Menu Plan Monday ~ August 18th

Hello my happy fellow menu planners!! Guess what? After considering all your comments last week, I decided to bite the bullet and make the Greek Spaghetti last week despite the number of ingredients. I’m happy to report that it was well worth the effort and it was delicious!! The only thing I didn’t like about it was the celery but my husband didn’t seem to mind, go figure….oh and I only used one package of spinach :)

It did take a little extra time to make but it was a great recipe for my daughter (11) to help me with. Her job was to gather and measure all the ingredients for me while I assembled. We made an awesome team!

Speaking of kids cooking I got a lovely email the other day introducing me to a new site called Jr Chefs of America. It’s all about kids teaching other kids how to cook by video. It’s a great idea for getting kids excited about being in the kitchen and inspiring them to cook up some delicious recipes for themselves. So far they have eight recipe videos up but add a new one every other week. Check it out!

I’d also like to recommend two other dishes from last week. The Bruschetta Chicken and the Southwest Lasagna Rolls were so good and quick to prepare as well. I used gluten free noodles in the lasagna rolls and you couldn’t even tell!

Thanks to everyone who participated last week we reached OVER 300 Menu Plan Monday participants!!  So very exciting!!!

Here is what we’ll be eating in my neck of the woods this week:

Monday: Zesty Corn Quesadillas

Tuesday: Hamburgers on the bbq served with caesar salad

Wednesday: 5 Minute Southwest Layered Salad
