Menu Plan Monday ~ May 13/13 + teacher appreciation
Happy Monday everyone! Or as happy as Mondays can be anyway. Hope you all enjoyed a nice Mother’s Day yesterday. I wasn’t feeling well so I stayed in my jammies all day and my family took good care of me. I had breakfast and lunch in bed and then for dinner my husband picked up take out. Any day that I don’t have to cook is the best day ever!
My daughter even made me some delicious homemade cinnamon biscuit buns so I couldn’t not have one. It was worth the wheat cheat cause they were really yummy 🙂
Recipe Highlight:
Last week’s recipe highlight definitely goes to the Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Casserole recipe. Seriously so easy to throw together and so delicious. I also loved that it was nice and creamy without any canned soup. I think next time I would throw in some corn as well to make it a well-rounded meal 🙂
Teacher Appreciation:
We celebrated Education Week last week by throwing a nice beef on a bun luncheon for the teachers at my youngest son’s school. I purchased the most adorable printables off of Etsy to use and it turned out so nice. Thank you to teachers everywhere for all you do!
Go love on your teachers today! Need some more ideas, check out my Teacher Appreciation Ideas Pinterest Board.
My Weekly Menu Plan:
Monday: Citrus Herb Chicken served with rice and broccoli
Tuesday: Make-Ahead Unstuffed Shells (I’ll be making two of these…one to take to a friend and one made with rice pasta for us)
Wednesday: Easy Crock Pot BBQ Pork Sandwiches
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Baked Tacos
Saturday: Cheesy Sausage Potatoes
Sunday: Picking night!

Cute teacher set up! Hope you are feeling better today. Susie
Thanks Susie, I am 🙂
I am so glad you enjoyed the cheeseburger casserole. Corn would be great in this. It is one of those dishes you could easily change up. I hope you have a great week.
Thanks Lynn for another great recipe, you are awesome!!
What a lovely spread you put on for your teachers! I can tell you that as a former teacher, the teachers at my school and I really did appreciate being appreciated 🙂
I am so in awe of what teachers do everyday in support of my kids especially after this year of homeschooling my oldest. Yikes, it’s so hard!
I love the pennant sign on the table – it’s fabulous!
Thanks for hosting, as always!
Doesn’t it look awesome, so happy how it turned out!
We love tacos at our house. But I never thought about baking it! What a great idea.
We find it so much easier to do it that way 🙂
I’m excited to see my Easy Crock Pot BBQ Pork Sandwiches on your menu this week. Hope you love them as much as we do!
They look delicious!!
Such cute ideas for Teacher Appreciation! I’ll be following your Pinterest board since I’m a homeroom mom and expect to do it again next year.
Sorry you didn’t feel well on Mother’s Day but it sounds like you were treated well. Those cinnamon biscuit buns look really tasty. Have a wonderful week.
You too Janet!
Those printables are adorable! I am so glad people offer stuff like that because I am soooo not crafty. More like wanna be crafty.
I love the sound of those unstuffed shells. Yum!
Gosh printables have saved me on so many occasions. People always think I went way out but little do they know lol. I just couldn’t resist these ones 🙂
The unstuffed shells are a family favorite…so good!!!
Re: “wheat treat” — are you GF? Because if so I am sure these can be made with Bob’s GF or another GF flour. They look yummy, by the way.
I am GF but not because I’m celiac or anything. Just don’t like what it does to my body. I don’t really miss it all but my daughter made these for me and forgot that I couldn’t eat them. I ate them anyway because she’d gone to so much trouble. It was worth it 🙂
Saw your menu just as I was headed to the grocery store. You saved my family the same old boring menu. I added your Unstuffed Shells and Baked Tacos. Thanks!
Thanks so much for hosting! ?
Blessings,

Sick on Mother’s Day is no fun…. but I am glad that your family took care of you, and that you didn’t have to get out of bed all day!
Hi again, Laura! I hope it’s okay for me to give you the link for post two on my solo organizational challenge! We just got our crock pot replaced and I am looking forward to making some of your crock pot menu suggestions.
