Menu Plan Monday March 19-25

I never got around to making a menu plan last week. I was floundering all week, too. I still need to finish posting all of my Outback recipes. They all turned out really well! Yesterday I decided to try an awesome garlic fries recipe. I loved it and will definitely make it again. The kids weren’t the biggest fans, but they’re not a big fan of homemade fries in any form.  I also made an awesome bbq pulled pork recipe last week. Next time I make it I will definitely blog it. My husband really liked it and he said he’s not a big bbq pork person. Leftovers of that for my birthday lunch tomorrow!

This week we’re eating out three nights in a row! Tomorrow is my and my husband’s birthdays so I’d like to go somewhere nice to eat. Wednesday we’re going to Medieval Times and Thursday is Culver’s night for a preschool fundraiser. I feel like I shouldn’t eat out 3 nights in a row with trying to lose weight! I may try to just make a nice meal tomorrow and let Daddy take Monkey to preschool night on Thursday. We’ll see.

Monday-Buffalo Chicken Rolls (like egg rolls)

Tuesday- Birthday dinner

Wednesday- Medieval Times

Thursday- Culver’s Preschool Night

Friday- Baked fish

Saturday- Petite Lasagnas & Salad

Sunday- Ham and Cheese sliders on homemade Hawaiian Bread

Oh! Two weeks ago I told you I was going to put my recipes for the week into OneNote and put my menu plan onto my calendar. It worked great! At least with the recipes in OneNote I’m not depending on Internet or Pinterest to be up. The nice thing about the menu being on my calendar is I get a reminder the day before about what I’m to cook so I can take meat out of the freezer if needed. A great way to organize myself! I think this week I’m going to either make or be on the lookout for a fun menu planner sheet. I’m tired of my plain notebook paper. Do you have any pre-made menu plan worksheets that you use?

Menu Plan Monday Mar 5- Mar 11

It’s been a few weeks since I made a menu plan. It’s nice to finally be getting caught back up! I’m trying all new recipes this week. Tuesday I’m making into an Outback at home night. I love Outback so I’m hoping to make everything at home and be able to enjoy it without the cost!

Wednesday- Broccoli Stuffed Chicken

Thursday- Taco Pizza

Friday- Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Homemade Bread

Saturday- Pork Chops

What do you use to plan your menus? Do you have a printout to help you? Do you just add it to your calendar? I currently write everything down in a notebook but I’m going to test the abilities of merging Outlook with One Note and see if I can’t get everything to come together. I’ll let you know how my experiment goes.

Menu Plan Monday Feb 6- Feb 12

This is going to be a week of easy recipes because we have something going on pretty much every night.

My favorite meal last week was the slow cooker french dip crescent rolls.  I also loved the taco bites, which I haven’t gotten a chance to post yet, but will this week.

Menu Plan Monday Jan 30-Feb 5

I did pretty well on last week’s menu plan. I only missed one night because we went out with the family to dinner. I made the pepperoni and cheese croissants, slow cooker ranch chicken, and the breakfast egg and sausage gravy bowls.  I didn’t bother with the stuffed bread for lunch on Saturday because we had so many leftovers. I’m going to stop planning Saturday lunches because of that. I couldn’t make the bacon and cheese muffins this week because I didn’t buy enough bacon at the store. Whoops! I’m going to try for them again this week instead. What do you have on your menu plan this week?

Menu Plan Monday Jan 23-29

chicken, crockpotLast week I did so-so on my menu plan. I did ok the first two days and then I’m not sure what happened. I made the Beef Stroganoff and Stuffed Meatballs. I didn’t get around to either of the breakfast items I wanted to try. I was talking to my friend Kim this weekend at Kenmore and she really inspired me to switch out my food and ingredients to better for you ingredients such as all natural or organic. I’m going to start shopping more at Trader Joes I think. It’s going to be a slow process, because I have a lot of regular flour and sugar and such to go through. I’m not even going to attempt to go 100%, but if I can make some better choices I think it’ll help us overall.

What do you have on your menu plan this week?

Menu Plan Monday Jan 16-22

I did great sticking to my menu last week. There was only one night I didn’t make dinner and that was on my chicken soup night. We got pizzas instead. Of course now I wish I’d made the soup since I’m sick. I take that back, I also didn’t make the black bean quesadillas on lunch Saturday but that was because we had so many leftovers I couldn’t justify making another lunch. My favorite meal of the week was the German Potato and Sausage casserole. I’m going to share the recipe this week. The kids’ favorite was the stromboli. It was SO nice to have dinner that night. There was no fighting, playing, or yelling. Just a nice quiet dinner where the kids couldn’t get enough of the food. The least favorite meal of the week was the baked western omellette. It wasn’t the omellette itself, because it turned out great. It was the onions and green peppers. Only 1/3 of the kids ate it without complaint. It was not a happy morning in our house. I will definitely reuse the recipe, though, without the veggies. SO much an easy way to make eggs! This week you’ll notice that two days are up to Daddy as to what they’re going to eat. I’m going to the Kenmore summit this Friday and I can’t wait! I’ll tell you more about it later today.
