Welcome!
Happy Memorial Day to those of you in the US! I understand that this is a big BBQ weekend for all of you so hopefully we’ll see some yummy BBQ recipes showing up on MPM this week :)
We had a really nice sunny warm day today (and by warm I mean 19 degrees C) and so we were able to get some yard work done in the backyard. We’d like to build a new deck this summer but are having trouble agreeing on how we want it to look. It’s hard for me because I’m such a visual person and staring at drawings on a piece of paper really does nothing for me. I don’t know how people build their own homes, I’d be a basket case LOL.
Last week’s recipe highlight definitely goes to the Healthified Mexican Pasta Skillet. This dish was so delicious but of course that could be because my husband made it and not me! My cooking attempts, as many of you saw last week, don’t always turn out :)
Mr. Linky has been behaving badly the last couple of weeks and it is causing my site to load pretty slowly. I’m hoping that’s all been fixed now but keep me posted if you have any problems.
Okay here is what we’ll be eating this week:
Monday: Chicken Caesar Wraps
Tuesday: Slow Cooker Teriyaki Ribs served with rice and broccoli
Wednesday: Fiesta Meatloaf served with fries and frozen veggies
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Crispy Baked Chicken served with spinach salad
Saturday: Mashed Potato Sausage Bake
Simple Supper Sunday
Have a wonderful week everybody!

I tried several times and I’m still not sure if the linky worked so here is my post – http://grocerysavingsforrealfamilies.blogspot.com/2009/05/weekly-menu-plan-for-may-24-30.html
Thanks.
Oh Mr. Linky…
Here’s my meal plan: http://themealplanner.blogspot.com/2009/05/meal-plan-week-23.html
Mr. Linky still seems to be having problems. My menu can be found at http://thematzats.blogspot.com.
Okay weird, sometimes Mr. Linky is there (and I see some of you have managed to link up) and then it’s gone again. I had to remove some header script thing as per their instructions which I did and it’s still acting up. So frustrating!!!!
I’m not having luck with Mr. L at the moment either! Here’s my menu plan this week: http://misadventuresofmub.blogspot.com/2009/05/menu-plan-monday-may-25-2009.html
Sorry I ended up posting twice – Mr. Linky is being wacky!
And I posted on #11, and it disappeared, then when I did link, it linked the wrong one, sorry. I think it’s fixed, not sure.

BBQ season is well and truly over here in the southern hemisphere. Hope you enjoy yours though!
The Mashed Potato Sausage bake sounds awesome! Good for you for expanding your boundaries, if you know what I mean! :v)
Good luck with your backyard planning! It sounds like it’ll be rewarding once it’s done. We’re still working on ours, but I have fantasies of cook-outs and movie nights.
Well, Mr Linky is working for me, I guess you got the kinks worked out ok!
I did post one favorite of my kids at our normal bbqs in the summer… Ambrosia salad.
Hope you enjoy!
Ahh we are having wraps and ribs this week too. Yum!
Mr. Linky seemed to work well for me.
Today I’m thinking about what to do when you have your menu plan, but the kids are held up at soccer, or you’re running late! I have emergency strategies to avoid McDonald’s!
Visit To Love, Honor and Vacuum today!
Hi,
I don’t have a blog, but I have been reading your blog for a couple of years, and guess what? I FINALLY MENU PLANNED for the first time last week. It was fantastic!!! So we did it again this week. I can’t believe I haven’t been doing this!
Yum yum! I am getting back in menu planning after a disorganized and rather expensive hiatus. :)
I don’t see Mr. Linky. http://nikkit3.blogspot.com/2009/05/menu-plan-monday-may-25th.html
Happy Memorial Day!
I am not seeing Mr Linky.

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I featured your blog today! :)

Hey Laura, ’bout that deck…check into some sort of 3D drawing software, such as Punch! http://www.punchsoftware.com/index.htm
If you are decently good with computers, you can play around and see what you want, with one of the cheaper versions ($50 or less), and you’ll be able to relay your ideas to your husband, and vise versa. Oh, and if you find that you don’t work too great with the program, pick your favourite computer-savvy teenager and see if they’ll do it for you.
I posted my Grilled Brats:-)
No Mr linky? Here is my plan:

Mr. Linky isn’t working for me right now so here’s our link:
http://hammsandcheeses.blogspot.com/2009/05/menu-plan-monday_24.html
Mr. Linky is still having problems. I linked up right away last night and it disappeared. So I linked up again. Today it was gone again. After four attempts it seems to be sticking. Here is my link in case it disappears again.

Hi! I can’t decide what to do with my chicken thighs for tomorrow night- come help me decide!
http://suddenlystayathome.blogspot.com/2009/05/menu-plan-monday_25.html
Oh, gosh. The menu sounds good but both my husband and I have a head cold with stuffed up noses and neither of us feel like cooking. So far our menu has been popcorn, chinese take out and soup. Anything we don’t have to cook!
I’ll be back when we feel better. Ugh……….

Now…I know I saw the Mr. Linky yesterday! Forgot to add my link then, and now it’s gone. Oh well!
I’ve got a couple of recipe links this week and a request — I’m looking for family friendly and Weight Watcher friendly recipes. Thanks!

Still no Mr. Linky for me. *sigh* Guess I’ll have to do this the old fashioned way and actually leave a comment.
Need some serious ideas for “picnic dinners” now that ballgames are starting 5 nights a week. HELP!
