Menu Plan Monday ~ August 27/12
Hi friends, here we are in the last week of August. No, say it isn’t so. This week for me is all about getting organized for back to school. I spent the majority of the weekend re-hauling my office. It was desperately needed and I can’t wait to show you how it turned out. It’s such a small space so I really had to make the most of every square inch.
I don’t have a garden but I do have a girlfriend with one and she shared some zucchini with me this week. Yum, yum!
Tonight we had some grilled zucchini with some spices and a little melted cheese. Oh my was it ever good! I think I’ll shred the rest up in 2 cup portions for the freezer to use later on.
Recipe Highlight:
My favorite recipe from last week goes to the Chicken Pesto Alfredo. It was delicious and easy to throw together.
What was your favorite dish last week?
I hope this week ahead is a delicious one for you 🙂

Zucchini is so good and versatile. Have a wonderful week!
Thanks Rita, you too!
The kids are back in school which it means it is time for Mom to get back to her organized ways!! Have a great week!
You too Char!
We had a bunch of big zucchini this week, too, so I breaded and baked them. Yum! It’s our last week so we’re trying to squeeze in as much fun as possible while I declutter closets.
I’ve been having fun decluttering my office closet. Going to take after pics today.
When my kids were still at home I loved YOYO days! Always interesting to see what they would come up with. The son’s was usually the healthiest. The girls – anything was game.
LOL…we get some interesting combos here 🙂
Applesauce BBQ chicken? That sounds yummy!
Mmmmm… love zucchini!
Actually changing up my recipe for tonite because my mom brought me 5 HUGE zucchinis yesterday…. so, making stuffed zucchini boats. YUM!
Checking out the recipe links you provided.
Everything looks delicious.
Thanks for hosting MPM! It is so incredibly helpful to have one central place to go for ideas and inspiration. My favorite meal from our week was last Monday when we did BLTs because it was such a simple supper and complaint free.
Mmmmm I love BLT’s!!
Ooh, I love zucchini! I could eat it all the time. And those shredded beef tacos look so tasty. Have a great week!
I know, I can’t believe it’s almost September either! Where did the summer go? And I had all these plans of what I would get done…darn. 🙂
Just wondering where you buy your powdered ranch dressing mix? I can’t seem to find it in the grocery stores in Canada – do you use a substitute?
Hi Helen, I buy it from my local grocery store here (IGA). It is with the salad dressings.
That chicken alfredo looks so easy and yummy. I’m adding that to my list for sure! I don’t know how summer flew by so quickly either–before we know it, it’ll be the holidays! (Sorry, shouldn’t have said that! :))
Yikes!! 🙂
That applesauce BBQ chicken looks delicious! Thanks for hosting!
My favorite dish last week was Greek pork tenderloin with lemony orzo. My family goes for anything Greek and I am finally learning how easy it is to make.
I’m ba-ack!
Welcome back Kelly!!
We had a tie for our favorite dinner from last week.
1. Tortilla Chicken Casserole with Roasted Cauliflower
2. Cajun Chicken Pasta with Salad
These were both delicious and pretty easy week night meals with just a little prep work the night before.

We love love love zucchini here! We will be having it twice this week, actually 🙂 Last week, I think our favorite was the grilled chicken tacos. 🙂 Have a great week! Your menu looks super yummy!
The Slowcooker Pizza Pasta looks yummy and so many different ways to fix it. Unfortunately we did not get a lot of zucchini this year. I was able to freeze some for minestrone and sauteing a little later in the year. Thanks for hosting.
Grilled zucchini sounds delicious! Thanks for hosting. BTW, I ove your YOYO days – sounds like a great plan when my kids get older.
My week started out super busy, but I finally made it to the party. : ) Have a great week Laura.
