Menu Plan Monday

Last week I noticed that I have a ton of Market Day items in the freezer. So this week is gonna be an easy week as I use up a lot of my frozen entrees!

• Monday - Beef Tips in gravy served with (home-made) smashed potatoes and corn niblets

• Tuesday - Pork Chops, Four Cheese Potatoes and probably some green beans

• Wednesday - I'm joining the Team for a group run at the park tonight, so it will be a Drive-thru night.

• Thursday - Baked Manicotti served with garlic bread

• Friday - Pizza night

• Saturday - Grilled Steak Sandwiches* and french fries

• Sunday - Mushroom-Jack Chicken, Baby Baked Potatoes and broccoli-rice casserole*

• Bonus - Easy Southern Banana Pudding*
  

Does any one else order Market Day? Isn't it wonderful? And it benefits a great cause, our kids! My Market Day orders benefit our High School Marching Band!

Don't forget to check out Menu Plan Monday at I'm An Organizing Junkie!


*I will post these two recipes at some point this week...

Menu Plan Monday

Well, I missed a couple of weeks, but this is something I really want to do, so I will post my menu on the weeks that I do have it ready by Monday afternoon!

This week we will be eating good! I am feeling very "cook-y" (I just made that term up, feel free to use it whenever you like!)

Monday - Week Night Lasagna Bake

Tuesday - My Momma's Meatloaf (chicken for the kids)

Wednesday - Quesadillas and refried beans

Thursday - Chicken patty sandwiches and fries
(I figure I might be cooked out by then!)

Friday - Pizza Night

Saturday - Please Oh Please Let This Be A Date Night!!!
(feel free to some date night vibes my way!)

Bonus - Diet Soda Cake

Now the point of MPM (Menu Plan Monday) is to post your menu, of course, but also to post some of your recipes. Maybe I will do this on Wednesday after I post my WW picture. We shall see...until then I know you will be on the edge of your seats awaiting my culinary expertise!

And I can't forget to send you over to Orgjunkie.com where you can see over 300 (!) other momma's menus and you know, they probably follow the rules and post their recipes too!

Menu Plan Monday

I read Laura's blog at orgjunkie.com. She hosts a blog carnival called Menu Plan Monday. Here's what Laura says about menu planning...

"I truly believe that menu planning is one of the best places to start in your quest to get organized. Each week over 200 ladies share what’s on their menus for the week and we’d love to have you join us! It’s a wonderful opportunity to keep your menu planning efforts on track week after week not to mention the many great ideas and recipes that come from reading the menus of the many other participants."

I already plan my menu every week, well almost every week, so I am joining the masses (there are over 400 bloggers participating this week!) It's a great place to learn new recipes and get some different dinner ideas!

So here's what we'll be eating this week:

Monday
Pasta
Marinara and Alfredo sauces
Garlic bread

Tuesday
Pork Chops
Macaroni and Cheese
Green beans
Crescent rolls

Wednesday
Tacos
Queso Cheese Dip (from Costco)
Corn niblets

Thursday
Baked chicken breast
Grilled cheese for the girls (because they are The Pickiest Eaters!)
Roasted potatoes
Broccoli with Cheese

Friday
Pizza night (take out or frozen)

Saturday
Hopefully a Date Night!

This is not my most creative menu. I hope this blog carnival will also encourage me to try some new recipes. I have also been trying to include at least one vegetable (not potatoes) with each meal. Of course, the kids don't eat them, but at least I am offering them!
