Menu Plan Monday ~ Dec 1st

Hello my friends, can you believe December is upon on us already!  Where does the time go?  I’m late posting today as I was trying so very hard to get the freezer cooking links up and ready for you.  Please be sure to go take a look for lots of ideas on stocking your freezer full of everyday meals as well as how to get a jump start on your holiday dishes.  Let me know what you think!

I hope you like the new holiday banners I made up as well.  I tried to come up with two totally different looks for you.  I’m all about the options people :)

Okay so with the holidays upon us now more than ever is the time to menu plan.  If you have been following along with Menu Plan Monday but have yet to jump in (I know you’re out there!), now is the time.  Save yourself the supper mad rush headache by planning out a couple of meals to start and you will see what a load off it is knowing what’s for dinner those nights.   We’ve got almost 300 ladies showing up here each week who wouldn’t keep doing it if it didn’t work.  Menu planning works, trust us!

So here’s what’s on menu plan this week:

Monday: Hashbrown Sausage Skillet (didn’t have last week)

Tuesday: Spaghetti

Wednesday: Crockpot Maple Dijon Chicken

Thursday: Leftover buffet

Friday: Going out to a Xmas Party for dinner!

Saturday: Homemade Pizza

Simple Supper Sunday

WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU THIS WEEK?

Menu Plan Monday banners and guidelines are here.

Don’t forget to enter the giveaway for a Pouchee if you haven’t already!

    I also wrote a little note about your freezer links post in my MPM post this week. What alot of work you went to to compile that. Thank you! I think it will be helpful for alot of people:)

    That maple dijon chicken thing looks really good. I went to the link, and I’ll have to try that!

    Nice freezer meal links also. I used to do once a month cooking when Jo-jo was a baby. Now she’s almost 15. I will say this about freezer meals: not all are created equally. Some would have been better not frozen and just having the meals on hand. (I’m thinking of the frozen noodle things–why not freeze the sauce and make the noodles fresh?)

    I transitioned to: Make a Mix type of stuff a few years later. This is another great time saver.

    Now, I try to cook as fresh as possible, but some meals lend themselves to being frozen: lasagna, chicken packets, burgers, etc.

    The convenience of freezer meals can not be beat! Thanks for the great inspiration.

    First time posting the menu plan. I’m hoping to keep up with it, as it seems like such a great tool. I’m especially hoping to cut down my grocery bill buy only buying food related to the meals I’m making – so far so good!
