Menu Plan Monday - July 16th

Hello my friends! Another week of summer is upon us. Time is just flying by isn’t it?

Last week turned out to be a really nice one for us weather wise so I was pretty happy that my menu didn’t require me to have to turn on the oven at all. Gotta love the crockpot and grill!

The Fresh Grilled Summer Pizza from last week was especially delicious and I definitely give it two thumbs up!

Unfortunately though it looks like the rain is coming back again…I guess one week of sunshine was better than none :(

My menu this week:

Monday: Fajitas
Tuesday: Baked Honey Mustard Chicken
Wednesday: Yankee Doodle Sirloin Roast
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Pasta Primavera with Italian Turkey Sausage (I love zucchini!)

Have a fantastic week everyone!!!

WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU THIS WEEK?

    Those of us in the South will happily take your rain. We’re having a drought, funny how it is so hard to hit that magical zone between too much and too little.

    As always, thank you for hosting.

    Have a great week Laure - everything looks so good. I tried a new recipe yesterday for potato and green bean salad - it was so easy and tasted great. The recipe is at my site.

    I will have to try your sirloin roast.

    Hi Laura! I haven’t participated in MPM in quite some time, though I’ve been consistent with my menu plans.

    The Yankee Doodle Sirloin Roast recipe caught my eye - I’ll have to try that on my guys. Anything with sirloin roast is bound to be a hit. *smile*

    Have a great week!

    Mmmm - your menu sounds wonderful. I had fajitas on my plan this week, but they got bumped when hubby made a dinner request.

    Yankee Doodle Sirloin Roast - that’s just fun to say! Hubby’s not a big roast fan, but I may have to give this one a try!

    I wish we could trade: I’ll take some of your rain, if you will take some of our sunshine! Sounds crazy, but the lake behind our house is about 7 ft low. It looks terrible…and so do my plants! :)

    BTW~I just got back in town and recieved your email. I’ll get back to you soon regarding your question!

    I’ve GOT to get going with my menus again! We have been grilling out, eating sandwiches and salads…so, I have not been cooking as much. And…my menu has been super boring! I am ready to start back again with my Monday menus! I have missed it! Maybe next week!

    Thanks, Laura for hosting this…it is so much fun!

    Thanks for the link to the honey chicken recipe. I’m going to try it in the crock pot, since it’s sweltering here. I tried to add myself to your list….don’t know if I did it right! Thanks for the inspiration!

    Darn, darn, darn! Monday sneaked up on me again, and I was just bound and determined to plan my menu in advance this week. (Some of us desperately need an Organizing Junkie in our lives, that’s all there is to it!)
    Well, definitely I *know* for sure I’ll get it together for next week… ;-)

    oops - despite your warning, I accidentally left my home page URL and not the URL to my Menu Monday post. ugh. I use blogger…if I put the URL for my Menu Plan Monday post - won’t it go to that week’s menu each week? I”m so sorry! I’m not sure how to remedy the situation.

    I have been wanting to try grilled pizza. Glad to hear it was tasty!

    Sorry I am VERY, VERY late this week. Too much girly-time sumer-time fun, I guess. But, really, can you have too much summer fun?

    Have a great week!
