Menu Plan Monday

I am so glad that I had a menu plan last week! We had a lots of stress and work to do with buying a new car. Ordinarily I would be justifying take out, but since I had a menu plan, I was able to easily get to work and cook from home instead. Sometimes it was simple, sometimes it took some time - but I did it! We did eat out once, but it is a big improvement over last week! Here is this week's menu.

Dinner
1. Cous Cous with Scallions (I'm going to add carrots and adzuki beans) and Apple Dumplings - yum!
2. Easy Creamy Mexican Skillet
3. Crockpot Ginger Chicken with Peanut Butter and Creme Brownie Torte or Teriyaki Chicken

5. Steak seasoned chicken, Baby Baked Potatoes, and Green Beans

Menu Plan Monday

Menu Plan Monday
Last week didn't go so well on following through. It just got too crazy! One recipe was a success, though. I loved Trainer Momma's Whole Wheat Waffles (link below). I made a batch and froze them for myself and the kiddos. They devoured them. So yummy! Especially with the peanut butter and blackberries.

My Tomato Swiss Chard Quiche looked better than it actually was. It was nice to experiment with Swiss Chard, but I wasn't in love with the taste.

Breakfast:
Whole Wheat Waffles (from the freezer) with Peanut Butter and Blackberries
Oatmeal and Apples
Egg Sandwiches and Fruit
Egg wraps with ham and cheese

Lunches
Sandwiches
Salads
Chicken Quesadillas
Leftovers
White sauce on toast
Sunshine Slaw

Dinners:
1. Cream of Celery Soup with rolls and a Fruit Salad
2. Cajun Rice
3. Ham and Black Bean Wraps with Strawberry Jello, Whip Cream, and Strawberries
4. Soy sauce chicken with rice and vegetables
5. Cheesy Ham and Pasta Bake
6. Cheddar Chicken and Pasta Bake
7. Mother's Day Dinner planned by the men :)
