This week was pretty easy for me as far as cooking goes. We were out of town on Monday. Several of the things I made we were able to have as leftovers.

Tuesday:
Dinner- Chicken Parmesan (Betty Crocker- very easy recipe)

Wednesday:
Lunch- Leftover Pizza from Monday night
Dinner- Pioneer Woman Meatloaf - I used crushed crackers instead of bread crumbs

Thursday:
Lunch- Grilled Cheese
Dinner- Shredded Pork Tacos (crock pot meal)

Friday:
Lunch- Leftover Pork Tacos
Dinner- Meatloaf Sandwich, Mac "n" cheese (from the freezer), then I made homemade brownies for dessert!

It always make things easier if you can use leftovers! Happy Meal Planning :)

Menu Planning #1

Meal planning can be so hard sometimes! It makes life throughout the week easier, but actually thinking of things to cook can be difficult! Usually on Sunday or Monday morning, I try to make a menu for the week and then go to the store. Lately I have had a hard time coming up with ideas. For a while I have been wanting to write more about menu planning, so I am going to do it here. I am going to make a tab on my blog and am going to link my menus up there. Then, if you are having a hard time thinking of things to cook, you can go there! I hope that it will be helpful to you my readers, and I will probably use it myself! Here is what I cooked this week:

Monday:

Lunch- Black Bean Soup with Sausage (Better Homes and Gardens cookbook)
Dinner-Chicken Sausage Burritos (chicken sausage in a flour tortilla with cheese, sour cream)

Tuesday:

Dinner- Homemade Stromboli Rolls

Wednesday:

Lunch- Leftover pizza
Dinner-Beef Kabobs, Couscous

Thursday:

Lunch- Leftover Stromboli Roll
Dinner- Crock Pot Roast Beef Taco (I used this recipe, but cooked it a little different)

Friday:

Lunch- Roast Beef Sandwich (beef from dinner night before)
Dinner: Chicken Parmesan (Betty Crocker)

I hope this will be helpful to you!!
