Menu Plan Monday: July 13-19, 2009
July 13, 2009
After a month and a half of being insanely busy, we are finally being treated to a calm, relatively uneventful week. Please excuse me, I just need to revel in that for a moment…
Ahhhh, that feels soooo good!
This week I’m planning my meals with a focus on ingredients that I already have on hand. My freezer is packed and I need to use some of the stuff that’s in there. Here’s what I’m cooking:
Monday – We missed family movie night the last few Fridays so we will have a special Monday edition of Family Movie Night this week. Make your own pizzas will be the dinner and “Molly: An American Girl on the Home Front” will be the movie.
Tuesday – I’m going to thaw out some pork chops that I cooked and put in the freezer. Serving with au gratin potatoes and succotash.
Wednesday – Sophia has VBS this evening, so dinner will be simple — chicken sandwiches and crispy ranch fries (recipe from the latest Paula Deen magazine) along with fresh fruit.
Thursday – Sophia has requested chicken enchiladas. I still haven’t found a recipe that I love, so I’m trying another new one: this one. Serving with salad.
Friday – ham, pierogies, mixed vegetables
Saturday – fixing sour cream bacon chicken in the crockpot. Serving with rice and broccoli. Will probably halve the recipe as we don’t need 8 servings.
Sunday – leftovers or snacking.
I hope you enjoy the enchilada recipe. We sure like it, and it’s cheap and easy!
Sour cream bacon chicken sounds delicious. I can’t resist anything with bacon. May have to try it!
