Menu Plan Monday – March 26th
Hello my friends! I just realized I’m a bit later posting tonight but we just got back from our little road trip today and well I had some very important business to do before all else…three taped Regis and Kelly shows that I had just had to watch! How’s that for priorities…lol. So I got out of town for a couple of days which was awesome, nothing lifts the spirits like a little shopping especially getting to Costco and buying my favorite Santana jeans! Always a highlight….I’m a small town girl, doesn’t take much to impress me…he he.
Okay so on to the reason you are here and I’m so glad you are. Thank you to each one of you for participating each week. If you are new, welcome….don’t forget to let us know you are new by putting “new” or “1st time” in brackets after your name on Mr. Linky.
Here is my menu for the week. I’m pulling out the crock pot again. Unlike so many of you we aren’t experiencing spring yet which means it’s not grilling time quite yet for us. I’m so jealous of all you that are breaking out the grilling recipes already 🙁
Monday: Fajitas
Tuesday: Slow Cooker Pineapple Pork Roast
Wednesday: Foil Pack Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Dinner (soooo good!)
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Slow Cooked Chili
Just gonna let you know Mr. Linky’s not up 😀
Looks like you have a great week planned! Enjoy!
Nix that last one! LOL That all sounds great, I must start saving some of these crockpot recipes to use…I love mine but don’t use it often.
I did that foil pack chicken & mushroom dinner a month or so ago and it is really good!
Hopefully you had a fabulous trip.
Your menu sounds great … and you are not along on the no grilling option. Living in the rainy Pacific Northwest makes it hard to BBQ.
mmm, foil packet meals always look so tempting. Makes me think of camping, and throwing meat and potato and salt and pepper in a packet on the coals – somehow nothing tastes better than campfire food!

Wow, I can’t believe how big this has gotten! I’m just getting back into the swing of menu planning after having a baby, and I think there’s triple the number of people participating 🙂
Thanks again for starting this!
Ditto to what Christy said. I’ve got to focus more on getting to other participants menu plans for fresh ideas too.
Bon apetit,
Penny
we’re not grilling here in Vancouver 🙁 not alone..have a great week.
not to rub it in – but we had a big extended family bbq at my sister’s house today. it was great fun. (sorry, i just couldn’t resist!) :o)
glad to hear you had a nice trip, and glad to know you’re back home safe!
have a great week!
Hi Laura
Good to know you’re back and that you had a great time!
I am very excited that I FINALLY got your blog to accept on my Google reader – I posted how I did it.
Last week I decided that I must try one new recipe every week so this weekend I’ll bake some new muffins or something like that.
I’m still dieting and Hubby will eat anything I put in front of him! My menu planner is for the children…
Have a great week Laura

Pineapple Pork Roast—YUM!
Thanks, Laura!
Ditto terri @ in his hands who said “Pineapple Pork Roast—YUM!” The recipe looks easy and it sounds delish!!!
Sounds like you had a nice trip! Hope it was also restful!
Have a blessed week!
looks like a yummy week ahead!
Glad you are back after a week of fun.
Welcome back! I am fortiunate Dh will grill year round! In rain and snow. He is grilling burgers tonight!
The chicken is lovely! I basically like anything with mushrooms, and this sounds delicious. Have a lovely week.
N.B. And yes, there is only so much that can give us a lift!
What yummy recipes you put up! I’ve been out, but I’m back. I’m participating so I’m excited to be getting back in the swing of things.
Hope your trip was a blast!

Thanks, Laura. Have a great week settling back into the routine!
~Blessings,
I think I’ll just have to try that chili!!!
Boy, I had to change my list about 20 times, and I’m not sure I won’t have to do it again!
Busy week here with meetings at the college about dual enrollment and everyday stuff like Civil Air Patrol, AWANA, homeschool Co-op, etc, etc…
May have to replace some of my meals with frozen lasagnas I made last week.
What do you mean, it’s not warm enough to grill?! My husband and I even grill in the winter, in CT! haha. Sure CAN’T WAIT for spring weather though! Have a great week!
My dad grills during a Minnesota winter! I am glad you had a nice trip and I hope you are feeling refreshed.

We actually turned on our air conditioning yesterday. 🙂
Have a wonderful week!
Your whole menu sounds simply scrumptious! Wish I could get my husband to try that Pineapple Pork Roast…sounds heavenly to me!
Thanks so much for hosting this! Been reading for a while, but never actually joined in until today.
Happy cooking…and happy eating!
Woot, I’m #50. Sorry, got all excited for a second. I want to be invited over for fajitas! Yummy. I’ll bring the fresh tortillas.
Thanks for hosting this — why I didn’t plan menus years ago is beyond me!!
Welcome back!
And we’re not grilling yet…. we have to find a place that’s stocking the gas for our grill! FINALLY the snow is off the deck.
Thanks, Laura. My menu’s up…
Yum, everything sounds great. We keep going back and forth from cold to warm around here…
Thanks again for hosting! I can’t believe how many are participating in this. It’s my week to really pay attention, as I’ll be planning for the next month 🙂
So glad you had such a fun road trip! Great menu for the week!
I LOVE foil packet dinners. They make everything so yummy. Thanks for sharing your menu.
I’m back! Haven’t been here for several weeks, but I’ve still been planning all along.
Look like a great menu! As always, thank you for hosting MPM!
Oh my word. I’m number 77. Clearly I need to get on this on Sunday already. Good to see so many joining in.
So glad you guys had a good trip, and even better that you’re back home safe and sound. 🙂 Your menu sounds yummy, as always. That pork roast sounds delicious. And hey, we’re going out on a limb and having fajitas also, this week!
Have a wonderful week, Laura, and thanks so much for always hosting this for us!
Oops—forgot to put that this is my 1st time with Menu Plan Monday! 🙂
Thanks! I’m really looking forward to this!
Have a GREAT week!
Sounds like you had fun!!! I am envious! Your menu looks yummy!! Have a great week.
Your Pineapple Pork Roast sounds to die for……how wonderful…have you ever taken fresh pineapple in the summer and slice it….brush melted butter and brown suger on it….grill. Its to die for too. Have a great Monday girl…I’m finally back.
I bought myself a HEE-YOOO-GGE new crockpot for my birthday (today) and will be using it. Thanks for another great recipe to try!
Hi Laura,
I’m glad you enjoyed your little trip and how fun, new jeans.
This Monday Menu thing is becoming quite the weekly event!
And I so agree with your previous post. I’m proud of my niece (Sarah) for stepping up and saying something about nasty commenters. Who needs it!
I’m back!! Got my menu up for this week. Hope you had a great time on your trip. Be blessed!
Thanks for hosting — little late today for me, but whatever works!! Looking forward to the organizational challenge!
this is a wonderful idea! enjoy your menu this week….looks good. 🙂
I’m a bit late posting too! 😉 Have a great week Laura!
The menu looks yummy this week! I love doing this, it’s so much fun!
I love the crockpot!
Laura, your menu looks great as usual. I am so thrilled for that this has gotten so huge! I missed you being online the last few days.
Have a super week!
Whew! I am SO late. No one will probably view my menu! Glad you had a good trip!
I just found you today and I was so inspired I joined right in. 🙂 Can’t wait to see if I stick to it.
I’m glad I found you. Look forward to growing in some organizational skills. The meals look great…Thanks. Blessings.
So glad I finally decided to play along. Wow – I can’t believe how many do this – I’ll never get to all those blogs!! But what yummy recipes I’ve found so far!!
That foil pack chicken sounds so good! Minus the mushrooms of course : )
Your menu sounds great! I’m a day behind so I need to get crackin’.
This is a great idea! Thanks for letting me participate. FTR, my DH is our resident griller and he won’t grill in the winter either.
Thanks for hosting this. It has been fun to be an observer, and now a participant!
This week I have “The Wendie Plan” – low carb style.
