Menu Planning Monday: 2/22/2010

I didn't get to make the menu for last week...I was running behind all last week it seemed. It was Nate's off week, so we spent a lot of time together, too. I tried Thai food for the first time and it was AMAZING! Also, I made Butter Chicken last night (thanks again, Tami, for the recipe) and it turned out pretty well. All in all, it was a really busy week. However, I was determined to get the menu finished this week.

After this it's time to Shred with Jillian Michaels, which I'm so not looking forward to. However, it's day 3 so I can't slack off. I need to see some changes! I'm hoping that exercising will not only help with my weight, but my psoriasis, too. You know, as stress relief. :-)

Monday - Chili, Mexican Cornbread

Tuesday - Lasagna, Salad

Wednesday - Pork Chops, Cheddar Jack Mac, Broccoli

Thursday - Chicken Enchiladas, Rice, Refried Beans

Friday - Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich, Hashbrowns

Saturday - Fish Filet, Green Beans, Corn Casserole

Sunday - Steak, Baked Potatoes, Salad

Don't forget, I'm eating low carb so this menu is for my family!

Menu Planning Monday: 02/08/2010

It's been a long day already and it's only a little after two in the afternoon! Baby D woke up at five this morning, jumping around in his bed and 'talking'. It was cute, but, while he wanted to play, I wanted to get his diaper changed and back in bed, so we compromised. He was changed and had a cup of milk, then went back to sleep. I got a bit more rest before having to take the girls to school, so I feel a lot better than I would if I'd been up since five in the morning!

Since Baby D is sleeping, I thought I would sneak on here and post my weekly menu. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are for the kids only. Here it is in all it's glory.

Menu Planning Monday: 09/07/2009

And another Monday rolls around waaaay too quickly. Here is the newest meal plan. I’m really thinking about doing this every 2 weeks!

Menu Planning Monday: 09/01/2009

Okay, it’s really Tuesday, but since yesterday was my anniversary, I took a little break. Here is the menu for this week.

Menu Planning Monday: 8/10/2009

It's that time again. Yes, Menu Planning Monday! While reading over last week's menu, I realized how much better my menu would be if I went from Tuesday to Monday since I make the menus on Monday and do the Shopping on Tuesday. It just makes more sense, don't you think?

Here is my menu for this coming week. Again, it's plain, simple, and easy. I've been looking at new recipes, but my children (and myself, honestly) are so picky, that it's difficult to find one. However, modifying the ones that I think we would like usually works.

Have a good day!

p.s. I just noticed that I have pinto beans down 2x on Wednesday! That's suppose to be cornbread at the end. Oopps!

Menu Planning Monday: 08/03/2009

I plan my Menu's on Monday's because it's the easiest day to do it. It's the beginning of the week and, after the craziness of the weekend with the kids being home all day, it's a perfect day to assess the food in the kitchen cabinets and refrigerator.

I've planned my menu for this week. We have some picky eaters and, I have to admit, I'm not that creative when it comes to cooking. I could use some new ideas. Here is my plan for this week. Do you have any good ideas for new recipes? I've been following a blog called, Controlling My Chaos and she has some amazing recipes. I just need to execute them! :-)

Have a great day!
