Menu Plan Monday ~ April 14/14 Easter Edition

Menu Plan Monday for April 14/14
Hi friends, how did last week go for you?  Did you stick to your plan or deviate at all?  We had to switch things around a bit but that happens some weeks, I don’t sweat it.  I love how flexible having a menu plan is.  So my daughter’s 17th birthday last week went really great.  I shared some pictures on Instagram but for those that don’t follow me there here is a peak at a few of them.

I sent with her to school a wrapped present to open every hour.  She thought this was so fun.  Free printables are from Thirty Handmade Days blog.

  1. What a great way to celebrate a birthday when they have to go to school! I will have to remember that this fall when my middle one turns 18.

    This week was a crazy hot mess, but thank goodness for menu planning. It’s the only thing that helps me get back to my routine.

    Thanks so much for these weekly posts! They keep me honest. 🙂

  2. Where did you get the plate from? I’ve been looking for a birthday/celebration plate to use in our house but haven’t liked any I’ve found. We had a solid colored one growing up and it was a fun tradition to get to use the “special” plate.

  3. Your daughter’s birthday dinner looks delicious! I don’t think I’ve ever had pork schnitzel before, although we eat plenty of chicken friend steak. I’m pinning the recipe for later.

  4. Happy Birthday to your daughter! I love the sweet idea of sending her to school with gifts for every hour. Thanks so much for including my recipe in your meal plan this week! I’m definitely adding the baked tacos to my meal plan too!

  5. What a fun idea for your daughter’s birthday! I’m sure she’ll never forget that. I went off menu a little last week but I always allow for a little flexibility. It works well for us. Have a great week.

  6. I love what you did for your daughter’s birthday! My oldest turns 16 this year…I may just take a page out of your book and try the same! I think she’d get a kick out of it.

    That blueberry crisp sounds so good. I wouldn’t have thought to try orange zest in something like that…please let us know how it turns out!

    Have a happy Easter!

  7. The favorite dish I cooked this last week was the Pioneer Woman’s BBQ (Comfort) Meatballs. I tried linking up, and have linked up for several weeks now. I put in the linkback to your post, but when I go to InLinkz, it says that I didn’t. I’m able to click on the linked banner in my post back to your post. Did I do something wrong?

  8. So excited to see our creamy broccoli cheese soup added to your menu plan – you’ll have to let me know how you like it! And what a fun idea to open a gift every hour – that is a seriously special birthday 🙂
