Menu Plan Monday – Feb 13 – 19

Now that I’ve added taking going back to school to everything else we have going on, it has become even more essential to have a menu plan and have it ready so that we can do our grocery shopping after church. Otherwise, all hell will break loose come Monday night.

The trick has been having time to blog it. I’m taking a break from said schoolwork to watch Adele on the Grammy’s and type up my menu plan for this week.

Monday – Crockpot Chicken & Dumplings
Tuesday – Spinach Baked Ziti
Wednesday – Chili
Thursday – Taco Pie
Friday – Easy Ranch Chicken

By the time the weekend comes, I’ll probably not have made one of the meals above and can use it or we’ll have enough leftovers that we can do that.

Are you the visual type? Check out my menu plan board on Pinterest.

Do you have a special meal planned for Valentine’s Day or will you be going out on the town with your sweetie?

I’ve hesitated to share recipes here because I don’t actually create them but will tweak them here and there.  But cooking is something I really enjoy and I think having an arsenal of quick, mostly healthy, easy recipes is a great asset to busy moms.

To that end, I’ve decided to start sharing some favorites here and there. My first will be a chili recipe that I’ve been tweaking for years and it’s a staple for us.

Brooke and I spend a lot of time together in the kitchen so I will also highlight ways to get kids in the kitchen with you!

Bon apetit!!!

Menu Plan Monday – January 23 – 29

Menu Plan Monday

Time to start another week!! Last week we made some changes to the lineup because Keith had a couple of late nights at work so Brooke and I threw together some quick dinners. I also didn’t have a chance to get my beans cooked up. So I’m carrying over a couple of the meals from last week’s plan to this week. I love it when I can do that!!

Black Bean & Cheese Enchiladas
Black Bean Burgers
Taco Pasta
Chili
Homemade Pizza
Alfredo Pasta with Sausage
Free Night!!

I’m considering starting a series called “Weekend Warrior” that will discuss things you can do over the weekend that can save you time during the week. I would love to have some guest contributors share their ideas as well. Tips can include anything from kitchen tips, laundry, housecleaning, organization, time management, finances & budgeting, and quality family time….If you’re interested in contributing (you don’t have to be a working mom or have a blog), please send me an email at sarah@tiredmommytales.com.
