Menu Planning Monday

School is finally out and the short summer has begun. The kids will be going back on August 10. Today we have the holiday and on Thursday my 3 older kids are going on a pioneer trek with our church youth group. Plus we have 2 birthdays this week, so I'm thinking the menu will be unusual.

Monday: leftovers
Tuesday: tacos
Wednesday: my birthday dinner
Thursday: spaghetti and meatballs
Friday: turkey burgers and hot dogs
Saturday: date night
Sunday: Nathan's birthday dinner

Menu Planning Monday

This week went horribly wrong. On Tuesday I rolled my ankle. The damage was pretty bad and I have been on crutches ever since. I am hoping to be cleared to walk tomorrow. Thank goodness for the meal plan. However, we didn't really stick to it, but were still able to have meals thanks to my kids and it's nice to have 2 teenage drivers who can go to the store for me. So, some of the items are going to be moved to this week. This is our last week of school and I am so ready for the summer break.

Monday: leftovers
Tuesday: crockpot chicken tacos
Wednesday: grilled shrimp brushetta salad
Thursday: chicken pesto pizza
Friday: 1st day of summer surprise
Saturday: out for Ally's birthday (my sister)
Sunday: BBQ (our easy Sunday go to meal)

Today my 10 year old noticed something about our menu. She said that every Monday we had some kind of taco or Mexican dish. She is so observant. On Sunday, I try to cook enough to use for Monday's meal. This is just one way to make life a little simpler. Over the last few weeks I have been scheduling leftovers for Thursday nights. So on Tuesday and Wednesday I make more than we need so we have extra. Right now this is what works for my family. What tricks do you use to get through your week?

Monday: chicken and steak fajitas
Tuesday: chicken caesar wraps
Wednesday: Grilled shrimp brushetta salad
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: chicken pesto pizza
Saturday: date night
Sunday: crockpot chicken tacos

I hope you had a wonderful mother's day. We had a delicious BBQ of chicken and steak and I was treated to one of my favorites, crab legs. My son got a temp job at edible arrangements and brought me a beautiful fruit boquet.

Things are starting to speed up as we hit the last couple weeks of school. The temperature has also heated up so that means the oven goes on hiatus for a while. The grill and crock pot are my best friends during the summer months.

Monday: chicken and steak fajitas
Tuesday: bbq chicken salad
Wednesday: herbed shrimp
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: turkey burgers and hot dogs
Saturday: date night
Sunday: crock pot portk roast

Menu Planning Monday

Wow, last week seemed really, really long. It's a shame considering that it was still April and May is the busiest month of our year with all of the year end school events. Oh well! What would I do without my menu plan. We wouldn't eat as well. With all the goals that have been set and forgotten over the years, I am so happy that this one has stuck. I am going on a year and a half of doing a weekly menu. It has become the staple of my Sunday night. I look forward to Monday morning and seeing how close to the top I can get on Organizing Junkie's Menu Planning Monday link up. It has been a blast to see where people visit my site from. I've seen as far away as Australia and Japan.

This week, I'd love to have you comment and tell me where you are visiting from and I will comment on your blog in return.

Monday: mahi mahi

Tuesday: crockpot chicken

Wednesday: spaghetti and meatballs (sorry for the repeat from last week)

Thursday: leftovers

Friday: out with my sweetie

Saturday: tacos

Sunday: mother's day feast, to be determined and cooked by family

Sorry there are no links this week. Keepin it really simple.
