Menu Planning Monday

OK, technically it's now Tuesday, but I'm still linking up with and the hundreds of other bloggers who post their weekly menus. Singletons to families, vegetarian, gluten-free, with recipes--you will find it all over there! Obviously, it's Thanksgiving week, so that cuts down on some cooking that I'll be doing--HA! What we ARE having though: Monday: We worked on leftovers! Tuesday: Bacon-wrapped steak on the grill, baked taters, veggie Wednesday: Chicken breasts with a Pinterest recipe of some sort, sides Thursday: Turkey Day!!! Friday: Shrimp via Pinterest, rice, green beans Saturday: Pork chops in the crock pot (Pinterest!), taters, peas Sunday: Goulash from the freezer, rolls A LOT of my meal inspirations come from Pinterest, as you may have noticed. If you're not on it, you really need to be =)

Menu Planning Monday

Another Monday, another weekly posting of what will be served at Casa Tuescher for the next week. Last week we only had one little hitch when Kurt had to attend a visitation during dinner so we resorted to take-out, but this RARELY happens when I meal plan!! My Pinterest tries last week were also hits (I thought), so I think we'll be seeing them again in the future. I'm linking up, as always to where at least a couple of hundred other blogs link up each week too. For us this week: Monday: Kurt had fire, the boys mooched, I had Cheerios =) Tuesday: Spaghetti and Meatballs, salad, garlic bread Wednesday: A Pinterest creation with Chicken breasts, red potatoes and green beans Thursday: Potato soup in the crock pot (Pinterest), Crusty bread Friday: Barbecue on buns, french fries (maybe homemade), baked beans Saturday: Steaks on the grill, baked taters, corn (Pinterest) Sunday: TBD, will pull something from the freezer!!

Menu Planning Monday

Well, after having the last 2 weeks off (funny how vaction fell right in the middle of 2 weeks of meal planning--HA!), I am back at it and linking up to (and I have to get that fixed too!!!) where you can find many more great ideas for dinners.

Menu Planning Monday

ANOTHER thing I've missed about blogging is posting my weekly menu plan. I think it helps keep me accountable in the kitchen, HA! Last weeks I made a couple of big meals that yielded leftovers to create meals for this week---who doesn't love that?! Well, maybe my husband if it's something he particularly enjoyed (glad you liked supper honey, don't you dare touch the leftovers!) Don't feel too sorry for him, he still has swiss steak, lasanga and turkey to nosh on =) So onto this week! I hope to link up to I'm an Organizing Junkie where you'll find lots of other great menus, some really thoughtful bloggers also include recipes! Monday: Kurt had fire, boys mooched, I had pot stickers Tuesday: Beef-Macaroni-Italiano casserole (using leftover roast beef!), corn Wednesday: Chicken enchiladas (leftover breasts), spanish rice, corn muffins Thursday: Pork tenderloin (will look for a recipe on Pinterest), sides Friday: Beef tips/gravy (stew meat!) in the crock pot over egg noodles, beans Saturday: "Beer can" chicken in the crockpot, potato packets Sunday: Burgers/brats on the grill, potato salad, baked beans

Menu Planning Monday!!

Wow! Remember when I used to be so good about doing this every week? Me too, but barely. I DO still feed my family, but we're so much more on the go in the summer months, as you probably are too. On my long days, the boys are usually anxious to hit the pool for the night swim (as am I) and Kurt is now working a swing shift and I can never remember which night to "assign" him, HA!!
Things are much easier when I do have a plan though, so here I go again, hopefully with gusto!
Monday: OK, not such a great start, I had a meeting and Kurt went to the pool with boys!
Tuesday: BBQ pulled pork sammies, pasta salad, slice cukes
Wednesday: Kielbasa, boiled taters, veggie
Thursday: Ravioli bake, salad, garlic bread
Friday: Turkey legs, stuffing, corn
Saturday: Chicken in some fashion, pasta side, veggie
Sunday: Tilapia, rice, beans

I'm going to link up to I'm an Organizing Junkie, as before

Menu Planning Monday!!

It's Monday again!! Does any day of the week come around any faster?! We did well with sticking to our plan last week, except I did go out of town on Saturday night, so Parker "cooked" frozen pizza for himself and the little boys!
We're moving into golf season now, so though I'll PLAN on a full week of menus, they are definately subject to tweaking depending on where he might be playing on what day. Noone will starve though, I promise!!
Linking, as always to I'm an Organizing Junkie, whose blog is always linked in my sidebar--HUNDREDS of ideas over there!!!!! For us this week:
Monday: Class for me, boys mooch
Tuesday: Chicken breasts, pasta, peas
Wednesday: BLT sandwiches, chips, cottage cheese
Thursday: Barbaques, french fries, baked beans
Friday: Scallops, baked potatoes, glazed carrots
Saturday: Pork tenderloin, roasted red potatoes, roasted asparagus
Sunday: Stuffed peppers, rice, corn

Menu Planning Monday!!

OK, first of all--I need to make a disclaimer: all menus are LOOSELY planned! I always reserve the right to make tweaks or outright changes where I deem them necessary or just b/c I darn well feel like it! There. That had to be said b/c in last weeks plan, I had biscuits listed with beef stew and then I didn't make them. And Kurt noticed! And commented! More than once!! HA! Sorry, honey =)
As always, I'm linking up with Laura's blog: I'm an Organizing Junkie. I've tried embedding the link to her blog right here, but it's not behaving right. Her link is always in my sidebar though, b/c she's one of my faves!!!
There could be lots of switch-a-roo'ing this week---no real exciting meat sales at the grocery store this week, so I'll be pulling from the freezer--very thankful for that option!
Monday: I had class
Tuesday: Ravioli and sauce, garlic bread
Wednesday: Turkey & gravy, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce
Thursday: Pasty =)
Friday: Salmon or Tilapia, rice, peas
Saturday: Chicken breasts made somehow, sides

Menu Planning Monday!!

Well, Spring Break is over, we're back from----oh wait, Spring Break wasn't a vacation get away for us! Oh well, it IS quieter around the house for poor Kurt, HA! We did pretty well with sticking to the menu last week, except for a snafu on Friday---WHOOPS! I'll be linking up with I'm an Organizing Junkie, as usual! The ideas that you can find over there are amazing. Really, if you're in a dinner-time rut and I'm not inspiring enough (sniff sniff), there are TONS of meals to look at and some talented ladies even provide recipes =) For us:
Monday: Class continues, but graduation does loom!
Tuesday: Chicken breasts (baked with Catalina dressing, cranberries and onion soup), rice, veggie

Menu Planning Monday!!

Monday again!!! But its the first Monday of daylight savings time, so that makes it a GREAT Monday =) Time to list our weekly meal plan, last week went well--I did forget all about the start of lent, so we did a quick switch-a-roo where needed and got by just fine. I tried a new crockpot recipe that I snabbed by checking out some of the menus posted over at I'm an Organizing Junkie, where I'll be linking up again. This week we're all on Spring Break, except Kurt and I have to work of course, so things are only slightly different--HA! For us this week:

Menu Planning Monday!!

Well, last week I was lame and didn't post a menu plan. BIG mistake--turns out, things run so much smoother when I KNOW what's happening at 5:30 and Kurt will be home in an hour to gobble down dinner on his too short supper break! The only thing I KNEW we were having was BBQ ribs and all the fixin's for FIL's B-day dinner (a week late, but not totally my fault, HA!) This week isn't TOO much better, as I have to go to Chicago for work for a few days, but the boys won't starve, even if the blog posting looks pretty slim this week =)
Monday: I had class!
Tuesday: Crispy, Creamy Chicken, rice, green beans
Wednesday: Papa Special ("beef tips and gravy over noodles") peas
