I told Katie that I'd post this week's menu plan here on the blog so here it is.....at the bottom of the post. :)
Menu planning is one of my favorite household tasks. The kids like helping me come up with ideas and are helping more and more in the kitchen. Elle made a batch of Snickerdoodle cookies almost completely on her own recently and Thomas is still big into making breakfast and is willing to help with dinner anytime I ask.
A couple of months ago we discovered the show Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala Quinn. It is my new favorite and now I know why I've always loved Martha's Everyday Food magazine. Lucinda also contributes to it. The kids like watching it with me. I think because she has her sons helping her on several of the shows. Thomas gave me her cookbook for my birthday last month and I've made several recipes from it and most have been 'make agains'. We recently saw this episode and we've made the Ramen Noodle Upgrade a couple of times. It's what is pictured above. We've renamed it Peanut Butter Ramen. I know it's not healthy but it is a fun change of pace from sandwiches and leftovers for lunch every now and then.

menu plan monday
Last week's menu was overall a success. I tried three new recipes. Two of them are keepers (the Southwest Chicken Eggrolls and the Turkey Bolognese) but not the Spring Green Risotto. It was good the night we had it but was terrible the next day reheated for lunch so that kinda ruined it for me. It makes a lot too so it would just be so much wasted food to throw out the leftovers. Two out of three isn't bad though!
This week I have a few more new recipes to try out. The meatless meal of the week is the Black Bean Burrito Bake. With more snow on the way Scott requested Taco Soup and Cinnamon Rolls for dessert, a good dinner to have on a cold snowy night. I haven't attempted cinnamon rolls in a very, very long time so hopefully with the Pioneer Woman's recipe they will turn out good!

menu plan
Here's the menu for the week at our house. I stumbled across this blog, My Month of Meals, over the weekend. I found several recipes that I am looking forward to trying and I liked reading her thoughts about menu planning. While I don't plan to make my menus a month at a time because I'd rather plan them weekly around the sale items at the grocery store, she did motivate me to finally get going on a master list of all of the meals that we enjoy. I think it will be so handy to have the list to reference instead of trying to think of things off the top of my head. I also like her idea of meal goals. I'm still thinking this through for us but I have recently been making a few more meatless meals and would like to continue with this. Maybe start out with one a week? This week's meatless meal is the Spring Garden Risotto. I saw Ina Garten make it on her Back to Basics show on Food Network. Peas, asparagus and creamy rice....sounds good to me! I'll let you know if it's a 'make again'!

Last week I got back on track with menu planning. I had let it slide because of the holidays and just being too busy to take the time to do it. What a difference it makes in the grocery budget to take the time to plan out our meals, read the ad and clip coupons! Without a plan, I was always making quick trips to the store and spending more than I wanted to. I have been doing a lot of reading on moneysavingmom.com and it is inspiring! I can't take advantage of many of the offers she shares because we don't have a lot of shopping options where I live but it is still great to read and learn all kinds of tips to make the most of every dollar!
Here is what will be cooking around here this week -
Breakfasts:
Cinnamon-Swirl Pear Bread
Egg Sandwiches
Oatmeal with Blueberries
Lunches:
Leftovers
Tuna Pea Pasta Salad
Sandwiches
Kicked up Ramen (I like to make the chicken ramen noodle soup but simmer some carrots and celery in the broth for awhile before adding the noodles to try to make it a little more nutritious.)
Dinners:
Monday - Turkey Stew and Dumplings
Tuesday - Buffalo Chicken Strips with Blue Cheese Salad
Wednesday - White Chicken Chili
Thursday - Pizza & Salad
Friday - Tacos
Saturday - BBQ Ribs, Baked Potatoes, Baked Beans, Corn, Cornbread Muffins
Sunday - Super Bowl Party, Go Cardinals! - Appetizers, my favorite! - Piglets in a Blanket, Corn & Black Bean Salsa & Tortilla Chips

Last week I got Ina Garten's new cookbook, Back to Basics. There are so many recipes that I want to try in it! This week I am looking forward to trying her recipe for Roasted Shrimp Cocktail. I like shrimp but don't care for it cold like in most shrimp cocktail so am looking forward to giving it a try this way. Scott and I went out for dinner on Friday night and I had a salad with a yummy vinaigrette and goat cheese on it and hope that her recipe for Salad with Warm Goat Cheese comes close to it.

I've still been menu planning but haven't been posting them to the blog. Scott said that it was always nice to know what we were having though so I'm posting it for him. :) I am trying two new recipes this week. The first is for Monkey bread. It's from my parent's church cookbook so it's gotta be a good one right?! I love church cookbooks because they are full of all the tried and true recipes that are simple and turn out great everytime. The other dish I want to make I am going to try to come up with a recipe for or do some more searching online and hopefully find a good copycat version. It's for the Quesadilla Explosion Salad from Chili's restaurant. We met Scott's parents for lunch there to pick up Thomas and Elle a couple of weekends ago and it was very good. I wrote down everything that I thought was in it on the way home. I think I already have a good portion of it figured out since it reminded me so much of the Corn and Black Bean Salsa I make on a regular basis in the summer. If it turns out, I'll share my recipe!Breakfasts:
Eggs & Toast
Monkey Bread
Oatmeal
Cold Cereal
Blueberry Scones
Lunches:
Leftovers
Sandwiches
Dinners:
Monday - Meatballs, Cheesy Potatoes, Garden Salad
Tuesday - Chicken Spaghetti, Steamed Peas, Fruit
Wednesday - Quesadilla Explosion Salad
Thursday - Leftovers
Friday - Grilled Shrimp, Beef Kabobs with peppers and mushrooms, Bruschetta
Saturday - Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Coleslaw, Potato Salad, Raw Veggies
Sunday - Grilled Chicken Sandwiches, Potatoe Salad, Fruit
Desserts:
We will be eating this cake for most of the week. It's one of Scott's favorites so I made it for him for Father's Day yesterday.

I'm looking forward to the new recipes I am trying in this week's menu plan. Thomas loves the Chinese Sticky Ribs at our local Chinese restaurant and I'm hoping that the recipe I have for them turns out even better. They sure look good in the picture in the cookbook! I'm going to save enough ribs to turn them into Pork Fried Rice the next night.My baby turns 2 on Friday so I'm making a meal she loves....Macaroni and Cheese and her favorite veggie, steamed peas. I haven't decided on the cake. She'll be happy with anything since she's never met a dessert she didn't like. She gets that from her mama! :)

This week we are finishing our study of Germany so we'll be making a German meal of Sauerkraut and Brats on Thursday. Hopefully it turns out ok. I'm not a fan of sauerkraut but am going to try a recipe that uses Reisling wine instead of brine. Thomas and Elle are going to make a cake this week after reading The Duchess Bakes a Cake. They haven't decided what kind they are going to make but that will be the dessert for the meal.A couple of weeks ago we got a quarter of a beef from a friend of Scott's and it is so nice to have a freezer full of meat. Last night we had french dip sandwiches after one of the roasts cooked all day in the crockpot with a packet of onion soup mix. Tonight I'm making vegetable beef soup with the leftover meat and au jus. I'm sure there won't be enough left but another good idea to stretch that meal even farther is if there is leftover vegetable beef soup, serve it the following night over baked potatoes for a dinner of Beef Soup Spuds. I love those meals that can do double, even triple, duty!

Even though Scott is traveling for work this week (and has been since last Thursday....miss you Honey!!) I still went ahead with a menu plan and I am so glad I did. I have so much work to do around here (major cleaning, staining, and painting is in full force around here!) and now I won't have the stress of wondering what I'm going to make when my kids start telling me how hungry they are. Most of the meals are their favorites. Thomas just loves the Leek and Potato Soup and all of them go crazy about the Macaroni and Cheese. I also had to throw in a couple of 'chick meals' that I like to make when Scott is gone. I picked the majority of my meals from Martha's cookbook, Great Food Fast, that I am currently borrowing from the library. I was surprised to find that all of the recipes are also on her website. Hope you all have a great week!Monday

Here is the game plan for meals this week. We never did have the Tuna Pea Pasta Salad or Pizza last week so they got moved to this week. Thomas has took charge of making eggs for breakfast the past couple of days. He's been making egg sandwiches - one egg, cooked till almost hard, put on a piece of toasted bread and topped with a slice of American cheese. This is a favorite breakfast in our house and is one that actually keeps you full till lunchtime.I also didn't get a chance to try out my new recipe for Cherry Pie last week. I bought the wrong type of cherries at the store but hope to find the right ones today so that we can have it for dessert on Valentine's day.

I'm so happy to finally have a menu plan for the week! It's so nice to have a plan for every meal and to get to try out a couple of new recipes. Also, my hubby doesn't have to travel this week so I'm looking forward to making some of his favorites. :) I've had Mrs. U's recipe for Pasta e Fagioli and Savory Cheese Rolls at the top of my 'want to try recipes' for awhile now along with Martha's Fish Po' Boy sandwiches. Sometime this week I am also going to try a new recipe for Cherry Pie. If it's good I'll share recipe!

Here is my menu plan for the week. We didn't get to the baked french toast casserole or the orange chicken last week so those are on the menu this week. We were invited to a friend's house on Friday night for dinner last week and had a white chicken chili there that I have to get the recipe for. It was so good and everyone gobbled it right up!I am really loving menu planning. It can take me awhile to actually decide what to make but it is so nice to have a plan for each meal of the week. Thomas enjoyed having his own thing to make last week so we are going to try to make it a weekly thing. Elle wants in on the fun too so she has her own special recipe she gets to make too.
