Welcome!   Are you all ready to get menu planning crossed off your list for another week?   No?   If you need a little menu planning direction and tips, I’ve got a fantastic FREE e-book to tell you about this week that will guide you through menu planning step by step.  Click on the button below to access it.

Next, I want to give you all a big shout out of thanks for last week.  I didn’t have to change one single link last week!  I was so proud.  So just in case we have some new people join us this week (welcome!) here is one last friendly reminder:

Please don’t do this:

Previous week menu highlight goes to the Mexican Pasta Bake.  This turned out way better than expected.  I served it up for my in-laws with some garlic bread and a spinach salad and everyone really enjoyed it.   I love serving casseroles when company is over because there is no last minute rush on dinner preparation that has to be done.  It can all be prepared in advance and then you just pop it into the oven when ready and go right back to visiting.  My kind of meal!

So I’ve got one last exciting thing to talk to you about today.

Are you interested in hosting a Menu Plan Monday?

Next Monday I’m going to be out of town to take my son for allergy testing so rather than be stressed trying to do MPM from afar I thought I’d offer up the opportunity for one of you to host MPM.   I do have a couple of criteria though, you must be able to put your MPM post up Sunday evening by 8:00 pm PST (11:00 EST) and you must have Mr. Linky set up already on your site.  If you are interested and can accommodate both of those criteria, please leave a comment below letting me know you would like to be considered.    I’ll announce my decision on Thursday of this week.   Please feel free to bribe me in any way.  What?  Gosh did I just write that out loud? I apologize, such bad hosting behavior.  I totally wouldn’t accept any bribes…have I told you how much I LOVE chocolate?….stop it Laura…so bad.

Here’s what we’ll be eating this week:

Monday: Linguine with Garlic Sauce (I’ll use 1% milk and light cream cheese to lighten it up)

Tuesday: Chicken Tortilla Soup served with homemade bread machine bread

Wednesday: Honey BBQ Meat Loaf served with roasted red potatoes

Thursday: Leftover Buffet

Friday: Turkey Meatball Subs

Saturday: 30 Minute Almond Chicken

Simple Supper Sunday

Hello! I would love to host MPM for you next week. My Haute Plates blog is all for recipes and meal ideas. I already have Mr Linky set up for my series “Date Your Mate” on my other blog, but I bought the big membership ;-) so I can do one for Haute Plates too. Thanks!

phew, better late than never! I have been following this for a while, and this week, really felt I needed to have a plan in place. And now I have shopped the plan and am ready for the rest of the week. :-)

I’m very glad to have found this site. I also offer my menus on Monday and didn’t realize that you have a thriving exchange! My menu offers all veggie recipes and the food for my family (for all meals) cost less than $60 this week – hooray!

I would love to host MPM. I’ve been menu planning for awhile but just recently found this site. I have Mr. Linky set up but haven’t used it before. I would love to try it out.

Just came back to see if there was a St. Patricks themed banner (or Irishish) I guess I’ll have to use the “green” one instead lol. Oh well…

While I’m here though… I moved everything off my NHHM blog (where I linked this) to my main blog. The old links still work though.
