Menu Plan Monday Dec 8th

Why is my Menu Plan Monday on a Tuesday? you ask….
Well yesterday I had this Silhouette Challenge post schedule with a mega huge giveaway! so the menu plan just had to wait.  It’s okay, you get it.

 

As usual life got in the way of my cooking plans on Sunday, so I made the pork chops last night.  And it had to be last night because I pulled them out of the freezer on Sunday.

We got our tree on Sunday and I brought home a raging headache, which is why I didn’t end up cooking.  I could only handle the boys trying to decorate the tree for about 30 minutes and had to stop them, but I let them finish last night.  As a result the Christmas bins didn’t get put back into the attic and the boys made a fort.

Menu Plan Monday Dec 1st

If you read last week’s menu plan you would have seen that my plan for yesterday was fish, but really it was up in the air.  I ended up at my mom’s after the race and didn’t want to do any serious cooking.  So I took the left over turkey and made some turkey noodle soup.

yummm….

While normally I would have made some home-made noodles, that would have gone against my ‘not wanting to do any serious cooking’ plan on Sunday.  So I used store-bought noodles.  *gasp* I know, I know.

There was some other changes to the plan last week and so I have pork roast to cook this week.  Plus I am trying to stay away from too much poultry as we kinda get an overload with Thanksgiving and all the leftovers for days, so my fish recipe is back up on the menu plan for this week.

 

 

Menu Plan 12/1-12/7

Mon: Tacos & Spanish Rice

Tues: Pork Roast with Sour Cream and Cheddar Baked Mashed Potatoes

Wed: Chicken Lazone over pasta

Thr: Heavenly Halibut with rice pilaf

Fri: Leftovers

Sat: Kitchen is Closed!

Sun: Bourbon & Onion Pork Chops with noodles

 

 

Happy Cooking

Menu Plan Monday Nov 24th

‘Tis the week of Thanksgiving. Which means I had to find simple recipes to make for the rest of the week.

I really wanted to use the roasts (pork & beef) I had in the freezer and my slow cooker, but didn’t want to have two roast in one week.  So I’m gonna try a pork taco recipe.

I am also participating in a 12k race this weekend, and Ian is doing the kid’s fun run.  So I think some nice white fish would be great after the race, but we shall see if I really cook or just order pizza. *wink, wink*

Yesterday we went to take some Christmas Card pictures and I had to bribe Ian with a cookie so he would participate.

Menu Plan Monday Nov 17th

How closely o you follow your meal plan?

I would say most weeks I follow it with the exception of Sundays.  Although sometimes I end up switching days, but I still make all the meals I had planned for that week.  Sometimes things don’t go according to the plan though.

Last Wednesday I planned on making this baked chicken and Mac & Cheese.  As it turned out I ended up with a migraine that afternoon.  However, the kids still need to be feed.  I looked at the baked chicken recipe and it was sooo easy! So I was still able to make it, even though I was dying.  I did change the recipe from using yogurt to a mix of cream cheese and sour cream.  Everyone agreed the chicken was wonderful.  Instead of making mac & cheese from scratch, my husband made some from a box.  I know, I know, Kraft isn’t the same, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Seriously though, the chicken was so easy and very yummy!
