Menu Plan Monday ~ May 5th

by Laura on May 4, 2008

in Menu Plan Monday

Hello everyone! I have a surprise for you today. I realize it’s been awhile since I’ve introduced a new Menu Plan Monday banner so I thought I’d better make it up to you and went ahead and made 4! I got on a roll what can I say. I love change and get bored easily so why not a new banner for a great little pick me up :) I also know that many hosts of these types of carnivals like their participants to only use one banner but I like having options here on MPM. Oh yes I do although I did go and retire two of them on you but maybe you won’t even notice. I hope you like the new banners but feel free to use any of the ones listed on this page. Options, it’s all about the options people ~ go crazy!!

Our “Go Green” banner:

Our “Bring on the Summer BBQ” banner:

Another “Mr. Smiley” banner (isn’t he cute):

And now because a few of you have been asking for a sidebar button, I introduce to you the “I Love Menu Planning” button!

Photobucket

You can find the code for the button in my sidebar there on the left.  Thanks!

Onto other news this Baked Chicken Teriyaki recipe is so absolutely YUMMY! I’m not just saying that either because I invited my girlfriend for dinner and she ended up making it for me…LOL. So delicious and definitely having someone else make it for you is a nice treat that I highly recommend!

Thanks to everyone for all the cookie recipes in last week’s comments. You gals ROCK!

Here is what we’ll be eating this week:

Monday: Spaghetti Bolognese (didn’t get to last week)

Tuesday: Grilled Steaks served with baked potato and grilled veggies

Wednesday: Baked Honey Mustard Chicken served with perogies and broccoli

Thursday: Homemade Grilled Burgers served with Caesar salad

Friday: Southwestern Chicken Barley Soup served with homemade bread

Saturday: Pizza Pancakes

Sunday: Happy Mother’s Day!

WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU THIS WEEK?

Menu Plan Monday guidelines and banners are here.

Your banners are so cheerful. I am new to the menu planning thing but I am on board. Went through the freezer last night and sat down to plan out what we are having.

Hugs!!!

Yum, great menu Laura :)

Okay for the life of me I couldn’t get the code in the scroll box to work in my post but I did managed to get the code working in my sidebar. You’ll see it over there on the left.

I’ve also brought back the apron banner for you which you’ll find under the MPM tab at the top!!

OK, not to throw confusion into the mix.. but I’m pretty sure I just copied and pasted the code and didn’t do anything to it.. and it’s working fine on my page?

But for those who need to know, all you need to do is this:

Type in

BUT I added a space between “href” and “=” and also between “src” and “=” because I was afraid the code would actually work and I didn’t want it to, I wanted it to stay visible. So, no spaces before the = signs.

Ok, that didn’t work. Laura! Delete it! And this one, too. :)

You could direct people to instructions for adding a button to the sidebar on Blogging Basics 101, until you get it fixed. Just point out the addresses for the picture and the MPM tab.

I am excited to be joining for the first time. Hopefully this will help me to actually get in the groove of cooking dinner on time rather then being lazy and waiting for someone else to do it.

Thank you so much!
