Menu Plan Monday

After week one of Menu Planning, I think I am hooked.  For the first time ever I made only one trip to the grocery store, saved money and ate some really great food.

We are ready to kick off another week.  The shopping is done, and it should be smooth sailing from here.

Monday
Honey Sesame Chicken, Katie led the way with this one, and I am more than happy to follow for three reasons.
1. It got the Terpstra stamp of approval.
2. It involves a crockpot.
and...
3. Rice.  My #1 pregnancy craving. Enough said.

Tuesday
Pan Roasted Chicken with Green Beans.  This one is an oldie, but a goodie and instead of lemons we slice up green apples to give it our very own twist.

Wednesday
Taco Rice Bowl. Another Kt find, and it has been awhile since we indulged, so it is once again making an appearance on our table.

Thursday
It would be a normal week if we didn't have some salmon with rice.  And, for an extra special treat we will be having asparagus from the local produce stand.

Friday
Find your own dinner Friday.

Sweet Treat of the Week
Last week we had sweet success with Greek Yogurt Cupcakes, and we are hoping for the same with Sugar Free Vanilla Ice Cream this week.

Menu Plan Monday

I have been inspired once again, and I am debuting my first ever Meal Plan Monday.

The shopping is done, the plan is in place, and now all I have to do is pull the trigger at 4 p.m. each afternoon. If I can ignore the temptation and ease of frozen raviolis, my planning ahead will have been worth every minute.

Monday
We are kicking off the week with Sweet Potato Quinoa Burgers,  The boys say they "hate" black beans, but I am hoping to sneak them in to start off the week with  a score of   Mom: 1  Boys: 0

Tuesday
For the first time in awhile there is nothing on the schedule for a week night, so I will attempt a new dish, Spicy Peanut Chicken Salad, that has had my mouth watering since I saw it pinned for the first time.  I am going to substitute the noodles with brown rice and pray that it is just as yummy.

Wednesday
Our family favorite with be on the docket for tonight.   Salmon with brown rice.  Add some green onions, sweet peppers, avocado, and cherry tomatoes and we all wish there were leftovers.

Thursday
I will be giving a new Creamy Chicken Alfredo recipe a try.  Apparently spaghetti squash is out of season, so I will be replacing the squash with noodles.

Friday
Make your own meal night..... Everyone takes their pick of the remaining contents in the fridge.



What will be on your dinner table this week?
