In honor of my love for aprons, I give you my new banner above. I hope you like it but not to worry if you don’t because knowing me in a couple of months I’ll be changing it again!
I hope everyone enjoyed a fabulous weekend. I enjoyed very much getting away with my girlfriends for fellowship and fun. Beth Moore’s simulcast was absolutely amazing! Wow!!!
The new Taste of Home’s Simple & Delicious recipe magazine (April 2007) is out on stands now. I am so addicted to this magazine it’s not even funny.
I’m trying all new recipes this week and don’t be shocked but I have no crock pot recipes on the list (gasp)…just wanting to be wild and crazy and try something new.
Here is my menu for the week:
Monday: Hawaiian Chicken Bake (thanks to My So Called Perfect Life), served with Roasted Red Potatoes
Tuesday: Crab ‘n’ Penne Casserole (S&D April 2007 Pg 16)
Wednesday: Pizza Pancakes
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Mexican Pizza

I’m putting the pizza pancakes on my list for things to cook! I know that B will love that on breakfast night.
I am so glad you had such a good time with your girlfriends on your weekend away. It is always important for the mom to recharge. I know when I do I am a better person when I get home.
Your menu looks fabulous. I am definitely going to be looking into some of the recipes you have posted.
I love the new banner, very cool :) The Pizza pancakes look good, I’ll have to try them :)

Hi Laura, thanks for the new banner, it’s cute (I love aprons too). Your banner has a permanent home on my sidebar now!
Happy cooking,
Kelleigh
I’m so glad you enjoyed your weekend! A wonderful,loving friend told me that people notice when they lose a limb, but they don’t when they lose their soul. So wise of you to take care of your soul, while having a day out.
Thank you for the new banner. Feminin and inspiring.
I am a big fan of aprons. I try to buy at least one every spring. Let’s say it’s my own spring ritual.
Your menu is deliciously exotic! Enjoy!
And ave a lovely week.
Oh my word - my friend would love that banner. She is the only one I knew (before you) who loves aprons like that. A pity she doesn’t blog but I must phone her and tell her LOL
I have been CRAVING for pancakes so I am definitely making that next week (or maybe I’ll break the rules and do it on Friday). Hmm - will have to think about it.
pizza pancakes….VERY interesting! great list, I want to have crab this week too
I like the new banner, and I ams SHOCKED that you have no crock recipes! I guess it happens to the best of us!
Thanks for hosting!
LOVE the new logo! And the menu looks great too :)
Love the banner. Love the menu! I can not believe you have no crock pot recipes!
I am assuming the Hawaiian chicken has pineapple - I love chicken and pineapple - ymmmm. The menu looks wonderful!
The new graphic looks great too!
I agree, the Beth Moore simulcast was amazing - glad you got to enjoy it with your girlfriends!
The pizza pancakes look like a fun change of pace! Great menu!
I wanted to go to the simulcast but I had a sick husband and sick little boy. Drats!
I’m making Hawaiian chicken on Thursday!
Have a great week, Laura!
Wow, I agree with everyone else - the pizza pancakes sound great! I’ll definitely be trying those.
I’m a newbie and thought I’d put my recipe box in the mix this week. *waves*
I was at a Beth Moore simulcast this weekend, too. Wasn’t it amazing? I’m also a fellow TOH magazine addict. SO much cooking… so little time! Have a super week, and thanks for hosting us. :)
I love Beth Moore, her studies are so enlightening.
Have a great Monday!
blessings,
Annie
Fun new banner!
I heard the simulcast was awesome, glad you enjoyed it.
Like the banner! Have a great week!
Cute new banner! I’m gonna have to buy an apron one of these days! LOL I’m trying your crockpot chicken recipe from last week, Laura. Thanks!
Hi, I am new to this menu plan monday. ALthoug I am not new to menu planning =). But I am not sure I did everything right. I downloaded the picture to my computer and then onto Photobucket. Is that what I was supposed to do? Or was I supposed to link to this picture? And should I provide in my post a link to this site (or through the logo?) Thank for correcting me if I did it wrong.
Going to be a tough week this week. I almost listed as Fibro Flare Leni! Lots of pain, which means not a lot of kitchen time for me. When I get this bad, my hands don’t work well, and dh prefers I stay away from flames and blades. ;o)
I love the new banner!
The Pizza pancakes sound good. Let us know how they turn out. I am going to try them with my family. thanks for linking the recipe.

I really like the new banner - I love aprons (but I don’t wear them much - go figure!) Have a great week.
Love your new banner. I’m taking now. :v)
Look at the list. Sheesh I’m #62. I love this. I can get tons of ideas for upcoming weeks.
I love the new banner! I am a big apron fan and nearly always wear one when I cook. Have made many aprons for my girls and grandkids.
My menu is up… I planned a menu last week, of course, but had no time to post it.
I love the new banner! I am amazed at how quickly everyone gets their MPM up, I had mine put together last night and got up this morning to do it, and a lot of people are already here! Thats awesome though!
I like the new banner!!! (I used the old one cause I prepped it last night).
Your menu looks great this week!
Your menu sounds great! That Hawaiian Chicken bake sounds really yummy! I also love the new banner - it even matches my site! Thanks for hosting MPM - I always look forward to it, love it, and it holds me accountable for making my plan every week!!
Darn! My 1st time here and I already made a mistake! Used a wrong link for Mr. Linky…this time, it’s the right one! sorry about that…
I love Monday Menu Planning. It makes my husband happy to know I’m actually cooking something which in return makes me happy!
Forgot to tell you I like the new banner :)
Annie
Love the new banner! Looks great!
Hawaiian chicken sounds great…cant wait to see this one. Also wanted to thank you on the moving tip…I enjoyed this one since its coming pretty fast with me. I’m getting very nervous….a new chapter in my book of life.
Thanks for hosting! The pizza pancake recipe is so fun!
Like I have said on other blogs. I cant seem to get a list together of the weeks dinners. I change my mind all the time on what I feel like. Great Blog
Everything sounds wonderful. You’ll have to let us know how the new recipes turn out.
Share my menu? Menu?!? Menu??? That would, like, take planning or some organizational skills. Come on…you gotta be kidding! I like your blog & Taste of Home mags, but menu planning has NEVER been a strong quality! LOL! Come to think of it, why should I plan when I can just piggyback off yours?! :)
Better late than never..I say!! You always keep me organized by doing this. Thanks.
Yes! Beth Moore’s simulcast was wonderful! God is awesome!
I’m going to participate in your Menu Mondays. I recently subscribed to Simple and Delicious, but I haven’t received any yet. Can’t wait!
~Susan
Sorry I’m late! Your menu sounds yummy and fun. I am going to have to see what I can tweek to make GFCF for my family. I bet my kiddies would be all over pizza pancakes. It should be a fun experiment!
You got me with the Taste of Home magazine. I clicked & subscribed right away. Can’t wait till it arrives.
Laura I LOVE the new MPM banner! It like totally matches my blog!
Bless you for this web site. I am in heaven.
Laura,
Look at I organized my meals.
Hugs,
Elziabeth
Everything sounds so yummy!! I would love to join in the weekly recipe planner! I always have a hard time finding new recipes that ALL of my kids will eat :) So then do I just post the recipes on my blog every Monday? sorry for the silly question!
This is the best thing since sliced bread! Oh my gosh…I love it!!! Planning a menu is the hardest thing in the WORLD for me. I just have issues with it. Thank you SO much!
