Menu Plan Monday

Hello Friends!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend!  Ours was filled to the brim, but that's starting to be the norm so I'm getting used to it.
Here's my menu plan for this week:

Monday-Chicken Cordon Bleu, Rice, California Mix Veggies
Tuesday-Grilled Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans
Wednesday-Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, Garlic Bread
Thursday-Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin, pasta roni, broccoli
Friday-Cajun Turkey tenderloin, crock pot mac and cheese (mmmm! mac and cheese!), peas

I always have the best of intentions with my meal plans but sometimes it just doesn't pan out and we change the day we're having things or switch around the sides, but that's okay, it all works out in the end!

Have a great week!

Work in Progress Wednesday

Hello friends!
From now on, hump day will be work in progress Wednesday. I will show you what projects I'm working on right now. This week my WIP is a pair of zip pocket pouches. I've been doing a lot of quilting recently but I've got a craft fair coming up in early November so I've really got to get going on some of the smaller things that will be available in my booth.

Menu Monday

Hello Friends!

It is a personal goal of mine to be a better blogger.  One of the was that I desire to improve is by being more consistent in my posting habits.  To that end, I have decided to try to follow a schedule for my posting that would lead me to 4 posts per week: 1 for each of my loves.  From hence forth, I declare the first workday of the week to be Menu Monday!  On Mondays I will share with you my menu plan for the week as well as any new recipes I have come across (usually courtesy of Pinterest). So, without further ado, here we go!

This week the things I have to menu plan around are: soccer practice on Monday and Thursday, church on Wednesday and Sunday, and a 1:00 soccer game on Saturday.  We also have plans to visit friends Saturday evening.

Monday-Baked Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes (we like the ones from Betty Crocker that can be found in the freezer aisle), green beans
Tuesday-baked tilapia, pasta roni, peas
Wednesday-Baked Shrimp in a Lemony Garlic sauce, couscous, green beans (the kids will have chicken nuggets because neither one of them will eat shrimp)
Thursday-Crockpot Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
Friday-Meatloaf, Macaroni and Cheese, Broccoli
Saturday-Lunch-Corndog Bake
                Dinner-out with friends

I also made crockpot sugared pecans for snacking on this week (though I don't know how much longer they'll last, those things are addictive!)

Have a great day!
