Menu Plan Monday

As I've said before, I am extremely grateful to Stacy for getting me back to menu planning. I used to do it faithfully, but then slacked off for a long time. But it is just amazing how spending that initial time each week to plan makes the rest of the week so much easier. And who doesn't need easier, huh?

A second thank you goes out to Laura. She's the one who hosts Menu Plan Monday. (And her site is so much fun!) I've never "officially" joined in, because I can't figure out how to put her cute little Menu Plan Monday picture thingie up here. But I decided that wasn't a good reason to not join in on the fun.

So, here's what we'll be eating this week...

*red beans & rice/bread

*almost stuffed peppers/corn muffins/applesauce

*easy roast beef sandwiches (new recipe)/cole slaw/chips

*salsa pasta/Italian bread/fruit

*Parmesan pork chops/small red potatoes/green beans/peanut butter date muffins

*chicken sandwiches/fries

*Arizona slop/tortilla chips/red grape salad

Some of these are held-over from last week...a few things threw a wrench into last week's plans.

It helps me so much knowing what I'll cook even if we don't get to all of it!
Almost stuffed peppers, interesting name but it sounds good!
Putting the little banner up might work similar to your pictures...Stacy might could help you, she has to talk/email me through lots of stuff!

Yeah, look at your menu! It all sounds delicious and yummy, can't wait to hear more about some of these recipes and how the new stuff works out for you. I'm so glad you decided to join :)

And Gail is right - the banner is just an image that you save, just like a photo, and insert the same way. So, whereever you save your photos too, save the menu banner and insert it with the proper filename. I can email you the banner, if you can't get it from laura's site :)

Yummy week, isn't it great to have it all planned and know what you need to get and take out to thaw and stuff?! Have a wonderful week Debi!

Would you mind setting an extra place??!! Everything sounds so good - my stomach literally rumbled at the mention of red beans & rice and stuffed peppers!

I have to plan too, more for my budget than for issues of time. But it's nice knowing what will be on the dinner table each week. :-)

I would love to have you come plan our meals...and prepare them. I'll have DH clean up LOL!

The almost stuffed peppers sounds intriguing :) Would you like to share the recipe?

take care,
Dawn

Everything sounds so good! This was my first week participating too - glad to see a fellow 'newbie'! I've been planning, but this was the first time I posted it to my blog. Your almost stuffed peppers have my interest too. I *think* I know what they are, but not sure if I'm right.
