Dec 14 - 20

The Spicy Monte Cristos from last week were a huge hit! So much so - we're having them again this week :) I was hoping to make a menu to get us through to Christmas, but that's just not happening tonight. At least next week's run will (should) be a quick one.

Beef Stroganoff with Noodles and Peas

Spicy Monte Cristos with Chips and Fruit

Baked Fish and Chips with Veggies

Chicken Cesar Salad with Fresh Bread

Lasagna with Salad and Fresh Bread

Beans and Cornbread

Bean Burritos (using leftover beans)

Oct 26 - Nov 1

Thanks to another round of sickness, I have some roll-overs for this week. We also have a pot-luck meal with our home group and Halloween dinner plans. Easy menu making this week!

Matzo Ball Soup with Chicken (for my recovering tummy)

Lasagna (for pot-luck, cheating with the frozen kind)

Roast Chickens and Veggies

Chicken Pot Pie (using leftover chicken)

Stuffed Flounder/Fish Sticks and Rice

Shepherd's Pie (some day we'll get to this one!)

July 19 - 28

Before I forget, I'll start with reviews. The five-spice burgers were a huge hit all around. I couldn't believe the kids actually ate them up! Of course, they didn't eat the mushroom/cabbage topping, but still I was surprised. The Salsa Verde Steak Burritos were also a big hit and we now have plenty of left-overs. It'll be turned into enchiladas this week :) I didn't get around to the veggie pie as I realized my yogurt was expired when I went to make it - oops. I may try it another time, but for now I'm just going to use the veggies in other things this week (if they're still good!). I also haven't tried the lemon ice cream yet, but I'm hoping to tomorrow!

This menu should get us through the next week and a half with leftovers and probably a meal out sometime.

Grilled Cheese with Tomato Soup

Slow Cooker Orange Chicken with Rice and Veggies

Chicken Fried Rice

Lasagna with Salad and Bread

Tofu Stir Fry

Beef Enchiladas with Rice and Beans

Chili Lime Cobb Salad

Sandwiches with Fruit and Chips (water park night!)

May 2 - 9

Sorry to be MIA last week. Between some extra things in our schedules and roll-over meals, I ended up sneaking in a quick grocery trip mid-week and flying by the seat of my pants to get us through. Taking the week off from menu planning really messed me up, though. I was just not motivated to get back at it tonight (I'm trying to switch my shopping day to Sunday as it's getting quite difficult to shop with the girl). Anyway...here's the plan for the next week :)



Eggs Benedict



BLT's with Fruit



Tex-Mex Cesar Salad



French Dip Paninis with Carrot Sticks



Lasagna



Quinoa Burgers



Garlic Hanger Steaks with Sage Butter Gnocci
