Hello! Hope everyone had a nice weekend 🙂
Did you get a chance to check out all the delicious appetizer recipes? Oh my was it hard to choose just one recipe for my potluck but I did AND I was not disappointed either. This recipe combined cheese, roasted garlic and bread, a combination that got my mouth watering just thinking about it. The winning entry is #32 – Lori of Not The Mother of The Year for her Roasted Garlic Brie in Bread recipe!!! Boy how I wish I had a picture to share with you all but we actually didn’t get around to eating it until about 1:00 in the morning and then we absolutely devoured it in about 10 seconds flat. It went over really really well 🙂 Thanks Lori for making me shine!
So next on my list of exciting things to tell you is the recipe highlight of last week. My entire family LOVED the Ham-Noodle Bake. It was easy to prepare and it had a nice little kick to it due to the added horseradish.
How about you? Any recipe highlights from last week?
Here is what is on our menu this week:
Monday: Company for dinner ~ Baked Teriyaki Chicken (family favorite) served with Special Twice-Baked Potatoes (ff)
Tuesday: Apple Cinnamon Pork Tenderloin (new) served with rice and broccoli
Wednesday: Black Bean Quesadillas
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Spaghetti
Saturday: Oven Chicken Fingers (new) and french fries
Simple Supper Sunday
WHAT’S ON YOUR MENU THIS WEEK?
Menu Plan Monday guidelines and banner selections are here.

I have a pot of black beans soaking tonight. I will have more than I need for my recipe, so I think I might try the quesadillas, yum!

Rita says
Your quesadillas sound very good. I’m loving black beans – been cooking them from dried and found they were so much cheaper but just as good that way.
CaseyDeuce says
Everything sounds delish, once again!! To answer your question about recipe highlights, I went off track last week with one recipe and subbed in the butternut squash ravioli that is on this week’s menu again- ridiculously delicious, and the crockpot beef stew recipe that I did last week was a big hit in our house!!
Kayren says
I have to be honest, I’ve never done chicken fingers in the oven except for store-bought. I fry my chicken fingers and they are so good I’ve never tried anything else. All that said, these oven baked chicken fingers look pretty good and easy. I actually bookmarked them to try, which means I probably will. I’d be curious to know what you think of them (new recipe or tried-and-true).
Rachel says
That baked teriyaki chicken looks really good! I am going to have to try that some time.
Laura says
Kayren, the Oven Baked Chicken is a new recipe for me so I’ll keep you posted on the results 🙂
Frugal Friend says
Same here, I’ve always pan-fried homemade chicken fingers. So I’ll try that baked recipe too.
For highlights last week, I think it was stirfry noodles. I used Kraft Asian Sesame Dressing to season it since I ran out of soy sauce. But it turned out really well!
Alison says
The apple cinnamon pork tenderloin sounds wonderful! I made a pork tenderloin last night. For lack of a better idea, I just poured some applesauce over it and let it bake. although it was good, I wish I found this recipe first! Next time! Thanks for sharing!
Christine says
I have been looking for a pork tenderloin recipe – I think I may have to try that one!
Alea says
The Black Bean Quesadillas sound great!
The highlight of last week was Swiss Steak. I hadn’t made it for a while, so everyone was delighted to see it on the table. Several of us met up in the kitchen the next day to try to sneak the leftovers for lunch before anyone else go to them. Fortunately, there was enough for everyone.
Andi says
I love black bean quesadillas! The best recipe at my house was salsa cheddar chicken with corn fritters (it’s actually on this week’s menu but my menu starts on Saturday so we had it last night). My hubby was home late so he was eating on his own and I kept hearing “mmmm, oh this is so good, yum!” coming from the kitchen!
Steph @ Problem Solvin Mom says
That appetizer sounds fabulous, I’ll definitely have to bookmark it for the upcoming holiday festivities! Sounds like a yummy week at your house, thanks as usual for all the links 🙂
Susie's Homemade says
I had a Coq Au Vin-guine last week that was REALLY good:-)
Dawn says
I’m curious to hear how the pork tenderloin turns out. The terriyaki baked chicken and the twice baked potatoes look very yummy. I’m trying to Ham and Noodle bake at my house this week as well as some warm hearty comfort food that will make leftovers for DH’s lunchbox.
angie says
your apple pork tenderlion sounds great I made apple porkchops yesterday and it was great as expected
kat says
Oh that pork sounds so good!
Karin says
This is my first MPM with my new blog, Start In The Middle. I’m looking forward to participating.
Pork tenderloin is on our menu this week, too, and I’m now considering using the Apple Cinnamon Pork Tenderloin recipe instead of my own. I’m pretty sure my kids would go gaga over it!
Rona says
Looks like you have a yummy week planned.
Have a great Halloween or Harvest Festival!
Cara says
I’m very curious about the Apple Cinnamon Pork Tenderloin! I cooked an apple pork dish recently that didn’t live up to my expectations, and I’m looking for a new recipe. Can’t wait to hear how it turns out!
Melanie says
I’ve never tried chicken fingers in the oven – sounds tasty!
Greta says
That pork tenderloin looks really good and not to complicated…I’d like to try it! Thanks 🙂
Aiming4Simple says
That cranberry orange sauce for the oven chicken fingers sounds delicious. I might just need to make the sauce this week for dipping our chicken kebabs.
Mary says
Your menu sounds yummy! One of our highlights from last week’s menu was the Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie from the Fall 2009 Kraft Food & Family magazine. It was super easy to make and delicious. Even DS#2 who stated (with that 15 yr. old attitude), and I quote “Man…I don’t like chicken pot pie. Why are you making this crap. I’m eating cereal.” gobbled this up and came back for seconds.
Nancy says
What is it about Fall and pork tenderloin? YUM! And I haven’t made oven-baked chicken fingers in a long time… definitely another to add to my list soon.
jsprik@blog-diggidy says
wow, this is a great menu….can you let me know about the chicken fingers, too?? thnx!! the pork tenderloin sounds yummy, too!! 🙂
Becky L says

Tamara says
I am back after miss last week as my son was sick in hospital. I have to say I really missed my menu plan last week. It helped me feel on top of everything. Thank goodness I am back on track this week. Thank you for the inspiration.
Lora says
Thank you for starting Menu Planning Mondays. Participating helps keep me organized, saves me money and gives me meal ideas by reading everyone’s Menus! Thanks again ;o)
Jessica says
Thanks for this. It helps with ideas and recipes!
Liz says
This is my first time to join in on MPM! I did a post this week on my blog about menu planning and linked to your MPM and your bog. Thanks for doing this; I love menu planning!
Liz says
That should be “blog” above, NOT “bog”! LOL!
LoriD says
I’m so glad you liked the recipe. I actually made it this past weekend too. I may put your black bean quesadillas on my menu next week – they look like something my family would love!
Ginger says
I’m here at MPM! I linked back to your blog. I’m excited to start menu planning! Thanks so much for putting this together for all of us.
