Menu Plan Monday ~ Feb 21st
Happy Monday everyone! What’s new in your neck of the woods? Did you have a nice weekend? Today is Family Day…a stat holiday for us here in Alberta! It’s my first one as BC, along with some of the other provinces, don’t celebrate Family Day. Bah humbug on them. I’m even going to be wild and crazy today and leave my grocery shopping for tomorrow, can you believe that! 🙂
I was excited to package up the 44 copies of my book that will be shipped out this week to the Say Mmm Giveaway winners. Thanks to everyone who participated in trying out this new printable grocery list feature, it was fun!
Also the winner of the No Whine with Dinner
And I must say that the Banana Brownie Waffles recipe I made from that cookbook turned out awesome! YUM!
So for this week I have a couple of resources I wanted to share with you. Go on over and check out this super cute DIY Menu Organizer and Magnetic Menu Recipe Holder. It’s so cute. I wish I’d had time to email her to ask if I could share the picture but I didn’t so I won’t post it here for you. Using someone else’s pictures without asking first (even if you provide a link back to the site) is a huge no no in my book so you’ll just have to go on over and see it for yourself 🙂
Updated: Yay, Erin emailed me to say it was okay to share her picture! Look how awesome:
I also thought this was a great post about Cooking for Others: A Guide to Giving Sympathy Meals from Simple Bites.
Don’t forget if you are looking for recipe inspiration to check out the Recipe Index Round-Up where you’ll find over 100 recipe indexes linked up all in one place. So handy! Please feel free to add yours as well if you haven’t already.
Here’s what we’ll be eating this week:
Monday: Teriyaki Chicken (I made a double batch last week and froze for a quick meal) served with rice and frozen veggies
Tuesday: Sunshine Meatloaf served with perogies and broccoli
Wednesday: French Onion-Pork Chop Skillet served with baked potatoes and roasted peppers
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Zippy BLT Wraps
Saturday: Easy Garlic Broiled Chicken served with french fries and carrot sticks
Simple Supper Sunday

I am so happy I got a copy of your book! Those waffles look scrumptious, thanks for hosting us!

Those brownie waffles sound amazing! Thanks for hosting the link up.
Those waffles look amazing!! The word “brownie” in their name makes me pretty sure I’d love them. 🙂
Family Day sounds like a great holiday!
We are wishing for Spring here! We had a little teaser last week, then it turned cold again yesterday…yuck!
Thanks so much for hosting Laura! Looks like another yummy week!
I’m giving away Erin’s $5 Dinner Breakfast and Lunch Cookbook if anyone is interested!

Famiy Day sounds so much more fun than OUR Holiday… President’s Day. LOL!
Where did you get your heart waffle maker? I think it is adorable even if the boys might not be impressed.
On another note: It took me about 10 minutes to get your site to work this morning – said something about a database error. I am guessing it was because of the sheer number of people all trying to access your site at the exact same time? Just thought you would want to know that.
My new recipe I tried this week was the Brown Sugar Biscuit Twists from MoneySavingMom. They turned out delicious!
Family Day? ! How fun is that? How are you celebrating?
I’m thrilled to be getting one of your books. I hope everyone liked the Say Mmm recipes that were linked up!
Thanks for always hosting Laura!
Your menu looks yum! Isn’t it so awesome to cook once and serve twice! I am thinking my kids would love that Chicken Teriyaki recipe! 🙂 Have a great week.
Thanks for hosting Laura! Happy family day!
Family day here, too – as of a couple of years ago. I missed it from when I lived in Alberta.
Enjoy your family!
I, too, won a book through Say Mmm and am so excited to read it- I think it’ll be the first book I’ve read where I “know” the author (virtually, but that counts, doesn’t it?). 🙂
Oh, and I had no problem loading your page- came up like normal.
Thanks and have a great holiday!
Thanks so much for hosting us here! It’s a great way to stay organized and on top of meal planning. Have a great start to your week!!!
I’m so excited about my first MPM! Thank you for hosting such a cool event.
Oh, I love BLTs! I will have to go check out that recipe!

The waffles look yummy and your menu sounds delish!
This is my first time here but I just started menu planning! Thanks for hosting this, this is really cool! Have a wonderful Family Day!!
Well this week it’s gonna be sausage soup; cowboy stew in crock pot; marinated chicken in crockpot; something with noodles;and that’s what I’ve got planned so far. Usually leftovers on Thurs since hubby is gone. Nice day out here in the Pacific NW, on President’s day. No mail, or banks or school. Off on Mon. anyway! Have a great week.
It’s Family Day here in Manitoba! Well, Louis Riel Day.
Hi Laura!
Your waffles are adorable:)..and your menu looks yummy too. We love perogies too.
I can’t wait until tonight, when I can look at some of the other menus and get some new ideas for my menu.
Happy Monday!

Thank you for sharing the link on cooking for others. My mind seems to go blank when I need to cook something to take in that situation. I’ll take every bit of help I can get.
I’ve been waffling (ha!) on getting a heart-shaped waffle maker, but now I think I must have one. Those waffles were to cute.
Have a great week.
Those waffles sure look good! Thanks for hosting Laura 🙂
PS – I took my first trip to IKEA today, you HAVE to go!
Hi Laura,
Your heart pancakes are so cute and look delicious. Family day sounds like a great holiday, we need one like that here. Thank you for hosting us today and enjoy your holiday!
What a fun day!! Your pancakes are adorable. I found that menu board and recipe holder last week and it is so creative. I am going to attempt it! Thanks for hosting!
Love your site! Thanks for all the recipe ideas…off to check them out! =)
Thank you for faithfully hosting the link up for all of us! 🙂
