Hello everyone!!
I’m pretty sure we set a record last week with over 160 participants…WOW!!!! That’s a lot of menu planning going on….just fantastic! I hope you are finding that it is making a difference in your week.
Some housekeeping ~ please try to keep “your name” in Mr. Linky to three or four words. We’ve been having a problem with the rows pushing out. Thanks!
Previous week recipe highlight ~ all the recipes from my menu last week were enjoyed but if I had to pick my most favorite from the week it would be the Baked Honey Mustard Chicken.
This week my menu is all about salads. I just love summer salads…..somehow veggies just taste better when smothered in dressing :)
Monday: BBQ Hamburgers and Apple Spinach Salad
Tuesday: Tropical Chicken Packets served with rice
Wednesday: Club Quesadillas served with Fruit Slaw in a Cabbage Bowl
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Quick and Easy Steak Salad
Have a super week everyone!!! Don’t forget to come back here to see what I’ll be giving away for the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway!!

I HEART good salads. I will have to check out your links. I just posted an awesome salad on my menu as well – California Spanish Salad.
Looks like a week filled with yummy salads!! YUM.
First of all, YEY for so many participants! That’s great! I really benefit from everyone’s great ideas. I have always had a menu plan, but sharing them in this way has really expanded my culinary horizons. :) Your menu looks so yummy- I’ve bookmarked the chicken packets, and my kids would love those club quesadillas, too. Thanks! Have a super week!
Oops! Sorry, I didn’t read your request closely about keeping the word-number down until after I posted! It won’t happen again!
Ooh I might have to try your quesadillas this week instead of my usual ones, if I get that far with my plans!
I, too, love seeing all the menus.
Sounds like a yummy week!!
Thanks for hostng MPM.. it has been a great help.

That’s something I really have to do: plan my meals.
Join us Lu, you can do it. It’s fun!!!
I’ve been menu planning for years now but trying to stick to it better. I am loving the recipes from you and other participants-helps keep a little variety in my menu planning!!
I’m printing out the Honey Mustard Chicken recipe as we “speak”!!!
This meme has made cooking and planning a little bit more fun than it used to be! So many great recipes and ideas–helps keep things fresh and my attitude motivated to stick to it!
A couple of your recipes need to make it into my meal plan real soon–what a great looking week you have.

Have a great week everyone!
Laura, it looks like another yummy week at your house! Have a great week.
Mmmm…that apple spinach salad sounds soooo good! Too bad no one else in the house would eat it. Of course, that would just leave more for me, huh?
Those salads sound great…I may have to snag one of your recipes for a meal this week!
YUM, I love salads. Wish hubby felt the same…I could totally eat them everyday!! have a yummy week!!
Thanks Laura! I’ve hardly had to browse a cookbook since starting Menu Plan Monday. I let the participants do all the work for me! ;-)
I agree, salads are perfect summer meals! Great menu!!!
Laura,
Your menu looks so good! I want to come over for dinner. ;) I love all the salads.
And that chicken tropical packet looks so yummy. Thanks for the recipe link.
Thanks for hosting this each week! I noticed the huge # of participants last week, too. Go you! **** :-) *******
Have a great Monday.
Menus are lookin’ good!
My first week menu-planning was a huge success last week! I look forward to another week of fun new meals.
Great menu! I wouldn´t mind making some quesadillas, I love that! I´m glad to be able to participate!
My menu is up…no weight watchers points this week. Maybe next week.
I love the thought of summer salads. You just might see some of those same salads pop up on one of my upcoming menus!!
Have a great week :)
Those tropical chicken packets sound awesome. And we love salads of all kinds and eat lots of them, especially in summer.
Thanks for hosting this, Laura. What fun to have so many participants!
I’m so glad you host this, it is my 2nd week and it causes me to be so much better at organizing my week. It is just the accountability that I need.
Thanks for the push in the right direction! I did the Honey Mustard chicken in the Crock pot and it worked beautifully!
I’d eat eat only salads all summer if my husband would let me!
mmm it’s all looking good again this week. Summer salads are awesome. I’m doing gazpacho this week because what better way to use all the fresh cucumbers and tomatoes? The baked honey mustard chicken is on my menu for tonight. It looked way too good to pass up. I am going to use a whole chicken though instead of the chicken breasts, so I’ll have to adjust the seasonings to be enough… shouldn’t be too hard. :) Thanks for hosting! I’ve done menu planning for three weeks in a row now. organized me!
can’t wait to try your tropical chicken pouches! yum!
I’ve just discovered you, and think this is great, because we’ve been menu planning for almost a year, and will now start putting it up on our blog!
This is my first time participating so I hope I did everything right. Looking forward to reading everyone’s menus! Thanks so much!
This worked so well for me last week that I’m going to make it a weekly thing. My husband works for Schwans and we have a freezer full of food that gets buried by new stuff and we never eat it. This is going to help me eat what we have before getting more!
Back again!
Took a couple weeks off, but I still managed pretty good! With company & a crashed computer over with, I am finally getting back on track.
Blessings!
Heather
I just published my first Menu Plan Monday. I will start making the rounds to read others menus. Thanks for hosting this.
Been awhile since I’ve tagged along but mine is posted. Thx for hosting ~ I look forward to gleaning more ideas. ;D
I am so excited when Monday comes around to see what’s Cooking this week. My menu this week is pretty basic. Have a great week everyone.
Yummy!!
I’m up…late again!! The week’s almost over!
God bless, Penny
Hello! I’m new (forgot to write that by my name when I signed up). I look forward to getting new dinner ideas and planning better. :) I accidentally signed up for the wrong week too, but tomorrow I’ll enter on the correct week.
Congratulations on having a record participants!
