Menu Plan Monday-May 11-16th

Dinner time at our house this week is going to be pretty crazy. Monday night I have a PTSO meeting/dinner, Tues. night is our 15 yo daughter's choir concert, Wed. night is our 13 yo daughter's band concert. Then Thursday night is our 15 yo's choir banquet, our 13 yo's Academic Night (where she'll be recieving an award) & our 11 yo daughter's band concert. Can you tell me how we are supposed to be in 3 places at once, I thought they were supposed to coordinate these things with the others schools since they are all in the same district? Crazy huh, so maybe now you'll understand the very simple meals we'll be having this week.

If you'd like to see how I run my menu planning system go here. I've been doing it this way since November of last year & it has helped me tremendously. I have saved so much more money at the grocery store since I've been doing this.

Monday: Bow-tie Alfredo (my boys absolutely love this & it's the simplest thing to make)

Tuesday: Spaghetti/garlic bread/veggies

Wednesday: Fried chicken/rice/veggies (nothing fancy here, just frozen fried chicken & minute rice)

Thursday: Grilled cheese sandwiches

Friday: Homemade pizza

Saturday: Navajo Taco's

The recipes that I've linked here are from the blog that my 4 sisters & I share. Feel free to head on over to Table for 5 to see lots of other great recipes & a few other fun things.

You may notice that I don't include Sunday's on my menu plan. This is because we have dinner with my family & rotate amongst my siblings who makes dinner, so I only have to make dinner on Sunday nights every 6 weeks.

Menu Plan Monday

Hello everyone, here's my menu for this week. Sorry I didn't post last week, it was a crazy week & we weren't home most nights for dinner anyway, so our dinners were nothing spectacular. I'll try to post pictures through the week & add the recipes, so check back if you want those.

Monday~ tostada's ~~these are very simple. I just fry corn tortilla's until they are crispy, then spread refried beans (I like the spicy jalepeno beans) over them. Add cheese on top & bake at 450 for about 12 min. Then you can add whatever toppings you like. I like lettuce & tomato's & don't shoot me--ketchup. My weird husband likes ranch on his (he puts ranch on just about everything), some of the kids like ketchup, some like ranch (my husband has brain washed them) & some like sour cream.

Tuesday~ chicken spaghetti casserole

Wednesday~ BBQ at my brother's house for New Year's Eve!

Thursday~ Cheesy Potato Soup

Friday~ Pepperoni Pizzadilla's

Saturday~ Breakfast (cheesy hashbrown casserole, scrambled eggs & bacon)

You can see many more menu's from other people at Menu Plan Monday!

I've decided to post these menu's on the blog I share with my sisters since that one is dedicated to recipes/crafting etc., so next week head on over to Table for 5 to see my menu there.

Menu Plan Monday

I just found this great site called I'm an Organizing Junkie & she does something called Menu Plan Monday. I started about 2 months ago making a monthly menu plan & so far I've loved it. I go into Google calendar to create my month of menu's. This has made making a grocery list so much easier & I end up spending less at the grocery store because I know exactly what I need for each meal before I get there.

A lot of these recipes have been family favorites for years (ie. enchilada's & homemade pizza) & some are new ones that we are just trying out. I will try to post next to each recipe (if need be) where the recipe came from & I'll provide links if they are available. So anyway, here's my menu for this week:

Monday: Spaghetti Sauce Casserole (my sil, Kristi's recipe)

Tuesday: Homemade chicken noodle soup (my sister, Heather's recipe) & dinner rolls

Wednesday: frozen pizza (Wednesday's are crazy at our house so we do something fast & easy)

Thursday: Yogurt chicken & funeral potato's (I'll be changing this as I just made this tonight as a last min. change of plans).

Friday: Mock taco's (old family reunion recipe)

Saturday: Breakfast (scrambled eggs, hashbrown casserole & bacon). The hashbrown casserole recipe I got off the Simply Potato's bag & then I tweaked it a bit.

Sunday: (we have dinner with my side of the family & we rotate who makes dinner--it's Bridgette & Katrinna's turn).

I'll try to post recipes on our sisters blog as I make them this week. (I'm not guarenteeing {is that a word?} anything as I'm starting my Eng 102 class tomorrow).
