Menu Plan Monday ~ Nov 3rd + giveaway

Updated to add: The winner of the MPM giveaway is Mamma D of FairyBread. Congratulations!!

Hello everyone!  I’m coming to you today from the eastern coast sitting in a comfy chair at my mommy’s house!  I made it here without incident and my son traveled so well, praise God.  So, as I’m sure you can understand, I’m not planning a menu myself this week but I do have much to share with you today starting with the Chicken Soup with Tortellini and Cheese recipe I made last week.  It was so delicious!  If you are looking for a fast and easy recipe it was yummy, yummy, yummy!

Last week I was emailing with Amy from Mom’s Toolbox and we were talking about freezer meals.  She wants to prepare some meals now to put away for the upcoming busy Christmas season to make life a little easier.  As this is something I’ve not done a lot of myself I’m interested in learning more as is Amy.  I’m guessing there are probably others interested as well.  So I’m thinking what I’d like to do is compile a list of links that explain a little bit more about how to go about it with maybe some great freezer meal recipes included.  If you have something like that on your site and would like to be included in my link fest could you please send me an email with the link and put “freezer meals” in the subject line for me.  That would be great, thanks!

Next up I have to tell you all about For the Love of Pie.  If you are interested in pie recipes or in learning more about making pie then you are in for a FREE treat.  Since I have always been too scared to venture into pie making from scratch I was thrilled to get my hands on this resource.  My blogging friend Laura from Heavenly Homemakers has compiled a fantastic ebook called For the Love of Pie, filled with 31 tried and true pie recipes, and is giving it away for FREE!  Be sure to head on over and download a copy for yourself.

Finally because my last giveaway was so much fun, I’m holding another one today just for you faithful menu planners.  It’s my way of saying thank you to you for coming around here week after week and joining me in such an important household task.  It makes it so much more fun to have company and I really do appreciate each and every one of you.   One lucky participant is going to receive a Little Lily and Card Cubby set from Lily On the Fly!

This most excellent menu planning resource has recently combined forces with the Card Cubby company, both of which I’ve mentioned around here before.  It’s a great partnership designed to help you organize a weekly food plan AND your coupons all in one place.  I also think this would make a great gift.  If you are interested in purchasing a set, Lily On the Fly is also offering a coupon code just for my readers.  Enter OrgJunkie4Lily at checkout and get 20% off your order.  The code is good through to the end of December.

To be eligible to win one set today all you have to do is link up to your Menu Plan Monday post below as usual by Tuesday at 12:00 noon EST and I’ll draw a winner by random shortly after.  Good luck!

Whew told you we had a lot to talk about today…lol.  Have a great week everyone, I know I will :)

I have LOADS of recipes over on my site, and many are freezable! :)

You may want to note that I actually have two blogs: Notes From the Cookie Jar (http://cookienotes.blogspot.com) is more about writing, but it’s sister site Recipes from the Cookie Jar is ALL food. I moved my MPM there. :)

I haven’t done this for a while but i was all planned out so I figured I’d link up.
Hope you’re having a good visit with your mom :-)
Love the idea of the freezer meals, it’s not something I do but with a baby on the way it’s something I need to look into even if it’s just for those first few weeks.
