Menu Plan Monday Oct 26th

MSS_MPM

 

It looks as though I haven’t written anything since my last menu plan!

OK, so that isn’t exactly true, but I haven’t published anything! My house is a mess, I really mean it looks like a bomb went off in my living room/dinning room. But oddly the boys play room is picked up.

It seems like we have so much going on and it is not slowing down. Halloween is just around the corner but I already am making plans for Christmas events! Not because I’m trying to bypass these wonderful fall holidays, but because time is just flying by and our calendars are filling up.  It really makes me thankful that I took the time to plan out our meals for the whole month!

On Thursday my recipe calls for cooked chicken, so when I go to work I am going to throw some chicken breast in the crockpot with some broth and they will be ready to shred for my casserole when I get home.

What is on your menu board this week?

Menu Plan Monday Oct 19th

MSS_MPM

I am already behind this week.

Here it is Tuesday and I am writing a post about Monday.  I did have to do some rearranging in my meal plan, but luckily it was already planned out for the month. Remember how I talked about that waaaaay back on my Sept 28th post?

Turns out I have a PTSO meeting tonight, that is our equivalent to PTA, ‘parent, teacher, student organization.’  Hubby has to work late so the kids are going to my moms.  Which means pizza for them and no cooking for me!  Which also means Taco Tuesday got moved to Monday and Monday’s dinner got kicked to the curb. I know you are asking why I didn’t just toss out Tuesday’s dinner? Monday’s dinner involved a roast I had not purchased yet and I had to make Tacos because I needed the leftover taco meat and rice for Thursday’s dinner, so you see, that is why things had to be rearranged and I didn’t just skip Tuesday’s dinner.

Whew. What an explanation!

What is on your menu board this week?

Menu Plan Monday June 23rd

I thought it must be a mistake when I typed out the date for this post.

How can June be almost over?  It just begun!

Of course this past week completely disappeared for me.

I was able to by pass most major colds this winter, but come summer time I go and get bronchitis (or pneumonia).  After coughing non-stop for four days, I went to the doctor.  I decided to skip the x-ray to know what I had for sure, but he said it was one or the other.  I think I might be getting better, but I still have this horrendous cough, and I am so exhausted.

I mean, my abdominal muscles are sore, like I have been doing a week of crunches, my coughing was so bad.

So I am not really sure what happened last week, it is just kind of a blur for me. (and I am a little delirious right now, so I am not sure how this post will turn out)

This kid...

Mon: Cheeseburger Wraps with tater-chips 

Tue: BBQ at my mom’s house

Wed: Chicken Enchiladas

Thr: 4 Cheese Stuffed Porkchops with garlic pasta 

Fri: Camping

Sat: Still Camping

Happy Cooking

Happy Meal Plan Monday!

The sun is shining here in my part of the world.  It was a beautiful weekend and I am making huge progress on the decorations for Ian’s party.

His party is this coming Saturday, I can’t believe I have a four year-old!  I still have lots and lots to do before then, so I am hoping to make some easy, simple dinners this week.

We make Birthday Cake Pancakes for the kids on their birthday.  Because…welllll…it’s their birthday.  And if you have tried them you would understand.

 

 

Menu Plan 3/24-3/30

Mon: Lasagna 

Tue: Meatloaf with red potatoes

Wed: Slow Cooker Zesty Italian Chicken

Thr: Tacos with Spanish rice

Fri: Party Prep

Sat: Party Day!

Sun: Something in the crock pot, need to unwind after Party Day 🙂

 

Happy Cooking
