Menu Plan Monday – April 30th

***The 30 Day Org Challenge “final post” instructions will be posted shortly so be sure to check back later for that.****
Welcome to another edition of MPM! The last day of April! By the end of the month my calendar is so full and messy that I can’t wait to turn the page to the new month….so exciting and fresh to see a clean page all ready to go.

Before I go any further I have to do a Recipe Public Service Announcement of the utmost importance. The Cheesy Beef and Veggie Pasta recipe that I had on my menu last week was so disgusting. I repeat….disgusting! I am so NOT recommending this recipe. However, I do realize I’m not the greatest cook and that it could very well have been my cooking so if you want to try it use extreme caution and don’t say I didn’t warn you….lol! On the other hand, the Foiled Pack Taco Chicken Dinner was delicious. I will definitely be making this one again.

So here is what is coming up on my menu this week:

Monday: Better-Than-Ever Beef Enchiladas
Tuesday: Oven-Fried Chicken, Candied Carrots and potato patties
Wednesday: Slow-Cooked Pork Roast served with roasted red potatoes and broccoli
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Pizza Pasta Toss

WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU THIS WEEK?

*Important – Please link to your individual MPM post instead of your home page. 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

    Thanks for the public service announcement. I will make sure to avoid that dish. However, I might have to look into the slow-cooked pork roast. Yum!

    I added the foil-pack recipe to my favourites.

    I’m concentrating on the childrens meals again. (I’ve lost a stone and I’m watching my weight)Hubby has his usual spicy meals which the children steer clear of so I’m trying to make their dinners a little more adventurous this week.

    We tried the 40 Clove Garlic Chicken this weekend. I found that I would need to cut the cooking time, on my crockpot.
    Also, it’s going to make terrific Chicken Tacos. The meat just fell of the bone!
    We’re weren’t that impressed with it but now I found a great starter for Tacos.

    I love the honest review of that recipe. I try to adhere to a policy of not sharing a recipe on our site unless it has been tested. (There have been a few exceptions for Vegan recipes, but they have a disclaimer) Personal taste is one thing, but bad recipes are no fun for anyone. It’s usually fairly easy to tell which is coming into play.

    Thanks for doing this.

    Well, I’ve done a few disgustings in my day. Win some, lose some. That pizza toss sounded good, but I couldn’t get the page to come up.

    Have a great week.

    Hi Laura!

    I’ll make a note not to try that cheesy beef recipe!

    My menu is up. Rainy and chilly here, hard to get past planning comfort food.

    It’s pretty cool of you to announce that the cheesy beef recipe was awful.

    Ahem. Excuse me. I do not see kahlua cake on your menu plans for this week. LOL

    angela says:

    Oh, man…I hate it when I am all excited to try out something new and – YUCK! I am so sorry that happened to you guys! I do a pizza chicken that is kind of like the taco chicken packets that my kids like when we go camping. We will have to try it taco-style.

    How have the GFCF pizza pancakes worked for your son? I hope they worked out for you!
