Stay-at-home Mom? Yes, although I prefer the title "CEO of Our House, Inc." I'm trying my best to raise three happy little kids, manage our home, learn to cook, and be a good wife to my hard-working husband. It's a juggling act that is the most challenging job I've ever had. No raises. No accolades. But plenty of hugs and kisses.

Menu Plan - Week of 11/8/10
Ahhh….home sweet home. I am glad to be home again with my little family and settling into our routine. I love traveling to see family but it is always sooooo nice to get home, get unpacked, get the house cleaned, and sigh a little “I love my house and my family” sigh.
And part of that routine is menu planning. I haven’t posted a menu plan for weeks and I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things again. Here is what I have planned so far for the upcoming week:
Breakfasts:
Giant Breakfast Cookies
CrockPot Apple Oatmeal (new recipe)
Cold cereal, toast and bananas
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes (from freezer)
Lunches:
PB&J, raisins, pickles
Cheese quesadillas, carrot sticks with ranch dip
Chicken strips, cottage cheese, apple slices
Leftovers
Suppers:
Monday:
Stir fry made with leftover grilled pork chops, green beans and mushrooms from Sunday night
Tuesday:
BBQ Chicken Drumsticks, Ranch potato wedges, Mixed vegetables, Apple slices
Wednesday:
Black Bean Salsa Chicken (new recipe), Chips with salsa and sour cream
Thursday:
Hubby working late – leftovers for me and the kids
Friday:
Hubby working late again; Three Cheese Garlic Chicken Pasta (new recipe) and fruit for me and the kids
Saturday:
Tator Tot Hotdish (made with ground turkey), lettuce salad, orange slices
Sunday:
Hubby’s choice…probably out to eat!

The 3 Cheese Garlic Chicken Pasta stabds out to me. Sounds like something I'll be giving a try for my family. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for stopping my to check out my menu too.
I see you are in the St. Paul area...that's where both of my parents grew up. We're all in North Carolina now :)
Tater hot dish sounds good.. I wonder I could make it and just slice thin slices of fresh potatoes? What do you think? I've never made anything like that before, but it sounds good!
