Menu Plan Monday (Oct. 19, 2009)
As a new, amateur homemaker I enjoy trying to cook inexpensive and healthy meals for my husband and myself. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don’t. My best bets are usually recipes passed down from my mother. I’m not a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants sort of cook, for the most part. I’m also not good at crusts or dough. I’m working on that, though.
I really like browsing through the hundreds of weekly menus posted at I’m an Organizing Junkie each week for Meal Plan Monday. I decided to post my tentative plan for this week, but I haven’t gone so far as to include the recipes. If you want one of them, let me know and I’ll be happy to send it to you. Maybe if I keep doing this I’ll post the recipes along with the menu.
Monday: pizza casserole
Tuesday: chicken pot pie
Wednesday: sausage/noodles/peas casserole
Thursday: chicken strips, mashed potatoes, corn
Friday: black bean and cheese enchiladas, rice with veggies
Weekend: chili with cheese and crackers
Hi Lindsay! The chicken pot pie, sausage/peas/noodles, chicken strips, and mashed potatoes, are all my mom’s recipes. 
Thanks for the web site. It looks like a great one for more recipe ideas.
I’ll be passing it around.
Oh, those look great! I’m not very organized with menu plans – I kind of just wing it every night. But maybe I should plan more so that I can make sure to make good meals for Derek (if it’s been a hard day at work sometimes I just end up microwaving something – but I want to be a better cook than that). I’m pretty good with doughy things though – I do have a great recipe for homemade bread! It usually turns out great, unless my yeast is no good. I should probably share it on my blog sometime. *smile*
YUM….I love pot pie!! So how many of these recipes are your mom’s?? Sounds like a great menu Anna!! Glad your back to blogging
