Menu Plan Monday – April 23rd
Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to another Menu Plan Monday ladies! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is ready for a brand new week. My daughter came 2nd in a piano festival today, so that was pretty exciting for us. She has another one scheduled for Wednesday. As always, I was way more nervous than she was 🙂
Again I’m trying some new recipes this week. For someone who isn’t a very good cook, I do love trying new recipes. I love change what can I say! Last week we had two winners with the 40 Clove Garlic Chicken and the Zucchini Sausage Pasta. I’ll definitely make these again.
Here’s whats on our menu for this week:
Monday: Steak fajitas (new for us since usually we use ground beef)
Tuesday: Foil Packed Taco Chicken Dinner
Wednesday: Cheesy Beef and Veggie Pasta
Thursday: Leftover Buffet
WHAT ARE YOU EATING FOR DINNER THIS WEEK?
*Important – Please link to your individual MPM post instead of your home page. Here is how you link to an individual post if you’ve never done it before: right click on the time at the bottom of the post you want to link to, click “copy shortcut” and then paste it into Mr. Linky. Welcome to all new participants. Please let us know you are new to MPM (so we can be sure to visit and welcome you) by putting “I’m new” or “First one” in brackets after your name in Mr. Linky.
Congrats to your daughter! I hope the Wednesday festival goes well, too. It is funny how we as parents get more nervous for our kids than we do!
Have a great week!
Congratulations to your daughter!
As always, thanks for hosting!
I’m HUGE into roasted veggies since I’ve been doing Weight Watchers. I love the flavors and usually will substitute meat by adding more veggies.
A new trick I learned is to roast the veggies ON the bread and then the juices seep into the bread. So yummy! Thanks for sharing with us.
HI Laura,
Your menu looks yummy!
Congrats to your daughter. I’m sure that was very exciting.
I have the 40 Clove Garlic Chicken on my menu this week – I can’t wait to try it.
Have a great week.
Hope your pictures turn out 🙂

not sure if its just on my computer but wanted to give you a heads up that Mr. Linky is gone. 😀
Mr. Linky was up but has now disappeared. Hopefully it will be back up soon. Sorry about that.

Hi Laura
Congrats to your daughter. Just last night, I was reading a magazine and the article was about what parents go through when their kids have to perform onstage. I must remember to scan it in and email to you! Just PRAY for Wed!
Mine is up – short one because we’re off to celebrate our anniversary!

As usual you have a great menu, wish I lived close by LOL
I’m trying to visit all the blogs but just when I get done with the whole thing there’s tons more to see…..I’m never going to get through this LOL
I posted a recipe for sweet and sour crock pot pork chops.
I have to dash to work but am looking forward to browsing some sites this evening. I will also post one of my recipes then also.
Congratulations for your daughter’s recital!! It is so hard to just let them get up and do things. And then they do good and it is wonderful.
Glad the Garlic Chicken recipe turned well. That is going to be done at my house.
Blessings.
My menu is up!
Thanks for hosting, Laura. Have a great week!
Hey Laura! My menu is up as well as today’s recipe. It’s good to be back into the groove of things. We just got our internet set up yesterday!!! We’re now out in beautiful CA. I’ll be by later to catch up on everything that been going on for the past 2 weeks. Yikes!!!
Have an awesome week!

Congratulations to your daughter!!! And I LOVE the menu plans : )!!!
Your Tuesday dinner sounds amazing, and I think I’ll try it this week. Unfortunately, I’m not organized enough to make a menu for the week, so I’m not linking to mine. 😉 Oh well, we still eat healthy food, even if it isn’t planned in advance!
gosh! how come I can’t come up with a great menu like yours???
Whee! Look at all the participants!
Maggie
Week 5 Yeah! I am so happy I started this.
Glad you’re trying that Grilled Veggie Sandwich recipe that I posted for my Favorite Ingredients Friday- Vegetarian Edition recipe exchange last Friday. It’s really good! I hope you like it. 🙂
