Last week's meal plan wasn't very intense...but our week was...so that meal plan wasn't even looked at (aside from making the chili). We were sick Monday - Wednesday, so didn't eat a lot--and then we just scrounged around the other nights. It happens. :-) Remember that meal planning should come with a little flexibility because life is unpredictable!
Here's our meal plan for this week:
 |

Monday: Homemade Meatloaf & Homemade Mac/Cheese, with salad - dinner with friends (they're bringing cake balls for dessert)
Tuesday: leftovers
Wednesday: Pork Chops, Rice Pilaf, Salad
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: homemade pizza <3
Saturday: Chicken & Rice Casserole (no condensed soups in this recipe)
Sunday: shrimp cocktails, toasted ravioli, & other finger foods
I think I need to start looking at my food magazines...I'm definitely in an uninspired cook mood. I blame the weather!
Thanks for checking out our dinners this week! See more menu plan Monday at OrgJunkie.com
Sounds yummy! We have homemade pizza and meatloaf on our menu for the week too! Great staples. :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha! They are totally my go-to's... especially homemade pizza (happens almost every week!) Have you ever had cream cheese on pizzas? It's so amazing--we add it to ours!
DeleteOoh, yum! Do you make a creamy sauce with the cream cheese or just put chunks on?
DeleteJust chunks! You may doubt it, but once you try it... I can almost assure you, you'll be hooked!
DeleteAfter Lucia was born, we got meals from David's labmates. One of them brought a Mexican cornbread casserole that was really good and I got the recipe, so I'm going to try it this week. I also made a ton of coconut curry yesterday so we'll be having the leftovers at least two nights.
ReplyDeleteYum! Mexican cornbread casserole sounds delicious! I'll have to find a recipe for that on the web...but we aren't big coconut or curry people around here :-)
DeleteHey, quick question...is your menu plan homemade or planned like busy moms?
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean by "homemade or planned like busy moms?"
DeleteI rarely use things from a box, if that's what you mean by homemade...but I do plan our meals...so that part is planned too...
i love using pinterest to help me plan meals, i pin recipes i see that look good then go back to my board when i'm meal planning to pick which ones to make. if i like it i move it to my 'tried and liked' board. if not, then i delete it. I post my meal plans now on http://mudhutmom.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the creamy chicken casserole, especially typing that there is not condensed soup in the recipe.
