Menu Plan Monday

I haven't posted my menu plans for a while because well I haven't really really been on the ball with my menus lately.  I have been cooking because everyone still needs to eat.  I just haven't been puttin' love in to it, if you know what I mean. 

On of my besties and I came up with a little plan that I think has inspired me a bit.  We both have the Fix it and Forget it Big Book but haven't really done much with it.  So, we have made a pack to cook at least 1 meal from it a week, really we are shooting for 2 per week but we just wanted to give ourselves a little grace, just in case life happens. We are going to rate each recipe from 1-10 and share any modifications that we made to the recipe.  My sister and possibly a few other friends are supposed to be joining us (note to sister and friends - you all need to get on the ball, love you! )

I also recently got the $5 Dinner Mom  cookbook and I am working on a few more recipes from the Make it Fast Cook it Slow cookbook.  And I got  a new stove, not brand new, just new to me so that also has me in the cooking kinda mood.  Here is what I have cookin this week...

Monday
Lunch - PB & J's w/ cantaloupe
Dinner - For Meatless Monday we has Breakfast Night, nothing real fancy.  The Hubs likes fried eggs on toast with cheese so that is what we had, along with some fruit.

Tuesday
Lunch - Grilled Cheese w/ Peaches and Blueberries
Dinner - Cog Au Vin, can't pronounce it but we are still gonna eat it.  It sounds  super yummy! This is from the Make it Fast Cook it Slow CKBK

Wednesday
Lunch - Dogs and Mac & Cheese with Carrots and Apples
Dinner - Pizza Rice w/ Green Beans.  Everything my buddy and I go thru our cookbooks together via the telephone I am always drawn to this recipe for some reason.  It sounds kid friendly and who doesn't love PIZZA!  This is my 1 of 2 from the Fix it and Forget it Big CKBK.

Thursday
Lunch - Turkey & Cheese Rolls w/ Bananas and Strawberries
Dinner - Salsa Chicken  from Make it Fast Cook it Slow, over Rice w/ corn

Friday
Lunch - PB&J's w/ melon
Dinner - Two Cheeses  Macaroni w/ Piggie's in a Blanket w/ Broccoli. This is my 2 of 2 from the Big Book.  The two cheeses are cheddar and cottage cheese, shhhh don't tell my kids,  some of them do NOT like cottage cheese.  Should be very interesting.   I am so thankful that Trader Joe's now sells crescent rolls! Welcome back pigs in a blanket and veggie pizzas!

Saturday
Lunch - Chicken Nuggets, Applesauce and Peaches
Dinner - Pizza Wrap with Fruit and Carrots.  These are from the $5 Mom CKBK

Sunday
Lunch - Ham & Cheese Melts w/ Fruit
Dinner - Spaghetti w/ Fresh Bread (Lord willing) and Salad.  A friend gave me an awesome recipe for homemade sauce, it is a W O W!!  It is so easy to make.  It is very hard to buy store bought anymore.  I will post the recipe last this week. 


Do you menu plan??
