Menu Planning Monday

Monday Planning Monday

Monday - Squash Risotto - a new recipe, we have been getting a lot of squash in our weekly vegetable delivery and need new ways to use it.

Tuesday - Pulled chicken BBQ - this receipe is always a big hit and since it is a Rachel Ray it is super easy.  I make this a lot when I need a dish to share or to bring dinner to someone. 

Wednesday - Salmon Skewers, with sauteed squash - kids cook night, this is an easy and healthy receipe that the two oldest can help out with.

Thursday - Pot Roast - slow cooker receipe of the week

Friday - Beef sandwiches - leftovers from the pot roast

Hopefully this week I will find my camera and post some pictures throughout the week!

Menu Planning Monday

I am usually pretty good at planning our dinners for the week, but I have never been very formal about it and the weekly menu and shopping list are usually jotted down on some random scrap of paper.  As a result I don't have a record of favorite meals and reciepes.  When I want to make something again I have to look through cookbooks/magazines and search on-line, I often find something, but it isn't always the orignal receipe.  Maybe this will get me away from the scraps of paper and actually get my receipes organized.

On the menu this week:
Monday - Shepherds pie
Tuesday - Roasted Chicken with squash (no receipe just throwing it in the crock pot) tomato soup
Wednesday - Tuna Noodle Casserole (can't beat the classic)
Thursday - Mongolian Beef  (love Mongolian beef, trying a new receipe for it this week)
Friday - Baked Ziti
