It was so nice to go four whole days without cooking this past week! Here’s what is on the menu for this next week:

Monday: Grilled Steak (thanks again, Target!), Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli – I can’t seem to get enough of the roasted sweet potatoes!!

For steak, I marinate it all day in whatever sounds good… I’m thinking some kind of italian dressing.

Tuesday: Meatless Tortilla Casserole (It is likely that I will make two of these and freeze one.)

Wednesday: Baked Spaghetti with spinach and strawberry salad

Thursday: Leftovers (there will be LOTS!)

Friday: Tilapia with Couscous and cooked spinach

Saturday: Beef Stew with potatoes and carrots (Brown the beef, add sliced carrots, cut potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, a can of tomato soup, and whatever spices sounds good and cook until everything is soft)

Sunday: Leftovers

First, I had an awesome menu planning/blogger experience this past Saturday. I posted in Menu Plan Monday last week about a workshop here in the D/FW area that Erin from $5 Dinners was having. It was awesome! I learned a bunch (I boiled leftover chicken bones for the first time tonight to make homemade broth!) and I got to meet some amazing bloggers “in real life”!

Erin has an awesome Recipe Index on her blog that I am definitely going to be taking advantage of more often!

Here’s what’s on the menu for this week – this should be a pretty easy week since I don’t have to cook THREE nights in a row!! I love it when that happens!

Monday: Mini Meatloaves in a muffin tin

Tuesday: NO COOKING!

Wednesday: NO COOKING!

Thursday: NO COOKING!

Friday: Roast in the crockpot with potatoes, carrots and onions (I put onion soup mix on top of the roast and I push garlic cloves down into the roast before I cook it)

Saturday: Honey Dijon Fish with Sweet Potatoes and Veggies

Sunday: Breakfast for dinner!! (Waffles, eggs, grits and fruit!) Grits is another one of those food items where I’m shocked every time I hear someone say that they’ve never tried (or heard of… *gasp*) grits!
