Welcome to another Menu Plan Monday! What a wonderful way to start the week with a well planned menu knowing I won’t have to stress about what I’m going to make for dinner for the whole week! Whew….for a person that doesn’t like to cook (sorry Sandra!) this sure takes the pressure off me. My meal selections can usually all be prepared in 15 minutes or less and thats the way I like it…lol.
I have to tell you a funny story about my daughter. The other day my mom asked my daughter what we were having for supper and my daughter said “well Granny I don’t think we are having supper today because I don’t see the crockpot out.” Isn’t that funny! Yep I’m a lover of the crockpot that is for sure! LOL
Now onto my menu for this week:
Monday: Slow cooked Corny Chili – yes on the menu again because I didn’t get to make it the other week
Tuesday: Slow cooked Sunday Pot Roast even though it isn’t Sunday
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Stuffed shells – a meatless meal
Friday: Slow cooked Sweet pepper chicken served over rice
I also want to try making Barb’s pumpkin cookies this week sometime!
Check back for an exciting announcement regarding the 30 Day Organizational Challenge….you won’t want to miss it!!!
Happy Birthday to my sis!!
What’s on your menu this week? Please share it with us!

Hi! I’ve missed your happy page! I’m at a hotel now, so my menu is already planned for me this week. YEAH! Oh… I do have some decisions. WHERE TO GO FOR DINNER! ;)
Before I left, I made sure to “finish” my office. There’s still so much more work to do, but I left it in a manageable way, so my hubby could cope in my absence.
IT FEELS SO GOOD to free myself from some of the chaos! I’ll keep plugging away. More each day.
With a cleaner, more ordered office, more time to plan menus. I agree with you, that’s the way to go.
I love what your daughter said about the crockpot! Too funny! I really need to start putting mine to better use!
I recently discovered your blog and love it! I am so disorganized and hate it. I’ve been drooling over your organization, I love all the boxes, folders, drawers, etc, I’ve always been in love with office supply stores with the neat organizing stuff lol. I need to find an organizing method that works for me.
Now, I want to check out the corny chili but I can’t get the link to work? Quick, easy meals are my friend, I hate to cook lol, so it’s great to see how many slow cooker recipes you use.
Chaotic mom – enjoy your time away and eating out you lucky girl…I’m so happy your office is coming along!
Tiany – I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to get supper on the table most days without using the crockpot!
Kara – thank you for your nice words. I’m not sure why the link to the Corny Chili isn’t working for you. I just tried it and it seems to be okay. Email me if you can’t get it and I’ll send it to you. The recipe is really good!
Thanks, it works now, don’t know what was up earlier :) Looks delicious, I might try it this week.
Someday, I really will use my crock pot.
Next week, maybe. :D
I just posted a link to you over at GNMParents!
I love your site!

Now that my hours are cutting back at work I am doing more and more homecooked meals. The other day I used the crock pot and my daughter was amazed that we were putting in our dinner first thing in the morning. She couldn’t believe that it would have to cook all day.
She still talks about that meal in amazement. Maybe it’s time to break out the crock pot again and make it more of a routine!? :-)
Hi Laurs,
thansk fro doing this. I am just starting to use my crock pot. It is getting a good work out.
Hugs,
Mrs. Q
Sweet pepper chicken sounds totally yummy!
Thanks for hosting, as always!
I keep saying I am goign to make the corny chili too and it always gets overlooked — why IS that?
Next week, for sure!

Ah how I love Stuffed Shells. I’m gonna have to make some gluten-free lasagne soon.
I need to embrace my crockpot! I don’t use it very often even though I know it would make life easier. I have made using my crockpot more one of my 101 goals to complete in 1001 days. So, I have at least written the goal down! lol!! Thanks for hosting and sharing your recipes!
Totally yummy week coming up~this is so fun!
Laura, I think I need to come see you and make you “Like” cooking LOL
Your daughter is hilarious, that is just too funny LOL
And again, you have wonderful meals, you always make me so hungry when I come see you….good grief!!!
I have to go get my menus posted and I also need to get myself in gear with your Organizational Challenge, I just haven’t had a moment to do anything around here…hopefully this week :)
Hugs,
Sandra
Thanks for the birthday wish!!!
Love ya TA
I’ll get mine up later…I have been gone since Friday so I’m catching up before I post…..great menu…although I’m not cooking alot this week…its Scott’s birthday tomorrow.
What a great funny on your daughter! Hope you have a great week and thanks for working on getting us all organized.
Hi Laura,
Well I finally posted my before pics for the org. challenge. And I did the laundry (most of it-not the had wash delicates-yet.) As for dinners….making a turkey tonight in my Pampered Chef clay baker and it will be easy, wonderful, and left over all week!
I have just done my first public Menu Plan Monday! I always do my grocery list and shop on Mondays, but I’ve never posted before . . .
My crock pot is filling my kitchen with a delicious aroma as I’m browsing these great menu ideas.
Have a blessed week!
Laura
I love what your daughter said.
I have tried your corny chili before when you had it posted and it is good.
Your menu looks good for this week.
Thank you for hosting this. I love it.

I’m doing stuffed shells this week too! They’re so much easier than people think!
Thanks for the Crockpot Honey mustard ham recipe last week. I am having it again this week. THe kids loved it!! Jennifer
I love the variety here. Such yummy ideas :)
i guess i am late! How does everyone post so early???
Just posted my first “Menu Plan Monday”!
That’s so cute about your daughter…it’s so funny how kid’s minds work!!
Hi Laura,
I know how you feel about your crock pot! Me too! It is one of the best inventions.
My menu is ready to go. We are trying some low-carb this week – which is very different for us.
Hope you have a great week.
Enjoy your pumpkin cookies!
Stacy
it all looks so yummy Laura.Have a great day.
My menus are up. Yours looks good, Laura… Thanks so much for hosting this. It keeps menu planning on my radar screen early in the week.
Thanks so much for the motivation!
I love your site! You are so organized! Thank you so much for having the Monday Menu Planning – I recently started using my crockpot and all these recipes will be great. I just posted my first-time ever Monday Menu Plan.
All your recipes look yummy. I want to try the stuffed shells.
Thank you for the extra motivation. I chose my bookshelf last week and have steadily been working on it. I’m planning to post the pics at the same time on December 3-5th. I haven’t decided which date yet, but this way I have a goal in mind!!! Have a great day and thank you for all the links and great tips. Thank you to lifeorganizers.com
Can I tell you that we made the ground beef/hash brown bake thing that your daughter loves and no one in my family will eat it?? I made a HUGE batch, and so now I’m eating away. . . . I’m not blaming you, I’m just telling you why I’m having velveety hamburger potato broccoli mush for lunch all week.
I am going to try that Thai chicken thing, tomorrow I think.
I really love just trying your recipes.
Mine’s up now!
Wow, am I late this week – but at least my menu got done, right?
And thanks for all the crockpot recipes! Great ideas, can’t wait to try!
Thanks again for hosting! :-
I really love stuffed shells. Yummy.
