Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I am feeling much better emotionally and sometime soon I’ll gather my thoughts and explain why. Thanks for all your wonderful comments.
Due to some schedule changes in our home this past week I never got around to making two of the recipes I had planned. Not a big deal though because I can just move them forward to this week if I want, I love the flexibility of menu planning!
Each week I try and share a new menu planning resource with you if I come across something that I think would be helpful to others. This one is brilliant and although it doesn’t help us so much with our own menu planning it is an awesome FREE service if you are trying to coordinate meals for others. It’s called Food Tidings, a website that exists to simplify the process of organizing meals for friends or family members in a transitional time of life. For someone who has just had a baby, recovering from surgery or injury, grieving the passing of a loved one, confined to bed rest, and almost anything else, receiving dinners from loved ones can be very comforting and helpful. I just signed up and created a “dummy” schedule just to see how it works and it’s amazingly simple and efficient. Once you’ve got a schedule created you can quickly email others giving them the opportunity to choose a day to bring a meal that is convenient for them. As an organizing junkie, this kind of simple streamlining makes me very very happy.
So here is what’s on our menu. Have a great week all!
Monday: Mexican Chicken Soup served with Bread Machine Wheat Bread
Tuesday: Pepperoni Pasta
Wednesday: Crockpot Apple, Cheddar & Turkey Meatballs (these look so good, I just have to try them!) served with rice
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Baked Chicken and Acorn Squash
Saturday: Grilled steak, baked potatoes and grilled garden veggies
Sunday: Casual night aka last ditch fridge clean out

This is a great idea! I’m a newbie to this linky thing and meal planning. I’ve planned meals (b-fast, lunch, dinner & snack) 4 weeks in a row, and I’m hooked.
Well thanks for the pepperoni nod :) You slap on some cheese and pepperoni and anything will taste better!
Those meatballs you’re making for Wednesday sound yum-o! Have a great week. Glad you’re feeling better, I prayed for you.
Hey Laura,
I hope you find your mojo soon. I’ve missed “chatting” with you.
I saw the recipe for the turkey crockpot meatballs and thought they looked yummy too – but hubby will NOT eat ground turkey. :/ The Mexican Chicken soup looks like something we might try! Thanks for always hosting…. I’m so late – I’ve never been in the 300s before… but better late than never!! :)
OK – I finally got back into this – I haven’t posted a menu since July 27! Yikes!
Thanks for the link, it will really come in helpful when I have to plan for my mother’s surgery……
Your menu looks awesome….
And on the previous post about the east coasters….I check as many of the menus that I can…..I like the creative names people use to catch my attention….it works.
This is my first time ever joining a Mr. Linky! Looks like fun and I’m looking forward to adding even more menu plans in the future.
Ok, this is my 1st time and I am late with my post:) I am hoping by planning weekly menus, I will save some $$$.
I must admit I’m in a bit of a slump with menu planning but I did get three meals thought out for this week.
Tagged you for a blogging meme today.
You continue to make our lives easier and more organized :0)
I can’t get over how many people the MPM had this week!!!! YIPPEE!!!! I think it’s GREAT!!!!! =)
You are doing such a GREAT job!!!!!!!
Laura, LOVE your site. Since finding it, I have been making some awesome meal plans using your posters’ recipes/ideas. I thank you and so does my family who can now ask, “What’s for dinner” without getting a snippy reply back (because I now know the answer!). Thanks!
I actually just found a great sale on ground turkey ($1.50 a pound!) so I am thinking those turkey meatballs are going on the menu this week! Thanks for all you do..menu planning is doing wonders for me :)
I’m just going to HAVE to try the Apple, Cheddar & Turkey Meatballs VERY soon!
