Menu Plan Monday - April 23rd

Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to another Menu Plan Monday ladies! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is ready for a brand new week. My daughter came 2nd in a piano festival today, so that was pretty exciting for us. She has another one scheduled for Wednesday. As always, I was way more nervous than she was :)
Again I’m trying some new recipes this week. For someone who isn’t a very good cook, I do love trying new recipes. I love change what can I say! Last week we had two winners with the 40 Clove Garlic Chicken and the Zucchini Sausage Pasta. I’ll definitely make these again.
Here’s whats on our menu for this week:
Monday: Steak fajitas (new for us since usually we use ground beef)
Thursday: Leftover Buffet
Friday: Grilled Veggie Sandwich ~ thanks to Overwhelmed with Joy for this one
WHAT ARE YOU EATING FOR DINNER THIS WEEK?

Here is how you link to an individual post if you’ve never done it before: right click on the time at the bottom of the post you want to link to, click “copy shortcut” and then paste it into Mr. Linky. Welcome to all new participants. Please let us know you are new to MPM (so we can be sure to visit and welcome you) by putting “I’m new” or “First one” in brackets after your name in Mr. Linky.

    Congrats to your daughter! I hope the Wednesday festival goes well, too. It is funny how we as parents get more nervous for our kids than we do!

    Have a great week!

    I’m HUGE into roasted veggies since I’ve been doing Weight Watchers. I love the flavors and usually will substitute meat by adding more veggies.

    A new trick I learned is to roast the veggies ON the bread and then the juices seep into the bread. So yummy! Thanks for sharing with us.

    Hi Laura

    Congrats to your daughter. Just last night, I was reading a magazine and the article was about what parents go through when their kids have to perform onstage. I must remember to scan it in and email to you! Just PRAY for Wed!

    Mine is up - short one because we’re off to celebrate our anniversary!

    I’m waiting for whole chickens to go on sale so I can try the 40-clove-garlic one!
    Thanks for the hint on getting the link in there. I didn’t know how to do that shortcut :) My way was more cumbersome.

    Congratulations for your daughter’s recital!! It is so hard to just let them get up and do things. And then they do good and it is wonderful.

    Glad the Garlic Chicken recipe turned well. That is going to be done at my house.

    Blessings.

    Your Tuesday dinner sounds amazing, and I think I’ll try it this week. Unfortunately, I’m not organized enough to make a menu for the week, so I’m not linking to mine. ;) Oh well, we still eat healthy food, even if it isn’t planned in advance!
