Hi my name is Tara and I am the Org Junkie’s little sister. While I am sitting here posting this, Laura is just laying around, enjoying her vacation. Since my sister is here visiting us, we thought that it was only proper that we post our menu for the week.
We will be extremely busy in the coming week, there are still a few stores that Laura has not yet visited. I am sure that by the end of her visit that I will be completely shopped out and that I won’t be able to enter another store until her next visit.
My husband is a chef at the Fairmont Royal York and Laura has requested that he cook her a fancy dinner tomorrow night. With that said here is our weekly menu plan.
Monday - Caramelized apple and thyme stuffed roast of pork, with garlic chive mashed potatoes and seasoned pan jus; accompanied with grilled asparagus tips
Tuesday - Barbecued chicken, baked potatoes and squash
Wednesday - 10 minute fettuccini
Thursday - (My Birthday!! YAY!!) Ham, roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli
Friday - Soup and Grilled cheese
I hope everyone has a great week, I know that I will. I will be spending the week with my older sister and that is always a good time. I am sure that you all know by now that she is a little crazy.

Forget my plan for Monday. I am crashing your party! I know I enjoy my sisters so much. Have a great time together.
Hope you guy have a fantastic week together…and enjoy that Monday night meal! Sounds scrumptious!
Oops! My auto-thingy used an old title for my blog and filled it in as Sea Veg GF Book of Yum w/ risotto recipes at #10. Could you delete it for me? I re-did it as #13 correctly. Thanks so much and sorry for the mistake!
So glad you are carrying on with Menu plan Monday- Hi Org Junkie little sister!!!!

Hi Tara & Laura
I hope that you enjoy the week of meals (especially the Monday Meal) And Happy Birthday Tara!!! ;-)
Can your husband come and cook at my house? Please? Pretty please? With a cherry on top?
Your menus sound delicious and I’m really jealous!

Wow, what a yummy sounding Monday! Have a wonderful visit this week!
I need some organization as the holidays come roaring in. After reading about 20 menu plans, I figured this was one way I could take control! Thanks! Can’t wait to look around and find some new favorites :)
Um… can I come to dinner, too??? Now exactly where are y’all again?? :)
My birthday is Thursday too!! Very excited.
I’ll be posting my link sometime tomorrow.
Laura here. I’m so excited for tomorrow…I’m spoiled what can I say..he he. We’re in Ontario, come on over :)
I am sure you are enjoying the visit from your sister. Hope you don’t have to cook on your own birthday!
Haha, we *were* going to have boxed mac and cheese. NOT! The kidlet and I am on the way to crash that dinner. Hope your hubby is making a lot. :)
Have fun with your sis this week, Kiy
Okay watch how he cooks closely, then be prepared to make it once you get home…and then invite me over!!!
Enjoy your time with your sister, I don’t get to see mine nearly often enough.
It sounds like your dinner tomorrow will be so delicious! You are lucky! Also, Happy Birthday! Have a great big piece of cake for me :-)

Wish I had a chef in the family! No - strike that - I do too bad with mediocre food - no telling what I would look like eating that good all the time! :)
Good to have the reminder to do Menu Planning. It makes life run so smoothly!
Some excellent meals on you plans this week! I’m going to note some of them down and try them out!!
Hey Tara
Nice to meet you - please please please post a recipe for that 10-minute fettucine (it’s my favourite pasta)

I received my Little Lilly and Card Cubby this week and they are really great! The recipes that come with are good ones too. I will be putting them to good use. Thanks!!!
The Roast pork sounds amazing!
Happy Monday!
Mmmm… fancy food…. Nice! Hope you are having a great time!
Hello everyone! I love the extra incentive MPM gives me to make my shopping list and feel a bit less flustered at meal time.
Oh! being fed a meal like that all week would be heaven. A weekend was only a tease. Enjoy the rest of your well deserved vacation. Talk soon
Happy birthday!
Hi Tara and Laura,
Have a great week and enjoy your fabulous meals and shopping of course.
I am so excited to particapte i have been reading your blog for along time and this is my first menu plan monday. I have been menu planning for awhile though.
Linked my website. Lots of great ideas here! Thanks.
I am really enjoying doing this. It helps to see what others are doing and gives great ideas.
Shopping and “Fancy Foods”….My heart can’t hardly take it! :)
Sounds like a yummy week. I don’t know which sounds better, your menu or the fact that you get to spend time with your sister!
Toni

I am getting SO addicted (in a good way) to this Menu Planning!! This is SO much fun!! Thanks for helping me stay focused on keeping my food budget low and my family happy and healthy!!
Glad Org Junkie Little Sis is here!!
I hope this is the right place to put my comment. Thanks for the menu’s
Have a wonderful week! My older (by 11 months) sister was here this weekend to help with decorating for Christmas. She’ll be back every weekend through our open house the first Sunday in Dec. Good times! ~~Rhonda :)
I finally found you! I knew there was a central place for all of the menu planners I have seen around the blog world. It just took me a few weeks of seaching to find the “home base.” I couldn’t survive without my weekly menus!
Love this idea, have been sticking with it for about 6 weeks now!!
Gives my life some direction anyhow!!

Happy Birthday Laura’s sister. BTW Laura did an awesome job in her presentation this weekend. Don’t suppose she mentioned how popular she was and how we hung off every word…Now about those menus. Mine are so boring but couldn’t come up with anything else. Great to see you this weekend Laura - have a great visit! PS where in To are you? Can I come for cake?
Posted my November 10, 2008 menu. Thanks.
Lots of comfort food this week!
You did a terrific job. It’s nice that she’s taking a really vacation. Good for her.
Happy Birthday@
Happy Birthday to you, Laura’s little sister! Your menu is making me drool. Do you get to eat fancy alot seeing your hubby is a chef?
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a nice visit!
I always seem to be coming in on the tail end of Monday. It works for me though! I hope your vacation is fabulous!
Happy Birthday Tara! Thursday is our wedding anniversary so we’ll be celebrating too!
