Menu Plan Monday – April 16th
Okay so this week I’m back to the crockpot with two new recipes. The first one is a chicken recipe that Susanne posted not long ago that freaks me out a little because it contains 40 cloves of garlic! Yikes! I was sure that was a typo but she assures me it is not and that it is really very good so I’m giving it a shot! The other crockpot recipe is a new one as well but it sure looks easy which is why I’ve chosen it.
This week I also wanted to mention another new site that I found that is just starting up. I have not purchased from her but it does look like a great service so I thought I would pass it along to you. Ruth is a SAHM from Australia and has created Menu in a Box which offers 8 family friendly weekly menus along with 40 recipes and 8 corresponding shopping lists in PDF format all for $20.00 Australian.
I didn’t get a chance to get around to all your different menu plans last week with Monday being the holiday. Maybe I’ll have more time to visit today, I’m looking for some new recipes to bookmark!
Have a great week!!
Here’s what we’ll be eating:
Monday: Fajitas
Tuesday: Slow cooker 40 Clove Garlic Chicken served with mashed potatoes and broccoli
Wednesday: Slow cooker Tender Pork Roast served over rice with steamed carrots
Thursday: Leftover Buffet
Friday: Zucchini Sausage Pasta
I think I would have thought the 40 clove garlic chicken was a typo, too. I am curious to see how it turns out. Let us know!
Have a happy cooking week!
I’ve heard of that 40 clove garlic chicken, bet it’s good. We’ll look for a report!
Hi Laura,
I have wanted to try the 40 Clove Garlic Chicken for a while. Now you have reminded me I can put it on my menu next week.
This week we have 5 slow cooker recipes on the menu. It just makes everything easier!
Hope you have a great week.

The Turkey Sausage Pasta looks like a winner. Have you made that before? I’ll be posting my menu tomorrow, hopefully. Take care and thanks for hosting this.
Yum, garlic….the more the merrier! It sounds good to me!
Thanks for hosting 🙂
sounds like another great week ahead!
thanks for posting/hosting!
More slow cooker recipes – yum! This week I get to try one of those places where you pick the recipe and assemble it at the store then take it home to cook (for free, none the less)
Thanks again for hosting MPM! I can’t wait to check out everyone’s menus! Oh and if you’re searching for new recipes, I posted my FAVORITE recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup! I tell everyone they should try it!
*sigh* I so want to do this but our grocery day in on Tuesday (since Da Hubby gets paid on Wednesdays) so my fridge generally looks like Old Mother Hubbard’s cupboards on a Monday! *wink*
Maybe I could post on a Tuesday and link back to your Monday post! LOL
Good morning!I have not had the 40 Clove Chicken but I hear it get’s good reviews. I am taking some recipes from the Aldi Queen this week.
Thanks for hosting MPM!

Your menu looks really good! Have a great day!
I make the 40 garlic glove chicken in the oven (all cloves go in the chicken) and it’s very good. I can’t wait to try it in the crock pot. Sounds easy and yummy!
I Might use that garlic chicken recipe on Sunday.
The 40 cloves of garlic chicken is YUMMY! The garlic gets a sweet taste to it. Though I’ve never tried it in the crockpot. For some reason, I’m not crazy how chicken turns out being cooked in the crockpot. But the garlic is a GOOD thing!!!!
i’ve not got much in the way of recipes this week as my focus is simplicity since i’ve got a lot on the schedule! thanks, as always, for hosting! have a good week!
it’s funny coz i just read a mag from Rachael Ray and there’s an article when the 40cloves garlic chicken was mentioned, it was a disaster for one lady and I was so intrigued abt that recipe, so thanks for providing that! Great menu plan…yummy recipes!!!
Love garlic here, also. And SO good for you!
Have a great week, all!
Hi Laura,
Thanks for hosting!
We’re in the midst of a big winter storm here, and the power keeps going off, so who knows if I’ll actually be cooking tonight or not…
Have a great week!
Hi Laura,
I am planning to try the 40 cloves chicken very soon. I printed the recipe out and have it in my recipe binder. It sounds SO good to me!
Thanks for hosting Menu Plan Monday. I enjoy participating.
Have a great week!

Stop on over at relevantblog.blogspot.com to get a secret (shhh!) salmon sauce recipe as well as a moroccan chicken recipe. Thanks for the chance to share!
That’s a lot of garlic. YUM!!!
I enjoy garlic, but 40 cloves? Can’t wait to hear how this one turns out. 🙂
That garlic chicken will be really good for anyone who has been suffering with a cold. Let us know how you like it!
My menu is posted in the sidebar of my blog! Thanks for your encouragement!

Can’t wait to hear your review of the 40 clove garlic chicken. Thanks for hosting Menu Plan Monday!
Did someone say Moroccan chicken? Oh yummmmmmmm!
I’ve got to go see that.
This is my first time posting my menus.
I can’t wait to hear about the 40 clove chicken. I don’t know if I could work up the nerve to use that many!
If you like that chicken recipe you should try ,my mil’s 1/4 cup garlic powder terriaki chicken. Of course that was a mistake we all laughed about for days as the garlic left our systems. 🙂
Hey, the more garlic the better in my book! 😀
