I made those Black Bean Quesadillas and we all loved them. I think that will be one of our new favorites around here. Thank you.

Audrey keep watching the links as hopefully those cooking for 1 or 2 will let others know by putting (cooking for 1 or 2) beside their name in the Mr. Linky list.

Terri isn’t that a great way to get the kids to eat their carrots. Love it! And believe me I know what it’s like to be an amatuer cook, that’s me! Good recipes totally help :)

love your blog. I keep falling off the menu planning wagon and have yet to actually post any attempts but am determined to get there. I am a little backwards right now as I use your site to get ideas for that nights dinner if I can’t think of something on my own. LOVED the mama’s amazing ziti. my hubby too is not nuts about tomato soup and so I didn’t have any in the pantry. used canned tomato sauce instead and that worked out really well I thought. I received odd looks for the carrots but no complaints about taste or texture – yay! hopefully I’ll get brave and post a menu plan someday soon. :) thanks for inspiring amatuer cooks everywhere!

I am single and live by myself. I enjoy cooking but find it incredibly difficult to make small sized meals with just a serving or two. I also do not have a oven which makes things a little more difficult, but try my best to work around that. I tend to just through some unhealthy dish together, I am really trying to eat better and on a budget. Are there any blogs that you could point me to with family sizes of just one or two?

Looks like I’m probably the last one to post the menu for this week. Oh well, better late than never, right?

Lisa I hadn’t considered more than one linky but I do fear that would complicate things because I wouldn’t be able to please everyone and have a linky for every category. So far though it seems to be working with participants including a category or theme beside their name on the list.

Thanks Handy Man, Crafty Woman…simple dinners is definitely a goal of mine each week because I don’t like to spend a lot of time in my kitchen but still want to serve my family healthy meals.

Liz your recipe was so delicious and healthy and I can’t wait to try more of them out for sure :)

Congrats on breaking the 500 mark. That’s so cool. Janice and I at Meal Makeover Moms’ Kitchen would like to thank you for sharing our Mama’s Amazing Ziti recipe last week for Menu Plan Monday! We’re always happy to share, so feel free to check out all of our recipes on our main website as well as the blog. By the way, the Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin looks really good!

I really like your menus because they are such simple foods; we eat a lot of the same things you guys eat. We do breakfast for dinner once in a while, too. I don’t plan out every meal every week, but I’ve gotten a lot better about what I call semi-planning, and having the ingredients handy for those things we do make often.

Hi Laura: Last week was my first week of mpm. Here’s how I did it- bought all the groceries for the week. But instead of having them on certain nights I just made whatever I was in the mood for that night. This helped tremendously by me not having to choose the recipes- which takes so long. In the future I will also peruse the family favorites section to substitute a dish etc…Thank you and we loved the ziti, too!!!
