Meal Plan Monday

Last week ended up being a pretty crazy week! We spent a lot of time with family and ate with Jeff's parents a few nights. So this week we are going to have some of the meals that I had planned for last week!

Dinners:

1. chicken tetrazini
2. lasagna
3. burgers
4. hot dogs and french fries
5. chicken tenders

Lunches: (back to work now, so no more big lunches!)

1. sandwiches and chips
2. salad
3. chicken tenders

And for Jacob... we will continue with squash and by the end of the week should be able to start with some green veggies!

Meal Plan Monday

I know! I can't believe it either! I haven't done one of these posts since I got pregnant and didn't know what would make me drool with delight or, well, you know...

Anyway, here are the meals I have planned for my family this week:

Dinners:

1. lasagna
2. bbq chicken with mac-n-cheese
3. teriyaki chicken stir fry
4. burgers
5. chicken tetrazinni
6. tacos
7. chicken noodle soup with homemade crunchy cheese sticks

Lunches: (bigger deal this week since we will be home during the day this week)

1. sandwiches and chips
2. chili cheese fries
3. pizza rolls
4. salad
5. hot dogs
6. potstickers
7. chicken tenders

And for Jacob... we will continue with sweet potatoes, which he loves, while trying to sneak in some carrots, which he absolutely does not love. Also, by the end of the week we may be ready to try squash.

Meal Plan Monday - Hiatus

I know there are hundreds (okay, maybe just two or three) of you out there who log in to your GoogleReader each week just to read my Meal Plan Monday posts (or rather, you happen to see that it's there and skim past it). It is to you that I must apologize. I am going to take a hiatus from MPM posts for the time being. Yes, I will still be doing my best to plan, plan, plan, but I feel that some other things have recently become more important to me and require more of my time and effort. I know, I know, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Trust that I am still planning, just not publicly. I do hope to get back to MPM's soon, but until then, you will just have to get your fill reading everyone else's!

Meal Plan Monday (or lack thereof)

Since I am on Fall Break and will be out of school all week (YAY!), I am not planning my meals. I do have a few recipes that I want to try, but I don't really want to commit to anything. Over breaks, I just like to cook what I want, when I want. Breaks are the only time I am able to do this since I am usually in no way crunched for time! So this week, who knows what we will be eating? If I get into any big cooking adventures, I will surely let everyone in blogworld know!

Meal Plan Monday

1. Chili - I heart this fall weather!!
2. Chicken Noodle Soup - my mom gave me this soup mix I really want to try.
3. Three Cheese Baked Mostaccioli - a new recipe for me! We'll see how it goes. I found it at TastyKitchen.com, a site started by the Pioneer Woman, one of my favorite blogs to read!
4. Shepherd's Pie - also a new one for me! I don't think I will make it quite like the one linked here. Once again, we'll see!
5. Grilled Chicken (cooked in Italian Dressing) Possible sides - salad, mashed potatoes, (because I will probably have left overs from the Shepherd's Pie!) green beans...

Meal Plan Monday

1.) Chicken Tetrazzini (recipe to come later)

2.) Cheeseburgers

3.) Breakfast for Dinner

4.) Leftovers

5.) We'll see... Maybe something new. I didn't try a new recipe last week like I wanted to...

Meal Plan Monday!!

In an effort to better organize my life, I am trying to plan out my meals further ahead of time. I used to be much better about it, but have slacked off A LOT lately. If I plan in advance, I can make less grocery trips and save $$. I am not so organized that I know what we're having on what night, but I think that's okay. Sometimes I get home and am just not in the mood for what I had originally plan. So, here are some of our choices this week:

1.) "angel" pizza - what jeff calls my semi-homemade pizza (sausage and pineapple)

2.) grilled chicken in italian dressing and a vegetable side

3.) honey-teriyaki pineapple pork chops and a vegetable side

4.) pizza-mac casserole

5.) salsa chicken & rice



6.) some new dish - my goal is to find a good recipe I want to try this week, hopefully a good one : )



Possible vegetable sides: corn, green beans, potatoes (baked, mashed, or twice-baked)



Have a good week!
