Menu Monday

Yes it is Sunday but out net is going in and out LOTS so decided to post this while I could!

Almost all these recipes I have stolen borrowed from Shannon! Thanks Shannon!!!

Saturday- Going to a friends house so will prob cookout/potluck We stayed home had Sundays meal so now that throws the whole week off but that is ok because at least we know what we can have other nights, tossing in a night with chili dogs and french fries to make up for it :)

Sunday-Steak on the grill, baked potatoes, corn on the cob(from Farmers Market)(I will do lots of food prep so less work during the week, this leaves more time for family walks each night)

Monday- Homemade mac n cheese with polish sausages(made on the grill yesterday yum)

Tuesday-Savory Chicken Rollups

Wednesday- Homemade Taco Bell Mexican Pizzas

Thursday- Japanese curry (I add bits of potato,onion and carrot to the sauce) over brown rice(I skip the stovetop step though and just pour water from my electric kettle and it works perfect!) served with some tyson chicken strips mixed in (our fave could eat this every week and we just might for awhile!)

Friday- Homemade Buffalo Wing Pizza (another fave I made up, recipe below)

Steph's Homemade Buffalo Wing Pizza
1 tube pilsbury thin pizza crust
mozzarella
ranch dressing
celery
pre-baked tyson chicken strips (I like ones that are the crispy style or country style the best)
Franks Hot Sauce (recently bought some offbrand from dollar store though and it tastes just the same!)

1. Prebake crust for 5 to 10 mins just so it is almost done but not all the way done
2. Spread chopped up bits of the chicken and celery on crust
3. Squirt some hot sauce all over it (don't overdo it as each person can always add more later)
4. Mozzarella it up!
5. Dash of extra hot sauce
6. Bake until all melty and crust is done
7. Take out Squirt ranch dressing on top and serve!

Menu Monday

Left with lots of ground hamburger this week so gotta get creative with that…




Monday- Tacos on flour tortillas with fat free refried beans (cheese to make up for the lack of fat though)



Tuesday- Lasagna (made the meat up along with the taco meat and then assembled it so I just have to pop into the oven!), texas toast



Wednesday- Pasta creation made with leftover lasagna noodles (seriously why do so many come in the box? I need to learn to not make it all up at once as usually toss all the extra!) No idea what I will do besides sauce and noodles….might make up something completely different who knows



Thursday- burgers, French fries



Friday- leftover lasagna most likely!



So all in all a not too healthy week planned but we are living paycheck to paycheck right now due to upcoming travels to England this fall so we gotta do what we gotta do!

Grub o' The Week

Ok so it is Wednesday evening and I am totally stealing Shannon's idea to start menu planning and posting it here on my blog :) I figure the zofran has kicked in so why not become a bit more organized with menu planning. I mean shoot I have done it before and it truly makes cooking and life that much easier! So this week was a bit off of course due to me being sicker than sick and not wanting to deal with food so please disregard all the junk we ingested ;)

Monday: No idea what the husband ate and frankly I did not care

Tuesday:(Got meds and was feeling MUCH better) Baked up some ready meal bbq pork riblets we then put on hamburger buns ala McRib sandwich style along with salads

Wednesday: (Ready meal time again) salsibury steaks with mashed potatoes and salads(I even cut up cukes and tomatos wowsa!)

Thursday: Cream Cheese Crock Pot Chicken (first seen on Shannon's site) over whole wheat pasta and served with salad (what can I say I prefer cold veg over hot ones!)

Friday: Marinated steaks, salad, (wish I had potatoes) and prob some sort of rice

Saturday: Going to a grill your own pizza party

Sunday: (another recipe I am trying from Shannon) Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole made with the leftover chicken from Thursday, salad or maybe a hot veg!
