So it appears I hit a nerve when I discussed earlier about parting ways with some of our cookbooks. Let’s just say I was definitely feeling the resistance! :) Some of you took up my challenge and some of you are hanging on to those cookbooks for dear life thinking I’m actually going to come to your house and pry them out of your hands…LOL. You can relax, I just wanted to give you something to ponder and thankfully that’s about as controversial as this blog is ever going to get :)
My mom phoned me with a great idea for actually using the cookbooks that invade our shelves. Menu planning! She just recently planned a six week menu plan rotation using all recipes from two different cookbooks. She’s had these cookbooks for years and never used them and now she is using them all the time just by doing a little advance menu planning. Give it a try! Dust those cookbooks off and put them to good use and then I won’t have to pester you again about getting rid of them…he he.
Alrighty have I talked about my love of the Baked Teriyaki Chicken. Oh my goodness gracious! I could so eat this same recipe every single day, it is that good!

Help! My post on organizing your child’s room was nominated for a Tip Junkie Award. If you found it helpful would you consider voting for me? I’m shameless I know but my five lonely votes are looking a little pathetic and my ego can’t take it :)

We are down to the last items in our pantry this week so it’s going to be a struggle to eat the same thing multiple times this week. We can do it!
Happy Valentine’s Day week. I hope you have a Blessed week.
I love Bruschetta Chicken — but I opt for a much simpler recipe. :)
I’m so glad you told me I could release my cookbooks! I emailed my friends and they are going to come and take my cookbooks away.
I have been watching your site for some time and now and I’m just getting to the point where I’m organized enough (:p) to participate in the menu planning Monday. Hopefully I did everything right! Thanks for helping us all get organized!
I just got my menu for this week up- thanks so much for the motivation to keep up the planning each week, I love your site!
Holy cow… it just keeps growing, doesn’t it?? :) On Valentine’s Day: we have gotten away from going out to eat as well – the long lines and high prices, are just not worth the hassle! We’ll be at home and probably have some chocolate fondue for dessert, a rousing game of Monopoly with dear son, and a quiet evening for Mom and Dad. ;) As always, thanks for hosting.
This is my first Menu Plan Monday. I love reading everyone elses!
Hey, that teriyaki chicken sounds great. We’ll have to try it sometime!
Thanks so much for hosting this. I so enjoy browsing everyone else’s ideas! And it keeps me motivated to be creative too. Low budget this week, but I think it will do.
The chicken caesar salad in pitas sounds great!
Hello there, found your website and MPM through your namesis @ Heavenly Homemakers. Am going to try to post a menu each week, maybe this will help stick to the task :)
Hello my friend Laura. I have to say, I agree with you on getting rid of the books, however I do have some clients (and friends) who just love them. Either way, it’s just nice to “stir up the pot” a bit and get people thinking… I am going to try your chicken recipe next week… thanks for sharing!
I tried the Baked Teriyaki Chicken recipe tonight and it was a hit. Thanks for recommending it.
