And so the weight gain begins…..
Hi everyone! Today is the day I make the journey across Canada on two different airplanes with three kids to see my family!! Hubs unfortunately couldn’t get the time off so he is staying home. If you think I’m organized you should see my mom. I phoned her tonight to see what was on the menu for this week knowing that she would already have it done up. She didn’t disappoint and it looks like I’m going to be well fed! Oh and did I mention that my brother in-law is a chef? Yum!!!
Not only has my mom menu planned supper but lunch as well so I’m going to be sharing both with you today. Check out the theme nights!
Monday:
Supper ~ build your own pizzas on pita bread
Tuesday:
Lunch ~ pasta salad, rolls, cold meat
Supper ~ Greek night ~ pork sovlaki, taziki, hummus, lemon potatoes, greek salad and s*x in a pan for dessert
Wednesday:
Lunch ~ coleslaw and leftover pasta and greek salad
Supper ~ Southern Ontario night ~ pork chops, boiled potatoes, corn on the cob, fresh peas, marinated salad and jello with cool whip for dessert
Thursday:
Lunch ~ cold turkey breast, leftover salad, buns, veggies and dip
Supper ~ Picnic supper at the park ~ buns/cold meat, macaroni and potato salad, cheese ball and watermelon for dessert
Friday:
Lunch ~ green salad and BLT’s
Supper ~ Little Italy night ~ Spaghetti, ceaser salad, garlic bread and pineapple pudding for dessert
Oh it’s going to be nice to be spoiled!!
Have a great week everyone because I know I will :)

Last September I flew with my two by myself. It was interesting, for sure.
Sounds like your mom has a yummy week planned. Enjoy!

I can relate to the title-the weight gain. Every time we travel to visit famiy my hips and other areas feel it! :( I wish food on family visits was all fat free! lol

Have fun! We have VBS here this week, so hopefully the menu plan will help keep me on track.
Oh Yummy! You certainly will be spoiled! Enjoy it!!!
Enjoy your holiday! ;)
Looks like a yummy vacation for sure! Have a great time!
Have a great holiday! I am hoping to get to Ontario this summer to see family too and will also be travelling without hubby. Enjoy all the delicious fresh corn on the cob for me.
Have a great trip. Try not to over-indulge, but enjoy some for me, k?

Catherine

What a GREAT idea to have your holiday menu planned on your site too! We just got back from visiting my Mom who also had her whole menu planned out for the week. She even had snack options and breakfast ideas too written down…if only she was computer savy!!!!
I’m sorry I accidently shortened my username.
Ah, to be spoiled by Mom! Love it!
Your menu sounds delicious – what a blessing to have it done for you this week!
Hi Laura

I love souvlaki!
Have a great week Laura.
Looks like a fun week with family and good eating too! I’m determined to have BLT’s this week.
Pineapple pudding sounds good – can you hook us up with a sample? well maybe a recipe…enjoy your time!
I only just barely have an internet connection today and between that and my computer crashing constantly, I had troubles but I did manage to get my menu plan up this week!
Have a great trip and a wonderful time with your family! The menu plan sounds excellent!
I’m glad I’m back but I have had some trouble linking to just that one page….maybe you can help me. Your menu sounds great. I will talk too you soon. It’s good to be back gal.
I’m off to go grocery shopping.
Like mother, like daughter I guess!
Finally did my first Menu Plan Monday! Can’t wait to see if it helps with our crazy week!!!
LOL at the theme nights, but never heard of “Southern Ontario” night down here in Texas. ;-)
Have a safe trip. I am so jealous of your getting “home cooking”
I’m new here and I’ve used Mr. Linky – thanks for doing this!
mmmmmm!!! that menu sounds absolutely delectable!!! ‘yah gonna post recipes???
=) have a safe trip!
That all sounds SO delicious! I have a hard time imagining planning out lunches – much less such elaborate lunch meals!! Lucky lady, not having to be responsible to cook all week!! :) Oh the bliss!!
Wow…looks like your Mom is pretty organized as well! LOL. Love the themed nights. Your family will be eating well. Enjoy your vacation! :)
Laura, I hope you have a safe flight and enjoy yourself :)
Sounds like you’re heading to some yummy home cooked meals, enjoy!!
?Sandra?
Hi!! Sorry I messed up my first entry. :(
What’s better than posting your own menu? Posting the menu that someone will be cooking for you! Sounds really great.
Sounds absolutely divine! Enjoy yourself!
Just found you! Great idea’s here:)
Where else can a mom get cooked for, cleaned up after, and pampered, but her own Mother’s house! Enjoy every minute of it!!!
Sounds yummy! And the best part is not having to plan, cook it all and clean it all up.
I’m wondering, does s*x in a pan involve chocolate?
Have a great vacation! Sounds like you will be eating well!
Blessings!
Heather
Sounds yummy! Enjoy your time with family. :0)
This is my 1st time posting a Menu Planning Monday. I’m hoping that this will encourage me to experiment more with our meals because we all know that it’s easy to just keep making the same things cos it’s easy! Thanks for hosting this…looking forward to joining in each week :)
Enjoy your trip. Your moms menu looks super yummy! :)
Oh my goodness, girl! Can you ask your Mom if our whole family can come? Or even just me? Have a great time.
Yummy leftover meat in enchiladas for us tonight.
Sandy
