Menu Plan Monday ~ Sept 29th + Giveaway

Photobucket

Fall is upon us and so I thought we needed a new fall banner.  I love the colors of fall so much and I’m thinking fall may be becoming my new favorite season.

So I love me a giveaway but as much as I love giveaways, I also love new products!  Today we are combining both of those concepts and giving away a fairly new product on the market that is all about educating and empowering your kids to eat healthy.  SuperNoots was created by two moms looking for a way to instill healthy eating habits into their kids in a fun and encouraging way.  From what I can tell it not only looks fun but easy to use as well.  Lori is giving away today, to one Menu Plan Monday participant, a SuperNoots Starter Pack valued at $34.95!

It comes complete with a Food Chart, 16 Magnets, 1 Shopping List, 1 Snack Pack, Parent’s Guide and ribbon for hanging.  One winner will be chosen, not from the comments, but from the list of participants off of today’s Menu Plan Monday Mr. Linky list below.  In other words to be eligible all you need to do is post your weekly menu on your blog and link up that specific post into the Mr. Linky here as usual by Tuesday, Sept 30th at 6:00 pm PST.  Thanks Lori!

Last week I made the delicious Onion Strings from Pioneer Woman, oh my word were they good.  Has anyone else tried these?  Not so healthy but hey what’s a little treat now and then although I’m pretty sure I gain weight just looking at all the yummy food pictures on her site :)

Here is what we’ll be eating this week in our house:

Monday: Sunny BLT Sandwiches

Tuesday: Chicken Caesar Pitas

Wednesday: Happy 9th Birthday to my son!  His favorite for dinner, hamburgers and french fries served with Gluten Free White Cake for dessert.

Thursday: Leftover buffet

Friday: Personal Pepperoni Pizzas

Saturday: Savory Spaghetti Sauce

Sunday: If you can find it you can eat it day!

WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU THIS WEEK?

    Sounds like a tasty week :) Happy Birthday to you *son* Happy Birthday to you!!!! I have it on the main page as the template is screwed up…

    Laura, this sounds like a great idea! My older kids are getting pretty big but my little guy could probably use so nutritional nudges!

    I always fix my kid’s favorite meals on their birthdays, too. Sometimes, they are the only one who enjoys their meals – but that’s what birthdays are for, right?

    Late tonight. I can hardly believe I’m up to post, but now I see it’s worth it. Nice giveaway.

  10. Posted September 28, 2008 at 11:17 pm | Permalink

    It’s just me and my hubby E at home, which makes meal planning both a little easier and a little harder than if we had kids to feed – hopefully, we’ll be able to stay on track this week!

    I hope your son has a happy birthday.
    Love the new fall banner too.

    The week looks good! I am in the mood for soups and comfort food so my menu has lots of crock pot recipes this week.

    Glad to be playing along again this week. last week was not so good, because i skipped out on planning our meals! I missed the family fav, so I posted one this week! Cappucino Muffins!! My son has a birthday this week too! He’s 5!

    The new banner is great. We’ve got burgers on our menu this week also – and cake to celebrate our son being home on leave. Adjusting to life in the military for our boys is not easy! But we will savor the time together. Speaking of savoring, your week looks yummy and comforting. Thanks for hosting, as always!

    Fun! I’d love to win. Thanks for the opportunity. :)

    I like the new fall banner – but the apron one is still my favorite. :) Last weeks Family Favorites was so much fun! It was nice to go around and check out what other people’s families enjoyed. Thank you!

    I have never tried her onion strings but I have tried her crash potatoes and they were awesome!

    Cool giveaway. And I think it looks like a really fun way to teach our kids to eat healthy.

    Finally. I finally remembered to update my site and link to this page. Your menu page has been a great source of inspiration for me in the past. The least I can do is link back to it. Thanks.

    sounds like a yummy week!! I also wanted to say I LOVE your blog and it has inspired me so much. When you’re the mom of 2 soon to be 3 all under the age of 3 and the husband is always deployed for months at a time, being super organized keeps you sane….or at least its keeping me sane =)

  49. Posted September 29, 2008 at 10:11 am | Permalink

    Great giveaway! I may have to try those onion strings….

  50. Posted September 29, 2008 at 10:33 am | Permalink

    That is an awesome giveaway!

  51. Posted September 29, 2008 at 10:42 am | Permalink

    I’m new :). I don’t plan on Mondays, but on Fridays. I do my grocery shopping on Saturdays because my husband and I enjoy doing it together when he’s off work. Thanks for having me!

  52. Posted September 29, 2008 at 10:42 am | Permalink

    Heya! Good-looking banner – I like the colors of the fall, too. :)

    Happy Bday to your son! Hope he has a good day!

    Personal pizzas.. hm.. what a thought. I may try to make some next time I make pizza dough in the bread machine. :) Thanks!

  56. Posted September 29, 2008 at 12:38 pm | Permalink

    Interesting take on BLT’s. I wonder how those would turn out. Kind of makes me think of that sandwich Adam Sandler makes on the movie Spanglish.

  57. Posted September 29, 2008 at 1:36 pm | Permalink

    I really like the new header! And I know *exactly* what you mean about gaining wait just LOOKING at PW’s recipes.

    I have tried PW’s onion strings too ! They are sooooooo delicious !! Loved them. Might be about time to make them again ! :)

    I just completed my first official week of menu planning and I am SOLD! This is my first week participating in MPM and I look forward to many more weeks and more inspiration for my own menus! Thanks for hosting!

  60. Posted September 29, 2008 at 4:10 pm | Permalink

    I’m new to your site and wish I had the time to put together a menu. I haven’t done one in a while but I used to put together an entire month plan. That worked great for me b/c if I had a list of 30 meals I planned for the month and could swap meals from day to day if I wanted.

    This if my first time…love all the great ideas!

    The ultimate organizer for a years worth of menus. Breakfast, lunch, AND dinner. All in one place. By the month, 3 daily menus, recipes for the month (right there), shopping lists that include all of the incidentals for each of the menus. It took Aunt Nonnie three years to assemble and coordinate all the information. Talk about organizing!
