Menu Plan Monday ~ April 12th
Hello everyone! Wow did that week ever go fast. The last of my company left on Saturday and I’ve slowly been getting myself organized again. My email is absolutely insane though and I’m almost even too scared to tackle it. Oh well, slow and steady wins the race is what I always say!
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of being interviewed by the lovely ladies over at Meal Makeover Moms. I really love this site and highly recommend it for yummy healthy recipes! We talked everything menu planning and just in case you are interested I wanted to pass along the link to you. Listen here: Menu Planning 101 with the Organizing Junkie and you can find their delicious recipe for Teriyaki Salmon in Foil and more helpful tips here. Enjoy!
Last week’s recipe highlight goes to the Taco Pasta! An excellent potluck meal or if you are looking for a meal to take to a family in need. Simple ingredients, quick to throw together and it tasted nummy 🙂
So here’s what’s on our plan for this week. All new recipes again, I’m so excited!
Monday: Garlic and Lime Chicken served with french fries
Tuesday: Veggie Tortellini Bake
Wednesday: Corny Salmon Cakes served with spinach salad
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Sassy Potato Corn Chowder served with bread machine Honey Oatmeal Bread
Saturday: Spring Shrimp Pasta
Sunday: Church Potluck ~ Sweet and Tangy Meatballs
Don’t miss out on your chance to win a set of eight Clearly Organized Bags!

Thanks for the linky!
Thanks for sharing. I love your site!
Thanks Sheena!
I’m a sucker for anything with garlic, so I got excited when I saw your garlic and lime chicken on the menu – I’ll have to try this one!
Oh I really love garlic too!!
Thanks for doing this.
Those corny salmon cakes sound intriguing. I’m excited that we’re getting closer to corn season.
I may have led duplicate links. Sorry. Too much multi-tasking and I didn’t catch that it can take a minute to show up. 🙁
I am so glad that you enjoyed the taco pasta! My kids love it and I am glad to hear that others agree. And I need to tackle my email too this week. As soon as I start to get caught up on email, I get more. 🙂
I know, isn’t that the truth LOL
Yum! The Shrimp Pasta and Lime Chicken sound divine! Thanks so much for hosting!

Oh my word, those corny salmon cakes look delicious! Hoping my family will be up to trying those soon! I love salmon and am always looking for new recipes.
Thanks!
Toni
The garlic and lime chicken sounds especially good! And as always, thanks for hosting MPM!
I added the taco pasta to my menu this week! I can’t wait to try it!
What great timing! I was eyeing some salmon cakes at Costco yesterday.. but they were so expensive. I’m going to save that salmon cakes recipe for later. Thanks so much!
So glad to hear you liked Lynn’s Taco Pasta–it’s on my menu plan for next week. 🙂
Lime chicken is a favorite at our house. Thank for the linky. I always look forward to MPM!
Gotta try that Lime Garlic Chicken!!!!!!!!!
I love having a whole week of all NEW recipes. It really does keep things interesting.
Good Luck and enjoy!!
That lime chicken sounds fabulous!
waw..it looks delicious. Many thanks!
Laura
Those salmon cakes with corn look great. We love salmon cakes and I just saw a recipe on the Food Network with Giada and she had corn in hers. I also saw an idea in Cooking Light for gf breadings using Potato Buds(which now are labeled gluten free on the front of the package). I’m thinking salmon cakes coated in Potato Buds would be pretty yummy.

I’m so happy to have found your site!
I’m happy you found it too 🙂
Laura, you were an awesome guest on Cooking with the Moms. You inspire us all to menu plan and get more organized! Glad you’re enjoying our recipes too!!
Love your recipes, thanks for such a great resource!
Great Site!
mmmmm…i am so trying that garlic and lime chicken!! 🙂 thnx!!
Yummy!!!
Thank you for Hosting Menu Plan Monday. I had never menu planned before I found your meme and now do it every week. I started my blog on June 12, 2009 and my first week to menu plan was the June 22- 28. I had planned the night before what we would eat the next day but planning weekly has worked better for me. I follow the pantry principle so planning the night before wasn’t too hard either.
Menu planning has been such a lifesaver for me that I just want to share my message with everyone 🙂 So glad it has helped you!
I love your website!!!
I check it out every Monday morning to see what everyone else is cooking…..great site 🙂
Thanks Chris!
My first meal plan ever! So excited to share it.
We are excited to have you 🙂
Thanks!!!
I’m so excited to be participating this week! We’ll be trying the taco pasta in the next couple of weeks. Thanks!
It was really yummy!!
I am so happy to finally be a part of this! I hope I did it right, I’m still trying to figure everything out!
Welcome Tina!
The meatball recipe looks great! We are expecting company on Friday night and I haven’t finalized our menu. Last night I was searching for a meatball recipe- I think the one you linked will fit the bill. Thank you!
Oh that’s awesome!!
OH that Garlic/Lime Chicken sounds delicious!
mmm…that garlic lime chicken sounds delish! I’m always searching for new ways to spice up chicken, so I am going to look at that right now.
This is my first week trying MPM out! Thanks!
Welcome!
This week’s menu sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing with us! 😀
The tortellini bake sounds amazing!!!
BTW I posted the wrong link to my meal plan(The Lonely Baker #237)I couldn’t figure out how to remove it. Sorry!!!
Amber
No worries, I deleted it for you 🙂
The tortellini bake sounds great, thanks for linking that! I will be trying that next week! Hope your daughter’s birthday went well! Have a great time with your family, and again thanks for providing the link!
Blessings,
Lisa
The birthday was fantastic!! Oh my goodness the girls are still talking about it 🙂
My children love the honey oatmeal bread! If you have leftovers it makes great frenchtoast!
Thanks so much for hosting this! I just posted my meal plan! 🙂
Tasty looking recipes as usual! Thanks for hosting MPM 🙂
Great menu. The sweet and tangy meatballs sound awesome.
I added link up to my weekly dinner menu for the first time today. I didn’t know you have one going. Come over and link up to mine if you like.

Hi! It’s my first time! I’m all excited about all your meal plans. Thanks so much for sharing, Everybody, and for orchestrating, Laura. I just added my plan. (It’s vegan.)
Ohh Yummy! We are trying some new recipes this week too! N is a little hesitate but I LOVE trying new things. Actually my asparagus stuffed chicken in the oven as we speak!
So happy to have found this site! I’ve been menu planning for a couple of years but I’m always looking for new ideas!
Love seeing all the menus! I posted mine tonight for the first time and then saw this on a friends’ site. 🙂
I’m loving your site! I’m just curious, is there a way to edit my entry? I accidentally forgot to change the title on the McKlinky from an entry I made on another site (the link is correct). If not, no big deal.
I can’t wait to try fried polenta this week. 🙂 I hope it is as good as I have imagined it to be.
We have salmon cakes (patties) two or three times a month. I’ll have to try putting corn in them. That sounds good.
Laura,
So glad you’re trying the Garlic & Lime Chicken! I know you’ll love it! Thanks for linking:)
P.S. We are also having salmon patties this week and I love the idea of adding corn~think I’m going to try that! Glad you *suggested* it!
This is such a great resource and I’m so glad I stumbled upon it.
Love you menu this week. Hope you have a great week.
The salmon cakes looks like something I’d love to adapt for my son’s allergies. Thanks for the Makover Mom link!
Thank you so much for hosting this every week I get so many ideas from it that it makes me actually want to spend a little bit of time in my kitchen!!
🙂
Hey Laura –
Thanks for linking up our meal plans, @ScatteredMom does a great job every week!
Cheers –
Michelle
Your site is such an inspiration. I really helps motivate me to take that extra bit of time each week to plan a menu plan. I have always been glad I did!
I linked but accidently used the wrong name!! no slow cooker chicken taco soup on my menu plan – sorry!
Very late submission, but here I am again, and happy to be MPM-ing!
Just wanted to share with you that I made a Pretty Floral Menu Planner form posted on my blog that anyone is welcome to download and use. I like my things to be pretty & floral if I can help it. :o)
Thanks again Laura! MPM is helping my home SOOO much!
Thank you! Great tips!
