How is everyone doing? Happy to be menu planning I hope!
Here we are for Menu Plan Monday Family Favorites Edition!! You are invited to post at least one recipe or recipe link of one of your family’s favorite meals. That way we know that every link we click on this week will have a tried and true recipe for us to check out. I absolutely love finding new recipes to try and I enjoy it even more when someone else gives it the thumbs up first. As a reminder you can find all my family’s favorite recipes here.
Well let’s see, my recipe highlight this week isn’t off my menu plan but something I decided to do at the last minute. I had some friends come over for lunch and decided to make up some Brownie Cups for dessert. I was craving some chocolate what can I say :) They were really delicious, especially hot from the oven. Yummmmmmm!
My recommended menu planning resource today is another free option that might help make the menu planning process a little easier for some. It’s called Simplify Supper and although I can’t remember who first told me about it (sorry!) I’m glad they did. It appears to be very easy to use. You simply choose the recipes from the ones they provide and add them to your calendar and it then prints up a corresponding shopping list for you. The only downfall I can see is that you can’t import other recipes but maybe that’s something they’ll add in future.
Our menu this week:
Monday: Creamy Pepperoni Ziti
Tuesday: *Family Favorite* Slow Cooker Beef Stew (didn’t end up having last week)
Wednesday: * Family Favorite* Bruschetta Chicken
Thursday: Mexican Lasagna
Friday: Heading out of town on a Mom/Daughter weekend, woohoo! Not sure what hubbie and the boys will be doing :)

We love the Bruschetta chicken as well!!
Great menu plan.
Enjoy your week!

Someday I might get my post into the 100’s instead of 305! It’s great there are so many people joining in! I just wish I had time to read them all. Thanks Laura for hosting this. I have gotten so many great ideas, both by reading other menus and by forcing myself to plan!
Great Idea! I think I will be checking out this week over the coming up months as we are trying to find more recipes we like and want to try.
thanks Laura – I’m whipping up Susanne’s mexican lasagna for this weekend – anyone else giving me menu ideas is always a big help.
I am new to MPM, but I am so excited to see everyone else’s ideas!
OOPS! forgot to link to my blog!
Laura, I made your family favorite Bruschetta Chicken for dinner this evening…it was wonderful (and so easy). I’ll definitely be adding this to my menu planning arsenal. Thanks.
