Menu Plan Monday – Week of September 21, 2009

Hi again! How was your last weekend of summer? You know, I really like fall, so I am anticipating it’s coming. But, I will sure miss the hot long days! I think my menu planning is gearing up for the change in season as well. I’ve got a lot of heat the oven type recipes! Here goes another week:

Monday: simple Pesto Peperoni Pizzas (read the comments for my recipe) since it’s going to be a hard day at work.
Tuesday: Crock pot Cream Cheese Chicken over pasta, veggies
Wednesday: Beef Vegetable soup (didn’t get done last week)
Thursday: Chicken Pot Pie
Friday: Sweet and sour Meatballs. rice, veggies (or leftovers!)

There you go! I’m going to try my best to stick to the plan! Again, if you would like more dinner ideas visit I’m an Organizing Junkie.

Menu Plan Monday – Week of September 14, 2009

Well hello there! How was your week? The only thing I’ll say about our week is, you don’t know how hard it is to cook with only a bar sized fridge! Forget fresh veggies, we we’re eating frozen corn most of the week because nothing would fit in the little fridge. Luckily our fridge is going to be repaired or replaced on Tuesday…only one more day! As it turns out though, after our fridge caught fire, we researched and found that our particular model had been a part of a major recall back in April. The good news about this is the fact that we get it fixed or replaced for free! (I sure hope it will be replaced as I’ll have a hard time trusting that fridge again!) Going along mostly with what’s in our freezer or pantry, here’s our menu for the week:

Monday: Shepard’s Pie

Tuesday: Baked Lemon pasta with chicken, salad

Wednesday: Beef Vegetable soup

Thursday: Chicken Quesadillas

Friday: Out? Or something super simple.

Menu Plan Monday – Week of September 7, 2009

Well, hello! Another new week huh? We had a pretty exciting Saturday afternoon, our fridge decided to catch on fire! All the wires are toast and since it’s a long weekend, we have to wait until Tuesday to see if it’s fixable or not. It’s a darn good thing we save for things like this! And it’s also a darn good thing we decided to hold off on some weekend plans due to the rainy weather. If we had gone ahead with the plans we would not have been home to catch the fire and I don’t really want to think about what could have happened! Needless to say, we are without a fridge for the time being. I guess we’ll be living off stuff I have stored away in our deep freezer.

Monday: Maybe eat out or something super simple
Tuesday: BBQ Beef in the crock pot, veggies
Wednesday: Cannelloni
Thursday: Frozen pizza
Friday: Tacos (didn’t have last week)

There you have it! I sure hope I can pull this off without a fridge! If you would like more menu inspiration visit I’m an Organizing Junkie!

Menu Plan…Tuesday – Week of September 1, 2009

Oh my, can you believe it is the first day of September already? I’m pretty sure summer just started! I guess not according to the calendar and all the activities I’ve been doing for the last while! A couple of weeks ago, I got a brand spankin’ new digital SLR camera, so I been trying to take pictures every chance I get! It’s so much fun. I’m still learning as I have never used this type of camera before. Here’s a picture that I took yesterday while Hubby and I were on a 22 km bike ride:


Isn’t it cute? It was quite funny, every time I would take a picture, this little guy would seem to strike a new pose!

Alright, I’m guessing you’re probably not here to read me go on and on about my camera. I imagine you’re here to see what we’re eating this week. Here you go:

Monday: We ate out!
Tuesday: Lemon Chicken, Greek Salad, potatoes and corn on the cob
Wednesday: Funky Chicken pasta
Thursday: Samosas
Friday: Beef Tacos with all the fixin’s

Menu Plan Monday – Week of July 27, 2009


Well hello again! Is it seriously already the last week of July? Ugh. I thought summer just started! Last week, our favourites were the Peanut Chicken Pasta and the Teriyaki Ginger Pork. The Peanut Chicken pasta has actually been a favourite for quite a few years. But the pork was a new one! This week I’m sort of flying by the seat of my pants and planning as I type. haha!

Monday: Dinner out, we’re headed to a nearby city
Tuesday: Chicken kabobs, pasta salad, corn on the cob, potatoes (in laws are joining us!)
Wednesday: Crock pot BBQ pork chops, rice, salad?
Thursday: Grilled Mexican Lime Chicken, veggies, leftover pasta salad
Friday: Tacos with all the fixings

There you go. How does that sound? And it only took me 10 minutes to make up the menu! Not bad! As usual you can visit I’m an Organizing Junkie for more menu ideas.
