Menu Plan Monday – May 14th
I hope everyone had a beautiful Mother’s Day today! I know I did and enjoyed getting spoiled!
We had such a good time today that I’m late getting this post up and I do apologize to all of you who wait up.
Previous week recipe notes:
Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole - didn’t go over well in this house
Makeover Ham ‘n’ Potato Bake - was pretty good but a little too much work for my liking :)
Here is my menu for this week:
Monday: Fajitas
Tuesday: Slow cooked 40 Clove Garlic Chicken served with mashed potatoes and carrots
Wednesday: Slow cooked Sweet ‘n’ Sour Pork Chops (from the new S&D June 07, if it’s good I’ll share the recipe on Thursday) served with rice and broccoli
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Black Bean Pizza
WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU THIS WEEK?

I think this 40 Clove Garlic Chicken is speaking my name.
Loved the Garlic Chicken!!! Sounds like a yummy week!!!
still a little scared of the 40 clove garlic chicken but i am working my way up to it! the black bean pizza sounds so yummy i just might replace my boboli pizza night with it! have a fantastic week :O)
Happy Mother’s Day to you! That Black Bean Pizza really does sound good! I don’t think anyone in my family will eat it, but I may have to make it just for myself!!
I think I need to try that 40 clove chicken!! Great menu this week.
I have my first two cans of black beans ever in the pantry. My son bought them for me in the city.

Sounds yummy!
Hmm looks good! I am going to have to check out black bean pizza. Hubby calls me the bean queen!
I still haven’t done that garlic chicken. Must remember to look at other people’s lists BEFORE I do the shopping.
Glad you had a Happy Mother’s Day.
Can’t wait for my S&D to get here so I can scout out some new recipes….and as always, thanks for hosting! This is such fun.
looks like another Great Week!!
I’ve been wanting to try the 40 clove chicken — I didn’t look at the link. Is it Ina’s? I will have to do that soon … This week is rough for my menu, but there is at least one yummy to look forward to.
I am going to try the Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole this week — but I think I will leave out the veggies.
I have yet to try the 40 clove garlic chicken, I have heard it is yummy. The rest of your week sounds great!
Have a great Monday!
I hope you had a beautiful Mother’s Day!!!

If I participated in Menu Plan Monday, here would be mine for this week:
Monday – no dinner – it’s Bunko night. Snacks and goodies at Elizabeth’s.
Tuesday – dinner out with Vickie and her kids
Wednesday – leftover chicken from Red Lobster. Make some instant mashed potatoes and open and heat small can of carrots.
Thursday – Nuke Lean Cuisine frozen dinner
Friday – Nuke frozen Stouffer’s Veggie Lasagna
LOL I think the last time I actually cooked was last month – I made a meal for a family in our church who had a death and I made enough for me to have throughout the week. Oh, I did make a grilled cheese sandwich w/ tomato soup for dinner on Saturday!
I still enjoy reading your Menu posts even though I don’t cook!

Great sounding recipe!
I’ve posted after a week hiatus. This week I’ve provided five recipes, so enjoy!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Mmmm….garlic!! Yum!
Have a great week, Happy Mother’s Day to all! :-)
We are going to try the 40 clove chicken when Stephen gets home. He thought it sounded really great!
Happy Late Mother’s Day!
Mmmmm…black bean pizza sounds wonderful! Enjoy!!! :)
Hope you had a wonderful mothers day! That black bean pizza looks delish! The link for Ians foods is http://iansnaturalfoods.com/
They have a place to find retailers and there are some in Canada, but I’m not sure exactly where you are. Just thought I’d pass it along incase.
Didn’t Alton Brown do a special on garlic and use 40 clove chicken as one of the recipes? I don’t have cable so it would have had to have been a while ago. (How is that for clumsy grammar?)
This is my first time visiting and participating! But I love the idea, and plan on using this as a valuable tool! Thanks so much!
Yummy! Your menu looks delicious! We’re trying the pizza pancakes this week and looking forward to it!
I desperately want to try the 40 clove chicken, but my crockpot is on the smallish size and there are only 2 of us… do you (or anyone) have any ideas about how I would go about shrinking the amount I would make? (if so, you can leave a comment on my blog with your ideas – http://www.hislittlewife.blogspot.com – muchas gracias!)
A very lazy week for me here. My eldest daughter is in a production of Oliver every night. Just to get *her* fed will be a task!
Food glorious food!
black bean pizza wow!!! thanks!
thank you for your comment on my page! :) I know I should’ve commented before, but I didn’t really know if I was doing the whole thing right… hahahhahaha I know it’s probably been said before but thank you for putting this all together.
Have a great day!
