Menu Plan Monday

I've been a little behind posting my menus.  So, I'm hoping to get back on track by sharing my plans here.

Monday:  Broiled London Broil w/ spinach, broccoli and cauliflower casserole

Tuesday:  Slow cooker French dip sammies and Caesar salad

                      

Wednesday: Baked French toast, bacon, and eggs

Thursday: Italian style chicken breasts, broccoli, and brown rice

Friday: Grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and broccoli

Saturday: Slow cooker chicken Chile spaghetti

                        

I linked up to two slow cooker recipes I found on-line.  I'll let you know how they turn out.  I'm planning to make a few changes to both in hopes of making them a little healthier.

Menu Monday

I cannot believe it is February.  Time is flying by way too fast.  On a different note, I'm trying to get some food out of my freezer.  So, my goal is to stay out of the grocery store this week and use only what I have on hand.  I will admit, I had to borrow a chili seasoning pack from my sister...I'm not counting that.  Anyway, this is a hectic week with school/job related appointments.  So, nothing on my menu plan requires much time.  I hope to create two printable recipe cards this week (since I am behind from last week).  That will all depend on how diligently I accomplish everything else on my "to-do" list.

Monday:  Homemade Chili

Tuesday:  Athens Teaching and Dad's Gubernatorial Debate

Wednesday:  Leftover Chili Bake

Thursday:  Herb Chicken and Rice Crock Pot Meal

Friday:  Southern Style Oven Fried Chicken

Menu Monday

Well, I'm back with my second Menu Monday.

Don't you like my little my digital header I created for Menu Monday???

Anyway, I'm super impressed with myself for following the menu last week.  I cooked all I planned, albeit not on the days I planned.  My parents even talked me into bringing one of my meals to their house...to share!

This week, I am going out of town on Thursday (a little crafting weekend getaway).  So, I am only menu planning through Wednesday.  Of course, I'll post a printable card for one of the recipes by Friday.

Menu for the Week of January 25th:

Monday: Southern Style Oven Fried Chicken

Tuesday: Slow Cooker Sour Cream and Salsa Chicken

Wednesday:  Mexican Chicken Soup (from leftovers)

Thursday:  Out of town

Friday:  Out of town

Menu Plan Monday

One of my goals for the year involves becoming more financially savvy.  Considering I'm a PhD student right now and my parents are helping to support my endeavor...they are probably thrilled I'm doing this!  I'm trying to slowly add practices to my life that help me save or be more organized with my finances.  One of these practices involves menu-planning.

My sister and I were really good about menu-planning and swapping leftovers (as you probably remember from this post), but with the holidays we got out of the swing of it.  So, I'm planning to post my menu on Mondays, link up to a few menu plan web-sites, and provide you with a recipe or two along the way.  Hopefully, you'll enjoy them.

Monday: Slow Cooker Pot Roast

Tuesday: French Dip Sammies (from leftovers)

Wednesday: Easy Pot Pie (from leftovers)

Thursday: Chicken and Broccoli Braids

Friday: Brie Marmalade Appetizer (I'm having dinner with some friends, and I'm responsible for bringing an appetizer).  Also, I'll feature this recipe on Friday.
