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.

I am so busy this week trying to get Christmas cards and gifts made that I want really easy dinners.

Menu Plan 12/8-12/14

Mon: Bourbon & Onion Pork Chops with noodles

Tues: Chicken enchiladas with Spanish rice (I don’t know why, but I must always have Spanish rice when I have tacos or enchiladas)

Wed: Italian Sausage and Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

Thr: Crock Pot Bacon Ranch Chicken

Fri: Leftovers

Sat: Kitchen is Closed!

Sun: Beef Stew

Happy Cooking

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 Feb 3

I had some epic crock pot failures last week. OK, so maybe they weren’t epic, but I did have to make a whole new dinner one night.

This week I will not use my crock pot. I am tempted….

I think Baby Sid is going through a growth spurt. He is eating nonstop!

After eating, continuously munching, at my sisters all day on Sunday he came home and ate a huge dinner. More than his brother.

Also on Thursday night last week, I had to help my mom pick up her new floors. It took too long and my sister got my boys from the sitter and made them dinner. Baby Sid came home and ate dinner again.

He is so cute! The Hubster was eating dinner and Baby Sid kept begging and stealing bites so I made him a plate.
