Menu Plan Monday


I am so grateful for the accountability that Mondays hold me to. It gets me going on Sunday afternoons so I can have a much better week! If this sounds like a great idea to you---visit Menu Plan Monday!

I have (as you can see above:) 2 jars of buttermilk, 1 jar of kefir, some sourdough starter, and an Impossible Pumpkin Pie ready to kick me into the week! I also have a crockpot full of Beef Stew cooking, while I am about to sleep!

*****I put together some links with 10 tips for children and Thanksgiving, as well as a post with links to coloring and activity pages that you can print out!*****

MONDAY: kid's choice, Beef Stew and leftover Chicken Soup with homemade cheese bread, Tilapia, slaw, potato salad

TUESDAY: soaked grits, Re-make leftover stew from Monday (I talk about remakes here), Steak Casserole with cooked cabbage and Soaked Cherry-Almond Brownie Cake

WEDNESDAY: Coconut rice, Yellow Split Pea Soup with scones, Roast potatoes and carrots with cornbread

THURSDAY: Laura's Breakfast Cake , 15 Bean Soup w/ turkey sausage and cornbread, Meatza pie with mashed potatoes and green peas

FRIDAY: kid's choice, Cream of Beef-n-Noodles with Cherry-Berry Muffins, 2 hot chicks steamed broccoli

SATURDAY: soaked oatmeal, casserole from leftover chicken, green peas, creamy corn, broiled or grilled salmon, baked potatoes, green salad

yummy week planned! Thanks for linking all those recipes! :)

Thanks for stopping by! As for the cube steak cooking, I just pan-fried it with some seasoned salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. And once the meat juices were in the pan I put in a few drops of hot sauce and worchestershire sauce. :) I have a couple who don't eat cube steak so they got "tube steaks"(beef hot dogs), so doing a family pack(6 ct) of cube steaks is a enough for my family.

It looks so incredible. Really, I have yet to soak my grains. I don't know why I am so intimidated. You have several things that I want to try. Question for you - how long does homemade yogurt last? I make new every week pretty much and use up whatever was left last week in a recipe, but I just wondered.

gretchen,
Mine usually isn't in there anymore than 1 to 2 weeks at the most.

I do understand about soaking the grains....if I can just preplan, I'm okay, but if I'm winging it...I don't get it done. These Menu Plan Mondays really help me and I can download a menu planner from Laura's (Heavenly Homemakers) and print it out and make notes about my 'pre-plans'. It really helps me, otherwise they don't get soaked.;-)
