Menu Plan Monday

Menu Planning Monday

Well, fall is here, but it’s still pretty warm. We’re expecting 80’s most every day this week, but I’m going to start putting some fall type comfort foods on my menu anyway. Maybe if I cook like it’s cooler, the temperature will actually turn cooler, hehehe 🙂 Last week went pretty much according to plan. I made everything on my menu but the spaghetti, but that’s always a “fall back” type of meal for me – I always have everything on hand, so I can make that anytime. This week – well, this week is another story. We have a PGA golf tournament here, two football games on TV (the Saints on Monday Night Football and our college team on Thurs PM), plus a German festival this coming weekend that we almost always go to and get brats. So — very little of this might actually get cooked! Sigh. A girl can plan though 😀

Thanks to Laura at OrgJunkie for organizing and hosting this each week! Go check out her blog and you’ll find tons more recipes and menu plans.

Monday Golden Potato Soup, Buttermilk Wheat Bread

Tuesday – baked chicken, garlic smashed potatoes, green beans

Wednesday – Light Night before Tim weighs in – eggs, oatmeal, toast

Thursday – Football Food – Pepperoni Bread, bean dip and chips

Friday – Date Night or Beef Stew

Saturday – Date Night or Spaghetti, bread, broccoli (stand by meal)

Sunday – German Festival or Frito Pie

  7. Bev Said,

    Potato soup has got to be one of the best comfort foods ever. Your recipe has made my mouth water. I’m going to try it and just to add to the ‘gold’ idea use some Yukon Gold potatoes. 😉

    Sounds like a busy week for you and Tim. Have a great one!

    Cheers,
    Bev

  12. Nicole Said,

  13. Desert Songbird Said,

    You’re killing me with the homemade bread, you know?

    Would you believe that in 16 years of marriage, I have only used menu planning for a brief period of time long ago, before kids? Nowadays, we “wing it.” Not really a good idea.

  14. Gail Said,

    Potato soup is one of my favorites! I like that part about cooking like it’s cool and maybe it will be cool, I should try that. 🙂

    And I almost laughed out loud at your Sunday, German food at the festival or….Frito pie! They’re so different, as night and day! If Fred comes, you’ll go to the German festival. 🙂

  15. Susanne Said,

    Football food sounds good to me!

  16. Mandalyn Said,

    How do you make pepperoni bread? I think we would love that!

    We love frito pie!!:)

  17. theresa Said,

    Yep, once again your house is the place to be watching a football game- pepperoni bread sounds delish!
    I love garlic smashed potatoes, my husband lately however has liked the red skin potatoes smashed and leaving the skins .
    and I love that you always do a date night:)

  18. Shawna Said,

    I just emailed myself a copy of the Golden Potato Soup. Mmm!

  19. Claire Said,

    I can’t believe you didn’t do football food tonight for the Saints game! What’s going on on Thursday night?
