Monday Menu Plan

Good morning everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and ready to kick off this week! Did you get a chance to get your Menu Plan together for the week?

This week I am trying mostly all new recipes! Because I started my adventure with The Pampered Chef as an independant consultant, I am trying out several recipes on my family before I go try them out on strangers! Last night we started with a Ham and Cheese Calzone which turned out rather yummy! Below is my plan for the rest of the week:

Monday: Cheeseburger Sliders
Tuesday: Garden Fresh Pizza
Wednesday: Spaghetti
Thursday: Chicken Club Ring
Friday: Kitchen Closed - Out to dinner!
Saturday: Chicken Fajitas

What's cooking in your kitchen this week?

Happy Cooking!

Menu Mondays - None for me this week!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe New Years and that you are now ready to kick off this New Year as an organized, frugal friendly fun, recipe cooking, money saving Woman of 2012! Woo Hoo!!!

My goal this year is on Mondays, to post my "Menus for the Week". I have found in the past that if I sit down for just a few minutes over the weekend and plan out my meals for the week and have a plan in place, weeknights go much smoother around here. Thought if I shared my menu plans with you, that might encourage you and help you put together your own menus for the week. As I start to add recipes here on the blog, if I am cooking I recipe that I have already shared, I will link that night's meal to the recipe in case you want to try it to.

This week - however - no Menu Monday. One reason, with having such a long holiday weekend from work, I really didn't realize it was even Monday until just moments ago! Has that happened to you over the holidays - where you lose track of time? Another reason is half of my family is going to be missing in action this week due to their going to a particular Bowl Game for their favorite college team. Lastly, in looking at my own calendar this week, I have meetings just about every night this week after work....so since it is just two of us and half the time I wont even be here - I think it will be a "fend for yourself or famine" week unfortunately!

Stay tuned next Monday thought when hopefully I will be here to share next's week Menu Mondays! If you come up with a menu plan this week, please feel free to share below!

Happy New Year!

Monday Menu Plan

Starting today, on Mondays I will try to post my Menu Plan for the week. I have found it is so much easier if I sit down and plan out, at least basically, what I am going to cook for the week. Instead of coming home after working all day and then taking 30 minutes to figure out what I am going to fix, at least I know when I walk in the door and can get busy cooking. This also helps me in remembering to pull out that chicken to thaw the night before, or remembering to get up 5 minutes earlier to throw something in the crockpot.

There are so many people that have said "Wish I could do that". Well - you can! Just remember, just because you make a plan, that don't mean you can't change your mind. But, at least you have something to start with!

Here is my plan for the week, maybe it will help you kick start your menu plan:

Monday - Chili Dogs, Potato Salad and Carrot Sticks

Tuesday - Spaghetti and garlic bread

Wednesday - Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots (crockpot!) - Easy Peasy!

Thursday - Baked pork chops, scalloped potatoes and green beans

Friday - Family Night Dinner Out

Saturday - Sub Ring and chips for lunch; Frozen Pizza for kids (Date Night for the grownups!)

Sunday - Grilled Chicken, Rice, Corn on Cob

Happy Planning!
