday-Sunday I'll start on Sunday. That is usually when we do our shopping.

Sunday: Shepard's Pie

Monday: Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas

Tuesday: Angel Hair Alfredo (recipe to come later, it is super simple)

Wednesday: Sloppy Joe's

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner: Pancakes or Omlettes to be decided later

Friday: Date Night!

Saturday: TBA, not sure if that is the day we will go out of town or not.

Menu Plan Monday!

Last week didn't go completely as planned. Not only am I sick, so is Jason. Good news is I'm feeling much better, bad news he's much worse.

This week will still be pretty simple. I found ground beef on sale so more of that will be made into freezer meals and of course one night of sloppy joe's, Jason can't let a week go by without those hardly. I deprived him last week since he doesn't feel good I'll give in this week. You would think he's a child, lol!

Monday:
Sloppy Joe's

Tuesday:
Tomato Sauce and Noodles
Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

Wednesday:
Spicy Baked Chicken
Taco Rice

Thursday:
Meatballs in gravy w/ Noodles

Friday:

Saturday:
Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas

Menu Plan Monday Feb. 23

Last week didn't go as well as the one before. I am sick, and not just I might have a cold sick, REALLY sick. I will have to get to the doctor if I don't start feeling better soon. It is getting to where I can't even sit at my computer. I will say that we only veered off course once this past week!

Our usually Friday night was out but I had Jason pick up something on his way home Saturday as well. I just didn't feel up to cooking. That isn't bad considering I haven't been able to do hardly anything the past few days.

Even better than that we actually *gasp* ate things on the day I had assigned them. That is a major first for me! I tried to vary the type of meat and meatless days to not have them back to back much, it worked.

Everything last week except Monday was tried and true. Monday's new adventure was a disaster! Jason ate it but I could only eat a few bites. I had high hopes for it but oh well. I'm still on the lookout for more great zuchinni ideas, I'll find a great recipe yet!

Monday: Lasagna (Bertolli Meal)
Sides: Garlic Bread and Salad

Tuesday: Pizza


Wednesday: Soft Taco Bake
Sides: none, I do a mixture for the top

Thursday: Chicken w/Basil Cream Sauce and pasta
Sides: Salad, Garlic Bread

Friday: Date Night!


Saturday: BBQ Nachos


Sunday:TBA If I'm feeling better it will be a new recipe

This week I'm relying heavily on convenience foods. I feel bad about that but I'm just not feeling well. If I start to feel better I will make a couple of new recipes.

Menu Plan Monday Feb. 16th

Menu Plan Monday!

So, I have a problem with Menu Plans. It isn't that I hate having a plan, actually I'm big on planning. It's that I'm a rebel, well... as much of a rebel as I can be, lol. I don't like having assigned days for food. If I'm not feeling like quesadillas one night I don't want to eat them just because it is "assigned" today. Then it hit me, I don't HAVE to eat it on an assigned day.

Here is the way I menu plan. You will notice that there are more meals than days, that's because I'm big on cravings. If I'm not feeling up to something then I can always substitute.









My Chicken options for the week:

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Quesadillas

Chicken Enchiladas

Chicken Pot Pie

My Beef options for the week:

Stuffed Mexican Cornbread

Shepard's Pie

Lasagna

Tex-Mex Eggrolls

I have some vegetarian options as well, but this is a good start. I'll update next week with what we ate on what day before my next Menu Plan Monday post. I'll post some recipes as well. I love to cook so I'm always trying new things and if you have a great recipe for anything, let me know about it!!
Head on over to Org Junkie for more Menu Plan Monday posts and join in on the fun!
