Menu for Week of 2/6/12

Monday means menu.  A triple alliteration. That allows me to seem more spectacular than I really feel.  I have been tired.  Really, really tired.  This is my year of focus and I recognize my focus is sliding. 

Optimistically,  I am focusing on decluttering and homeschooling.  Yep.  That is the kind of wild and crazy life I lead.  I have also been on a Pinterest recipe finding “kick” lately.  So far, we have not enjoyed any of the recipes I tried.  Specifically, I am looking for a stir fry or a dish with asian flair.  I never enjoy any of the sauces.  I know one is out there.  If you have one you would love to share, I am all ears.

Sausage Tortellini Soup, homemade rolls or bread

Spaghetti, salad

Chicken Scampi, salad (this is a new version to try)

Pizza

Coconut Chicken, Dal Nirvana, Sweet potatoes

Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole

Tacos

I still have not made this Slow cooker Minestrone soup

Do you have any new recipes to share with us that have rocked your world?

Menu Plan for week of 12/18

Just like that, it is time for another menu again. I know I sound like a broken record, but I am so thankful for my somewhat new menu system. It allows me to pretend I am on top of life.  I can’t imagine creating my menu during this busy time of year.

We did not get all of our meals made last week.  Some of those meals, will roll into this week.  This week’s meals will roll into next week.  We will be with family a lot over Christmas, so that means less meals to make.

I know we will eat Pizza on “our” Christmas Eve.  I state “our” because we will celebrate Christmas the 24th this year.  My husband is a nurse and works on Christmas.  It has really not been a “big deal” for us, so don’t share a collective “sigh”. 

Other than the pizza, I have no idea what we will eat and when.  A grocery store trip is imperative since I avoided it last week.  We will see when that takes place.

Here is what is on the plan:

Sausage Tortellini Soup, homemade rolls or bread

Spaghetti, salad

Chicken Scampi, salad

Pizza

Coconut Chicken, Dal Nirvana, Sweet potatoes

Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole

Taco Casserole

If you are in auto pilot mode in this last week before Christmas, I recommend just snagging my menu. The meals are pretty simplistic. If you don’t like my selections, visit Menu Monday and snag someone else’s.

There. Now you have one less thing to do this week. What do you think? Are you going to menu plan for this busy week?
