Menu Planning Monday

I am so happy to be getting back to my menu planning this week. Last week was insane and I didn't get a menu up, knowing with family in town and being gone every day, there wouldn't be much time to cook. I am ready to stop eating junk. My body and mind feel terrible. Food truly does affect you in so many ways.
We have one more week with the decorations up because we always celebrate with my husband's family around new years. We will eat better leading up to the party.

Monday: pizza for family, chicken caesar salad for me
Tuesday: chicken pot pie
Wednesday: chicken burgers
Thursday: pasta with chicken meatballs (Costco)
Friday: date night
Saturday: Ham and sunshine potatoes (Holt family Christmas party)
Sunday: grilled steak and chicken

So, this week we will be eating from the freezer. I want to start my baking soon and I might need the room. Most of the items are from Costco. Pretty boring week, but hey, we are eating. I still haven't made the potato soup that has been on the menu the last 2 weeks, but my sister did and said it was delicious. I won't bother to attempt it this week.

Monday: cheese tortellini with shrimp
Tuesday: chicken tacos
Wednesday: tilapia
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: chicken burgers
Saturday: date night
Sunday: pork roast

Menu Planning Monday

Last week we really enjoyed the cranberry chicken . Maybe that's because it's the only thing I ended up making from my menu. However, I was completely unprepared with two of the four ingredients. So I had to improvise. In place of the catalina dressing and onion soup mix, I just used vidalia onion dressing. It was easy and still tasted good.

So, that means I get to move a couple of the recipes to this week. That makes planning easier. We got through two concerts last week and I think we only have one this week, but we have 2 different church dinners. Hooray.

Monday: Ground turkey with bell peppers
Tuesday: Relief Society Christmas Dinner
Wednesday: crockpot southwestern chicken
Thursday: baked potato soup
Friday: Church Christmas Dinner
Saturday: Husbands work party
Sunday: tilapia

We have lots going on this week and every week through December. Who doesn't? I really want to make good, healthy meals with all the junk that will be entering the house.

This week went so much better. I made three of the four planned meals. As we get closer to the holidays, I will probably be keeping it very simple and staying with tried and true recipes as opposed to trying out new things right now. I have been doing some baking. I am freezing for later use. Yesterday I made some fantastic banana bread muffins. I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving next week. I love to cook and after so many years I have mastered my turkey and potatoes and gravy. I will share those recipes next week. Let's just get through this week, shall we?

Monday: chicken tacos
Tuesday: tomato basil parmesan soup with cheese sandwiches
Wednesday: leftovers
Thursday: tilapia
Friday: pasta
Saturday: date night
Sunday: beef roast for Orson's 44th birthday

Menu Planning Monday

The past two weeks life has happened while I was making other plans. I didn't even bother to get a menu done last week. I know that with the holidays coming, I've got to get this under control. I have never had a busier time in my life. There is definitely more stress involved when I get home and don't have a dinner plan. Plus there is much less nutrition going in our mouths with last minute meals. This week is no less busy than the rest, and my husband is going out of town, which usually means we eat horribly. I am determined to get it together. Here goes nothing.

Monday: out to eat for Katie's 16th birthday
Tuesday: Katie's volleyball banquet at Tia Rosas
Wednesday: ground turkey with bell peppers
Thursday: spaghetti squash with marinara sauce
Friday: tomato basil parmesan soup
Saturday: date night
Sunday: turkey breast with mashed potatoes
