Menu Plan Monday: January 18, 2009

I didn't make the meal that I planned for last Friday, so I am bumping that up to this week. I am also going to try to use my crock pot at least once this week because I like to relax with Mark on weeknights when he comes home and if I am cooking dinner, I usually have pots and dishes and cutting boards to clean up. I hate just leaving the stuff in the sink and I hate cleaning all night so making something in the crock pot allows me to make the mess in the morning and gives me plenty of time to have everything cleaned up by noon.

Here it is:

Monday: Penne Pasta with Sausage and Cheesy Garlic Bread

Tuesday: Baked Lemon Chicken and salad

Wednesday: Slow Cooker Pot Roast and spinach

Thursday: Progresso Corn Chowder and Grilled Cheese

Friday: Turkey Tacos and Mock Sangria

I haven't decided if I should plan for Saturdays and Sundays yet. We certainly didn't need meals to be planned this past weekend so I am thinking I won't for the time being.

Oh and check out I'm An Organizing Junkie. It's a pretty awesome blog.

Menu Plan Monday: January 11. 2010

Another one of my 2010 goals is to get more organized. I have been reading a blog about organization (Organizing Junkie)and discovered that one way a lot of people stay organized (and save $$) is by planning out meals for the week. I actually have been doing this for two weeks now but since another of my 2010 goals is to blog a lot more, I am going to start posting my meal plans (with recipes when it is something I don't make from the recipe box in my bain) every Sunday night/Monday Morning.

Here's this week's meals:
Monday: Lemon Chicken Soup with Spaghetti, Salad

Tuesday: Baked Pork Chops with Parmesan Sage Crust, spinach, rice

Wednesday: Turkey Chipotle Chili with Pepper Jack Cheese Corn Cake Toppers

Thursday: Leftovers

Friday: Penne Pasta with Sausage and Cheesy Garlic Bread, spinach salad

And go check out I'm an Organizing Junkie. It's a very cool blog.
