Menu Plan Monday – July 9th
Updated: I’ve had to delete a few people and then add them again at the end of Mr. Linky because some of the links were too long causing Mr. Linky to push out into my sidebar. Please try to keep what you enter into Mr. Linky to no more than three words. Thanks so much!!
Hello everyone! Just for fun, I’ve resurrected and played with the old old banner (Marcia told me it was still her favorite). Use whichever one you enjoy the best. Last week I posted about how I menu plan. If you missed it and/or to see all three of the MPM banner options, please go here.
I’m so happy that so many of you are joining me here each week to share your menu and of course your recipes!! Two of my recipes this week come from other MPM participants and I’m excited to try them out.
Monday: Potluck at a friends….I’m making Strawberry-Orange Pasta Salad
Tuesday: Hubbie’s birthday! Amazing Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker ~ a recipe I found at Karen’s last week.
Plus I’ll be making Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert!!
Wednesday: Sweet & Sour Pork Chops ~ which Carmen reminded me of
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Fresh Grilled Summer Pizza ~ I’ll be making the pesto version

I can’t believe I am the FIRST!! That cheesecake sounds divine ~ my kind of dessert 🙂
Sounds like a yummy week! Tonya
The Strawberry Orange Pasta Salad sounds wonderful!
you know that if you put a dessert on the menu, I see nothing else. I definitely have to make the cheesecake. If it were up to me, we’d have dessert for dinner. Excellent meal plan!! That pasta salad sound good also (with the cheesecake :)) Have a great week.
Your menu looks great. I’m going to check out the sweet and sour pork chops and the grilled pizza!
We’re trying some lighter dinner fare this week to beat the heat!

We’re trying some lighter dinner fare this week to beat the heat, and trying to cook as much as we can and cool as we can.
(pardon the double comment, blogger hiccupped and posted my comment before I was done!)

It all looks so yummy- and I took the Sweet n sour porkchops to try out this week…can’t wait. Have a great week!
Hi Laura
🙂 – yes, that banner is my favourite. I think because that’s how the kitchen looks while I’m “creating” 🙂
Have you tried Sandra’s pizza yet? It is EASY, quick and delicious. I don’t think I’ll do another one in a hurry. It’s on her food blog, very nicely organised and easy to find in the sidebar.
Have a great day! Yes, we must chat. I don’t even know where you are to check out the time on http://www.timeanddate.com so we can chat???
Hi, I am nadine from Maltadailyphoto , just found this blog and I like it alot!! I sure need someone like you to get me started on my organizing skills!! I might join the monday weekly menu (depends if i plan!) Glad I found this blog
Lots of July birthdays! Your week sounds wonderful. I am going to try a foil packet recipe this week – hopefully the crew likes it.
Yum-O! The chocolate-dipped strawberry cheesecake sounds really, really good!
Have a great Monday!
The cheesecake and fruit pizza that you’ll be making this week sound so yummy!
My menu plan is up…with Weight Watcher points listed as well.
Have a great week ladies! 🙂
Mine isn’t up yet, and it’s lunchtime here already!
The Strawberry -Orange salad looks particular tasty to me! Thanks for sharing!
The grilled pizza sound delicious!!
That pork tenderloin sounds delish AND it is on sale at No Frills this week! Yeah 🙂
Yum…that cheesecake sounds *way* too good…I’m going to have to try it soon!
Oh, I can’t wait to try that summer pizza…it sounds so yummy and just perfect for a hot summer day!
Your menu looks delicious. I’d like to live at your house this week, lol. 🙂
Laura, I’m LOL here. You posted Sweet and Sour Pork from someone’s blog. I clicked it and she had it attributed to you. So I clicked that. It took me to your post on May 24th for Slow Cooking Thursday and it was from a Taste of Home magazine.
Just snickering. You amaze me at how many recipes you are always doing. Do your kids really eat them? My 8yo would but my almost 6 and 2 yo’s would not touch most of them.
From a lurker who really enjoys your blog.
Hey Laura, I think I’m making progress on the menu-planning. Thanks for the encouragement last week!
I’m a newbie – hi all! i’ve been silently admiring for a few weeks… hoping for the day that my menu plan, too, would be complete on Monday. And today is the day! i feel like i’ve reached a new level of domestic goddess-ness. thanks for the inspiration!

Great sounding week!! That cheesecake looks scrumptious!!

Laura, thanks for all your work with this. I’m going to try both the pizza and the pork tenderloin this week. Big LOVES pork tenderloin, and I’m never sure how to add variety with that dish. Have a great week. xxxooogretchen
