Menu Plan ...Thursday

Real quick, sorry no recipe links this time:

Today/Thursday: Ham & Potato Soup

Friday: Cody Cowgirl Casserole (from Sleep on it cookbook) (I'm actually making it today, so I won't have to spend much time in the kitchen cooking tomorrow).

Saturday: Cheryl's birthday party

Sunday: Beef & Zucchini Casserole (I'll triple this and freeze two)(from Dream Dinner cookbook)

Monday: already frozen Chicken Tetrazini

Tuesday: leftovers

Wedneday: leftovers

Thursday: Parmesan Crusted fish fillets (from Dream Dinners)

Friday: Easy wild rice Quiche (from Sleep on It)

Saturday: Chicken with red potatoes (from Dream Dinners)

If you can't tell I like the new Dream Dinners cookbook I just got from the library.

Menu Plan Monday night

It's actually Monday and I'm posting my plan (even though the goal is to post Sunday night, I don't care though, as long as I get it planned).

Tues: Chicken artichoke casserole from Quick Meal Solutions book (we still haven't gotten to this)

Wed: Teriyaki sirloin steak and rice

Fri: leftovers

Sat: leftovers

Sun: TBA

Mon: T-bone steak & potatoes

Tues: BBQ Chicken & salad

Wed: Cowboy calzone (from Pioneer Woman Cookbook)

Thurs: Frozen Chicken Tetrazini (from Once a Month Cooking)

I requested a bunch of Make-ahead-cookbooks from the library last night. I want to do more freezer meals and make the night before meals. So I can make them when I have the time or at least try.

Menu Plan last Wed

Forgot to post this on Wed. I just put the Macaroni & Cheese in the oven. Kept some aside for Jackson to eat just now and he chowed it down!

Wed: Salmon, potatoes & carrots

Thurs: Freezer sausage & rice (from Once a Month Cookbook)I think I've said it before, but this is one of my favs, especially since it freezes well.

Sat: Birthday party at a friends house

Sun: Tortilla Chip Pie (found in Kiwi magazine Feb/March 2010)

Mon: Leftovers

Tues: Leftovers

menu plan (not) monday

It's not monday, but I missed planning it at the beginning of the week and I don't want to wait till next monday. So...

Saturday: Mac n cheese

Sunday: Chicken enchildadas

Monday: Pepperoni and/or chicken pesto pizza

Tuesday: Chuckwagon casserole (from Crazy for Casseroles book)

Wednesday: letovers

That's all for now, maybe ideas for the rest of the week are Freezer sausage & rice (from Once a month cooking book) and chicken artichoke casserole (from Quick Meal Solutions book).

Last week I made steak fajitas. I so love the marinade recipe! I did modify it a little, don't remember where I got the idea. But I put 1/2 tsp of cinnamon in the marinade too. Good stuff.

Menu Plan Monday

Here is the plan for this week:

Monday: Salmon, brown rice, broccoli

Tuesday: Freezer Sausage & Rice, from Once-a-month-cooking book

Wednesday: Pepperoni pizza and homemade pizza dough

Thursday: leftovers

Friday: still leftovers?

Saturday: chinese food take out?

Sunday: leftovers?

Menu Plan Monday

Wow, I can't believe I didn't post anything this week. I really just haven't felt like it and the week flew by. Also this week, I'm doing my grocery shopping on Tuesday. Safeway has a $10 off coupon in the paper Tues morning.

Monday: Dinner with family

Tuesday: Taco salad

Wednesday: leftovers into soft tacos

Thursday: Chicken Parmesan, bread and salad. We like the recipe for this one a lot and it's easy to make.

Friday: leftovers

Saturday: something super easy, maybe grilled ham & cheese

Sunday: Stuffed bell peppers (sort of this recipe, but sometimes I add shredded carrots or zucchini, black beans, or corn too.)

Menu Plan Monday

I'm behind.

I don't have the meals planned out. We still haven't had a pot roast. Today I pulled a roast out of the freezer, so we'll probably eat that Tuesday night. But as for the rest, don't really know. I got pesto for pizza last week and still have some of that, so maybe a pesto chicken pasta dish wed.

Last week the pizza was good. Had leftover dough, so I had it a couple times for lunch and another dinner. I had a cold that lasted all week, so we didn't do the loaded baked potatoes. The healthified mexican skillet was good, but because of my cold I couldn't taste it very much. Dan said it tasted good though. Both that and the Taco Pasta are very similar. I would say the Taco Pasta had more taste, but that's just cause I couldn't taste anything in the mexican skillet. But I liked it though since it only makes one pan dirty (but I bet I could change the Taco Pasta to be that way too).

Monday:

Tuesday: Pot Roast

Wednesday: Pesto Chicken Pasta

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: ???

Saturday:

Sunday:

Menu Plan Monday

Dan is busy a bunch this week, so dinners will be off a bit. Because of that, my goal was to do a lot of pantry/freezer cooking this week and to have a short grocery list. My reason to have a short grocery list is to one save money and two ride my bike to the store instead of driving. I will tow Jackson in our bike trailer and then have some room to put the groceries too. Mainly we just need a gallon of milk and loaf of bread and a couple other small things. I'm excited to not need many groceries and be able to ride my bike to get groceries! I think on more regular grocery weeks, I'll drive to pick up the main groceries on Monday and then if there is anything else I need later in the week I'll ride my bike. And maybe a good idea would be to plan for one short grocery list a month ...then maybe someday the goal could be two trips a month for groceries in the bike!

But here is my plan for the week:

Monday: leftovers

Tuesday: dinner with friends

Wednesday: frozen store bought lasagna (that I've had for awhile now)

Thursday: Pepperoni pizza or frozen meatloaf...can't decide

Friday: leftovers

Saturday: at a wedding

Sunday: at the in-laws for dinner??

Menu Plan Monday

Here's my plan this week:

Monday: chicken packets from Once a Month Cooking

Tuesday: Salmon and potatoes

Wednesday: Chicken Enchiladas

Thursday: Taco Pasta

Friday: leftovers

Saturday: frozen chili

Sunday: Stir fry following Joy of Cooking

Menu Plan Monday

Here is my weekly dinner plan!!!

Monday: Shrimp Salad and homemade bread (from Artisan bread in 5 mins)

Tuesday: Chicken Tetrazzini (from Once a Month Cooking)

Wednesday: leftovers with salad and bread

Thursday: Meatloaf or hamburgers

Friday: Chicken pesto pizza or chicken wings

Saturday: birthday party and a wedding shower

Sunday: leftovers or find something easy

Menu Plan Monday

So, I'm wanting to do this... Menu Plan Monday.


I've been having problems being consistent at our own menu planning, so maybe if I do this it will help. So my goal is to start doing it next monday. We'll see how it goes.
