After such a great weekend, I’m a little behind on the meal plan this week. But, I still wanted to post it for my own sake and for any of you out there that like to see how I try to make most of my meals from scratch. Are any of you out there? Sometimes I wonder if you guys like to see my meal plan each week, or if it’s something that you just skip or skim over? I post my meal plan because it keeps me accountable and on track, and because I pull up my meal plan post on my Google Reader and click on my recipe each day when I’m getting ready to make dinner. 🙂 That’s why I had such a hard time when I didn’t have internet for 2 weeks! But, if no one is really reading it or would miss it if I stopped posting it, then I might start posting something different on Mondays – what do you think?
Last week my new recipes went well. I especially liked the Crockpot Southwestern Beans recipe that my sister gave me, so I’ll have to post that recipe soon. It is a great meal for Meatless Mondays, and Jer even approved, which is pretty rare for recipes with lots of beans and no meat!
Here’s this week’s menu:
Meatless Monday – had leftover Southwestern Beans – Jer had a meeting
Tuesday – dinner with our small group – making Breakfast Bake with sausage (not using homemade crescent rolls, shhh! But I read the ingredients and they have hydrogenated oils – trans fat! Ahhh! So from now on I will be making them from scratch!)
Wednesday – Carnitas – meat in freezer from the last time we had them
Homemade Tortillas
Homemade Refried Beans
Thursday – Crockpot Chicken Parmesan and salad – hopefully from our garden!
Homemade Ranch Dressing (trying this for the first time!)
Friday – Salmon Patties, rice and veggies (New recipe, I’m trying to include fish in our menu every other week)
Saturday – Hamburgers on the grill
Homemade Buns
Sunday – Grilled Cheese and Homemade Chicken and Noodles from freezer
