Hi everyone and welcome to another week of Menu Plan Monday. I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends today. I had such a wonderful surprise at about 9:30 Friday night when I was just getting in to bed to watch TV and heard the code for our front door start to beep. In walks my son from college coming home for Thanksgiving weekend! None of us knew he was coming so I was jumping up and down screaming like a lunatic. I love surprises and he got me so good 🙂 He sat right down in the living room and we all talked until 2:00 in the morning and I loved every minute of it. The best!
So we were going to have our holiday dinner today but moved it to Sunday because my son has to make the drive back to school today. We had a delicious farm fresh chicken, mashed potatoes and broccoli for dinner. And you better believe I made a special treat for my boy, his favorite gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free chocolate cupcakes. He loves these so much so of course I made a big batch for him to take back with him for his freezer for whenever he needs a little homemade treat.
My Weekly Menu Plan:
Monday: Thanksgiving leftovers – yum!
Tuesday: Paleo Sloppy Joes
Wednesday: Slow Cooker Paleo Pot Roast with potatoes and carrots
Thursday: Leftover buffet
Friday: Pizza Party Friday Night with 5 minute homemade pizza dough and for me Salmon Patties
Saturday: Slow Cooker Chicken & Mushrooms
Sunday: YOYO (you’re on your own!)
Have a wonderful week everyone!!

What a wonderful surprise! Happy Thanksgiving to you. Pizza party Friday night sounds like a fun menu option. Hope you have a great week!

Hi Jean, yes having a set night for pizza makes for a much easier week. One day I don’t have to think about 🙂
