Menu Plan Monday

Menu Planning Monday

It’s that time of the week again! Thanks to Laura over at OrgJunkie for hosting this every week. You can check out her site for a list of everyone playing and their menus 🙂

First off, an update on a couple of new-to-me recipes from last week. Thursday night, I made the Creamy Salmon Chowder that my sister Gail has made and liked. We liked it too, but I don’t think I’ll make it all that often. Tim is not that fond of fish and he likes his food, soups included, to have meat in them. I wasn’t able to convince him that salmon is meat. It’s fish, he says, fish. 😀

The chicken-olive calzones were a really big hit, though! I was supposed to make them on Friday, but we went out on a date and pigged out on ribs, so we had the calzones on Saturday night. They were really good. I’ve just entered the recipe here on our family website. I’ll definitely make these again, Tim loved them!

Now, on to this week’s menu:

Monday – A meal for my sweetie – Ham, black-eyed peas, turnip greens and cornbread (I’ll eat ham, cornbread and probably make myself a fruit salad).

Tuesday Easy Texas chili, leftover cornbread

Wednesday – Light night before Tim weighs in – Grilled Chicken Salad

Thursday – new recipe for Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti (saw it a few weeks ago over on Annie‘s blog, looks yummy!), homemade sourdough bread

Friday – Date Night, yeah!

Saturday – TBD

Sunday – Frito Pie

    Sounds like another yummy week! Things got so crazy hectic around here, that I didn’t get my menu done this week…which of course means I’m going to be sorry every night come 4:00 or so.

  6. Heidi Said,

    I agree, the calzones sound great.

  7. Becky Said,

    Sounds yummy as always! I, too, will have to check out those calzones. And, yeah for date night. We are in need of one of those! Have a great week!

  8. Sherry Said,

    Have a great week 🙂

    Looks like Frito Pie is a popular recipe pick this week. My hubby introduced it to me when we got married. Being from back east I wasn’t familiar with it.
    You have some yummy recipes selected for your menu plan. I’ll have to take a look at those Chicken and Olive Calzones. It might be something that I can adapt to our diet.

  10. jenny Said,

    i wish i have a date night…i do but once in a blue moon =(

    thanks for sharing!

  11. Judi Said,

    I am going to try those calzones! We are all about calzones around here. Everything looks good on your menu!

  12. annie Said,

    I hope you enjoy the garlic chicken in the crockpot, it is really a staple around here!
    My chicken spaghetti (with velveeta) turned out really good last night!
    I love that we are able to get recipes from everyone and post links, makes life so easy!!!
    Thanks for stopping by my blog, have a happy Tuesday!
    blessings~

  13. Jen Said,

    I love chicken salad, but rarely make it. I would really love to do more soup/sandwich type meals for a change of pace.

    Your menu looks great–as usual! Have a terrific week!

  14. Shawna Said,

    I’ve made chicken spaghetti before but not in the crockpot. Sounds good!
