Menu Planning Monday





We did great following our menu until Friday hit. Then, not so much. We had to attend a funeral and my husband went out of town. So, I am still anxious to try the tortilla soup and mexican casserole. We will try to get them in this week. Of course, we are coming up on Halloween as well as the last week of volleyball for the girls. So, it will be busy, busy, busy. Luckily I cooked a ton of chicken that will make a couple of meals much easier. We will be participating in the trunk or treat at our church on Saturday, where we also have a chilli cook off. I will need to find a fun new recipe to try. Also, my daughter broke her foot on Friday and we will need to get into the orthopedist quickly. Luckily she has a great boot and some crutches. The fun never ends.
I have also been baking like crazy so I can send a fun Halloween package to my son in college.

Monday: chicken nachos
Tuesday: tortilla soup
Wednesday: lasagna (froze it a couple of weeks ago)
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: date night
Saturday: chicken or turkey chili (still looking for great recipe)
Sunday: mexican casserole

Menu Planning Monday





Last week we got back to town mid week and I never got a menu planned. We survived, but I really rely on this menu plan more than I ever could have imagined. I have started making a few freezer meals as the weeks are getting busier and we approach the holiday season. Otherwise we just want to eat all the goodies we are making.

Monday: fish tacos with leftover tilapia
Tuesday: steak, chicken burgers and hot dogs
Wednesday: roasted chicken
Thursday: spaghetti with turkey meatballs
Friday: tortilla soup with quesadillas
Saturday: date night
Sunday: mexican casserole

Menu Planning Monday



Last week the big hit were the taquitos. I made half chicken and half steak. They were really good. This coming week is busy with concerts and preparing to leave for fall break on Friday. We are going to visit my son at college and get some photos of the kids for Christmas cards. So, yesterday I cooked a crockpot full of chicken to help the week go smoother.

Monday: chicken tacos
Tuesday: ground turkey with bell peppers
Wednesday: ravioli(Costco)made into a lasagna
Thursday: spaghetti squash with chicken
Friday: On the road to Utah
Saturday: BYU Homecoming game
Sunday: Dinner with the Millers
