Menu Plan Monday – August 27th
After 15 hours of travel we finally made it home today about a half hour ago from our month long holiday….it feels like I’ve been gone forever! Last week I almost cancelled Menu Plan Monday for this week knowing we would be travelling all day and I’d be pretty pooped but then I realized that my family still needs to eat this week so I’d better get back into my routine pretty quick 🙂 So while wasting 5 hours in the airport today between connections I planned my menu on the back of an envelope I found in my purse.
Welcome to all the new participants that have joined us over the last month. I apologize for not getting around to personally welcoming each and every one of you. I’m happy you are here…I’m happy you are all here! Those of you that have sent emails please know that I’ll get to them soon!
So this week we’re having:
Monday: Fajitas (I missed these so much!)
Tuesday: Thai Chicken Fettucini
Wednesday: Slow Cooked Pork Loin (Light & Tasty Sept 2007 Pg 59)
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Dilled Stroganoff (Light & Tasty Sept 2007 Pg 49)
yum!! I love the Thai meal you chose. Thanks for another great week of hosting, Laura.
Glad you got home safely! LOL- I’ve written a list on many-an-envelope… only I usually end up losing them! Thanks again for hosting this- I look forward to it every week! 🙂
Glad you made it home safely. Love the menu plan on the back of an envelope. Sounds like me.
Hope you have a great week.
Rest up!

Yummy! We haven’t done fajitas in a while either, will have to do these next week!
Your menu looks delicious. I am impressed that you still did Menu Plan Monday!
Mine is up!!
Mine is up for the week! Happy Monday!
Hi Laura
Welcome home!
Please let us know next week how the Thai Chicken Fettucine turns out. I usually don’t like a mix of two distinct flavours so I’m interested in what you thought.
BTW, I sent the book to you last week so look out 😉

Welcome back! The kids go back to school today so MPM becomes even more important. Have a great week.
Welcome back! Have a great week!
Holy cow that is some dedication to meal planning! Good for you, thank you for hosting ‘no matter what’. Welcome home and enjoy the week of tastiness you have planned. Love the looks of that Thai Chicken Fettuchini.
Have a great week.
We’re having fajitas this week too! Your menu sounds great!
Welcome home! Glad you had a safe and happy trip. You are one dedicated meal planner, aren’t you? Really leaves me no excuse 🙂
Welcome home, you’re my kind of girl … making your menu on the back of an envelope :o).
Thanks for hosting mpm.

Welcome home! Glad you’re back safe & sound. Your menu looks great. That Thai Fettucine sounds great. 🙂 Hope the week goes well as you adjust back from vacation.
Welcome back! The Thai sounds delicious!!
Welcome Back! Looking forward to reading everyone’s menus this week. Yours looks fab!
Welcome home! Hope you had a blast, thanks for hosting us each week!
Fajitas, yum.
When I travel for a long time, I miss some of my own favorite recipes, too. Funny, huh? You’d think that I would like to sit back and eat whatever people prepare. I think I’m just a little bit of a control freak (but unfortunately NOT a neat freak!).
just found this fun way to keep up on weekly meals! Thank you!
Welcome home! As much fun as you all had, I’ll bet it feels good to be home!
Welcome Back! Loved all your projects and tackles while you were at your brother’s. It was quite inspiring.
Welcome back! You did so well to continue hosting this even on vacation.. thanks!
Welcome home!! I love traveling, but I think I love coming home just as much! Have a great week!!
mmm, fajitas! Glad you’re home safely!

Welcome home!! : ) Your menu looks yummy!!
Looks delicious!
So glad to be back. Vacations are great but hard on the waistline. 🙂
Yummy menu! Ours is pretty simple this week as it’s our first week of settling into a school schedule.
The chicken sounds wonderful!
I haven’t been able to participate for awhile – it’s nice to get back on the horse! thanks for hosting!
peace of Christ to you,

Hi! Thanks for hosting this, I found you through Sharon and I love this idea, cant wait to get ideas for meals from other mom’s menus!
Hi Laura,
I’m back…I took a few weeks off due to the fact that I had my baby 4 weeks early!
This is the first week of planning since she has been born. She will be 3 weeks tomorrow!
Blessings!
Heather
Thanks again for hosting. I’ve been a traveling fool this month, too! Lots of in the car planning! But not lot’s of computer blogging time.
I love trips with the family, but getting back to routine is nice in it’s own way also. I hope you have a relaxing week. Your menu sounds delicious!
I’m glad you made it home safely.
I did it! First time and I did all on my own! Thanks Laura!!!
I have been doing menu planning off and on for a few years, and after a few months off, I’m back to trying to do menu plans. I had remembered seeing “Menu Plan Monday” on someone’s blog awhile back, and decided I might as well join in since I’m doing menu planning anyway! lol So, here I am. I’m new to MPM, and posted one, even though Monday is almost over now!
I haven’t been doing this all summer but it is time to get back into the groove. I love looking at all the great ideas. Thanks for hosting this.
YAY you’re home mom made the thai pasta dish tonight and it was AMAZING so good. Talk to you soon I’m sure.
