Menu Plan Monday 1/31-2/6: Light Fare and Superbowl!


Hopefully, I'll have my stuff more together this week, since I kind of screwed up last week's menu plan by forgetting that we were going to be gone for 2 days on a camping trip! This week's menu is going to be light fare and of course there's going to be some game day faves too! I hope you enjoy these recipes and stop by www.orgjunkie.com to see her full menu plan as well! Also, don't forget, if you haven't already, sign up for the Full Size Giveaway! It's still got pretty low entry numbers!

Served with spinach salad and curried brown rice
This looks so good, but I'm gonna try it with legs instead, since I don't have any thighs handy! 

How can it get any lighter than this? 

Wednesday: Fend for Yourself Night

This recipe has inspired me to try to think of my own recipes to make this way.

Friday: Undecided: I might make something new that I can post in  a future plan!

Saturday: Dinner at The Olive Garden in celebration of our anniversary a month ago! This is our favorite restaurant! But of course, I'll be using a coupon I clipped a couple of weeks ago!

Sunday: Game Day!! Who're you goin' for? Me? I'm a little undecided since my team (Seahawks) has a history with both teams! 
Beef nachos
Lil smokies smothered in bbq sauce
Alicia's Healthified Greek Layered Dip (for moi) with pita chips
deli wraps

In case anyone is wondering, that Tri-tip with sundried tomatoes and feta was PHENOMENAL!

Menu Plan Monday


I started Menu Plan Monday on my blog because I saw this being done by Laura from I'm An Organizing Junkie and her Menu Plan Monday! I like hers so much that I would like to offer up my weekly menu plan for my readers too! Make sure you check hers out too!
This week is just a relaxed week with just me, my hubs, and our almost four year old daughter. Sometimes it is difficult for me to create smaller meals, and since my oldest girls have gone to live with their dad for the year, I have had to make meals for six down to just four...but this week, it's basically like making dinner for two since the little one doesn't eat much. Hopefully I can pull this one off without resorting to fast food or rushing to Safeway for frozen meals.

Monday- Apple Chicken Legs,
served with roasted potatoes and peas
I will make the whole recipe since the leftover chicken is wonderful cold the next day for lunch!

Tuesday- Tater Tot Casserole, scaled down to only half of recipe
served with green salad

Wednesday- Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese
This one can be made for under $5.00! One of the ladies left a comment that she adds imitation lobster to it when she makes it, so I'll be trying that out!

Thursday- 40 Clove Chicken
served with leftover mac and cheese! Add some steamed vegies to complete the meal!

Friday- Chicken and Wild Rice Soup with Pearled Onions
I will be using the leftover chicken from Thursday for this recipe!

Saturday- picnic dinner!

Sunday- Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Tomato Soup

Menu Plan Monday

This is a new feature for my blog, so I hope by sharing what I will be making for my family each week, you'll be inspired to cook more homemade meals for your family too. I have just a few goals for our weekly dinners: fast, simple, and delicious! Share your thoughts on these with me and with my other readers too! Do you have a simple recipe that you like to make?
Monday - Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo: This week I'll be using one of the jars of sauces I got a couple of weeks ago, but here's a great homemade recipe for alfredo sauce.
Tuesday - Slow Cooker 40 Clove Chicken (I got this idea from orgjunkie.com)
Wednesday - Chicken Wraps (using leftover chicken from Tuesday
Directions: spread light or reduced fat mayo on low-carb tortillas, followed by shredded chicken, sliced tomatoes, avocado, and lettuce leaves.
Thursday - Tuna Melts with Tomato Soup
Friday - dinner with family (I'm bringing something, but not sure what yet since plans haven't been finalized)
Saturday - dinner with family (I'm bringing Deviled Eggs with Capers and Baked Brie with Caramelized Plums
Sunday - fast food day (we can't help it this day)
