Menu Plan

I'm hoping to start updating this again but I'm not making any promises!  My son started kindergarten this year, plays soccer, daughter started dance and goes to preschool, and I'm expecting our third child, a girl, in early Feb.  So needless to say I've been making fast and easy dinners, usually those tried and true recipes, and not so many new ones and haven't had much to post.

Here's the plan for this week:

~Fajitas, rice, fruit
~Tortellini Soup, garlic bread, fruit
~Enchiladas, corn, fruit
~BLTs, chips, fruit

Menu Plan

Finally trying some new things this coming week!

~Twice Baked Potatoes
~Shrimp Lorraine
~Teriyaki Chicken
~Cheesy Burger, Rice, and Broccoli Skillet
~Honey Mustard Pork Chops

Two nights this weekend we'll be out of town for Easter and I'm not cookin'!

Menu Plan

~No meat Friday:  fish fry at our church for the hubby and kids, probably veggie sub from Subway for me
~Chicken Puffs (from freezer), corn, fruit
~Nachos, fruit
~Sloppy Jo, baked potatos
~Red Beans and Rice, fruit
~Broccoli and Cauliflower Casserole, garlic bread, fruit - NEW!
~Egg Muffins, fruit, toast - NEW!

Menu Plan

I've been neglecting my blog.  Had a short trip, sick kids and just an overall crazy schedule lately.  I'm hoping it all gets better soon.  For now, here's my plan for the next week or so.

~Zucchini Casserole - from last week we never got to.  I went ahead and made it and stuck it in the freezer.  Will post soon I hope.
~String Pie, fresh string beans
~Crockpot Pork Chops, mashed potatoes, blueberry muffins
~Broccoli Cheese Soup, fruit, breadsticks
~Shepherd's Pie, fruit
~Leftovers
~Baked Potatoes
~Pizza Night

Menu Plan

Things have been a little crazy lately but I will get some posts up from last week as soon as I can.  Here's my next menu that will probably last more than a week.

~Chevy's:  got a Groupon to use before it expires.
~Chicken Noodle Soup from a friend
~Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry, broccoli, fruit
~Lasagna Soup, crescent rolls
~Chicken Puffs, zucchini casserole - both NEW!
~Grilled Turkey and Swiss Sandwiches, tater tots, fruit - NEW!
~String Pie, green beans - NEW!
~Leftovers
~Waffles/Breakfast Night, or just something quick like pizza or ravioli

Menu Plan

I'm stretching this next plan over a little more than a week.  I got this past menu to last 9 days and this one should last awhile too.  It's kinda nice not going grocery shopping every week!

~Southwest Turkey Soup, biscuits, fruit
~Enchiritos, corn, fruit
~Honey Chicken Bites (processed dinner night!  Those Tyson things in the freezer section.), onion rings, maybe rice and veggies
~Tilapia - NEW -, broccoli
~Pizza
~Pancakes and Sausage
~Leftovers/Eat Out
~Franks and Beans, cornbread - the kids and I are heading out of town for a few days next week so I'll be making this for hubby to throw in the oven for himself one night, per his request.

Menu Plan

Sorry about the lack of posts.  My sister had my new baby niece on Monday and this week has been kind of crazy.

Here's my menu that I had for the past week or so, that will continue until Sunday:

~Wild Rice Chicken Supreme (x2 for freezer), green beans
~Cheddar Sausages (you know, the Beddar Cheddar...SO good, yet SO bad.  Got the turkey ones for myself), scrambled eggs (with veggies for me)
~Crockpot Tamale Pie (x2), fruit
~Southwest Turkey Soup - NEW - fruit, maybe some bread
~Baked Tortellini with Spinach and Walnuts - NEW - fruit, garlic bread
~Eat Out...the weather was amazing here yesterday, 75 degrees, so we went to one of our favorite places to eat outside.
~Leftovers

I'll be posting the SW Soup and Baked Tortellini recipes soon.  And I'll apologize in advance for any lack of posting, since there are a few days I'll be at my sister's and possibly a few more if the baby goes back to the hospital.

Menu Plan

We were supposed to go out tonight for my husband's birthday but thanks to the lovely snow our babysitter, aka my mom, can't make it.  So...not sure what we'll do tonight.

~Breaded Catfish, calico beans, cornbread
~Soup, garlic bread (just canned soup I had bought and we've never eaten.  Plus we have swim lessons two nights a week for the next four weeks so this will help time-wise.)
~Quesadillas:  chicken and cheese for family, veggie and black bean for me, corn, fruit
~Chicken Breasts (honey mustard and plum glazed), macaroni salad, onion rings, biscuits
~Italian Meatball Casserole, green beans
~Beddar Cheddar sausages (turkey for me), scrambled eggs (w/ veggies for me), fruit
~Nachos for the Super Bowl

Menu Plan

~Burritos w/ Cilantro Lime Rice, fruit
~Potato Soup, corn, garlic bread
~Lil' Cheddar Meatloaves, green beans, bread, fruit
~French Toast Casserole (hopefully I make this one this week since it's been on my  menu for a few weeks now and keeps getting pushed back), sausages
~Hub's Bday:  KFC chicken strips, bacon cheese potatoes, red lobster biscuits, chocolate pie
~Pizza
~Leftovers
~Chocolate Butterhorns
~Pumpkin Muffins

Menu Plan

So I don't really do my menu on Mondays necessarily so I'll just call it Menu Plan and post whenever my new week starts, which for us is today!

We're headed out of town tonight so I'll be eating out with my sisters while the hubby and kids go to the in-laws.  Tomorrow we're headed home so depending on what time it is we'll be eating out again or eating leftovers or something quick.

The rest of the week looks like this:

~Spaghetti & Meatballs, biscuits, calico beans
~Soy Glazed Salmon, garlic noodles, fruit
~French Toast Casserole, sausages, fruit (didn't get to last week)
