Menu Plan Monday

Menu Planning Monday

I’m still not feeling like doing a whole lot of cooking these days. I think it must be the summer doldrums, or else our lovely August heat. Still keeping it pretty simple. 🙂 I’m also going to try to work in a night to have leftovers. I’ve been throwing food out at the end of the week lately, because I’ve been cooking every night, and we usually have food left. If we don’t eat it for lunch the next day, it usually doesn’t get eaten. And I hate throwing food out, so I’m going to see about a “leftovers” night. As always, thanks to Laura, for hosting this every week!

Monday Chili Cheese-Black Bean enchiladas, pinto beans, guacamole and chips

Tuesday Crockpot Creamy Italian Chicken, fettucine, steamed mixed vegetables

Wednesday – Breakfast Burritoes with hash browns, oatmeal

Thursday – Sandwich night or leftovers

Friday – Date Night: Eat out or pizza

Saturday – family get together; haven’t decided what I’m taking yet

    Don’t think I’m gonna plan anything this week!

  2. Carrie Said,

    Looks good, Stacy. I hate throwing out food, as well. Such a waste. Have a good day!

  3. Melanie Said,

    I know I never feel like cooking when it’s hot out. Great menu for a hot week.

  4. annie Said,

    Looks good Stacy!

  5. mamichelle Said,

    Yum, Tuesday’s meal sounds delish! Not on my diet though. 🙁

  6. jen Said,

    I’m doing 2 sandwiches nights……I hate heating the stove up in the summer. You should do that as a question of the say…..how many people cook during the dog days of summer…..take a poll…have a good Monday!

  7. amy Said,

    Awesome..MIchael did our menu this week and although he doesnt participate in this meme, go check him out at http://www.valtool.blogspot.com

  8. And Miles To Go.... Said,

  9. Heidi Said,

    Good point about the leftovers!

  10. Sonya Said,

    The enchiladas sound wonderful! I’ll have to make those toward the end of the week! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the blogger award! You’re so sweet!

  11. Laura Said,

    I can’t wait until fall. Eating sucks in August. 🙂

  12. Kelly Said,

    Oooh…I will be over Tuesday night!

  13. JennaG Said,

    I haven’t felt much like being creative in the kitchen either. I say we just take it easy for a while–the joy of cooking is bound to come back sooner or later!!! 😉

  14. Eden Said,

    Hey! How are you? Great menu! I’m doing a giveaway over at my place.

  15. sherry Said,

    I made enchiladas for the first time the other night and they were really good! I was surprised! I can’t believe I’ve never made them before. I’ll have to try your recipe for them next time.

  16. Elizabeth Said,

    Mmmm. It all looks good.
    I’m sure I’ll eat good as well this week, but will probably eat unhealthy in Vegas. It’s vacation so that’s how I’m justifying it.

  17. Dianne Said,

    It’s hot here too. Easy sounds good. The crockpot chicken sounds good. I’m leaving Thurs. to go to Philly until Sat. eve. so I should probably toss something in the crockpot for Mike.

  18. SarahJane Said,

    Oh my!! Those enchiladas look good, as does the Italian chicken… I love crock pot meals and have been looking for some good ones to eat in the summer, since a lot of the ones I make are soups and stews. I just might have to try this next week! Yum…

  19. booklogged Said,

    Thanks for the 2 new recipes. Just printed them out. I love black beans, but don’t have many recipes using them. I make a similar crock-pot chicken using liquid Italian dressing and apricot or peach preserves with no soup. Your listing of breakfast burritoes made me want some. I think tomorrow morning I’ll fix those for my group. Ohhhh, with tomatoes right from my garden – they are sounding better all the time.
