Meal Plan Monday
May 17, 2010
I actually planned my meals this week before I shopped this morning and of course I forgot a few things I needed! Don’t you hate that
So I will be headed back to Publix once more this week!
Here is what I have planned this week:
Pasta With Sausage & Peppers (Dinner tonight– I kinda threw this one together and it was just OK)
Sweet & Sour Chicken over rice
Crockpot Limas & Cornmeal Pancakes (my husband’s request this week–can you believe he went with a meat free meal!!)
Homemade Pizza & Salad
Cauliflower Cheese Soup & French Bread
Pretzel Pork Loin, Broccoli & Sweet Potatoes (I had planned on making this last week but last minute laziness called for taco night!!)
Menu Plan Monday
May 10, 2010
I am trying to expand my recipe repertoire so this week I attempting at least 4 new recipes this week! I am on the hunt for some good slow cooker recipes so you all feel free to pass any on that you recommend!!
Here is what I have planned for the week:

Pretzel Crusted Pork Loin, Stove Top, Corn Casserole
Moo-Shu Chicken, Brown Rice

Meal Plan Monday (a little late)
May 4, 2010
See I already forgot! I am going to try my best to post my meal plan for the week every Monday night. I have to admit that it really keeps me on track AND helps me plan a little more which in turn leads to more variety!! I have a bad habit of slipping into a rut and just making the old stand by meals…so creating a meal plan really makes me more aware of what I am making each week!!
Since so many of you have asked how I create meals from my crazy shopping list…here is what I will be making for dinner this week:
Monday – Chicken Soft Tacos
Tuesday – Spinach & Gorgonzola Stuffed Chicken Breast, Grilled Zucchini, Rice side dish (I usually do spinach and feta but I have gorgonzola so I am going to give it a whirl)
Wednesday – Beef Stroganoff & Spinach Salad
Thursday – Turkey Burgers & Sweet Potato Fries
Friday – Greek Chicken Kabobs & Veggies, Starch (Not sure what yet)
Saturday–Stuffed Cabbage Rolls (crockpot
Sunday - Mother’s Day–dinner out!
oops…I forgot Sunday is Mother’s Day! We will be celebrating at a Brazilian Steakhouse…so the cabbage rolls will move to Saturday!!
Weekly Meal Deal
April 15, 2010
Amanda has her weekly meal deal posted. This week she has a recipe for Picadillo. I am going to be honest I had no idea what it was when she sent me the link!!
So I went and checked out the recipe and it sounds GREAT!! I am a huge fan of olives so I am going to have to give this one a try!! Amanda is expanding my horizons
The best part is that most of you will be able to make this for next to nothing. All I need to buy is a bell pepper!! Even if you bought all the ingredients you would only be spending $1.67 per person–now that is a meal deal!!
