Since I’ve been trying new recipes a lot, I have been finding it helpful to review them in my menu plan for the next week. This way, I will remember whether or not to make them again!. Last week I tried a few new recipes… The two new chicken dishes (Mexican Chicken Casserole…

Weekly Menu Plan, Jan 6 – Jan 12
The quinoa bites we tried last week were a hit! My husband loved them so much that he requested we make them again this week. Actually, they were a much bigger hit the second day than when I first made them. So really, the leftovers were the hit 😉 I am trying even…

Weekly Menu Plan, Dec 30 – Jan 5
It’s official! I have been writing up weekly menu plans for a year now. This has been one of the best things I could do to manage my kitchen (and our money) more efficiently! I am definitely going to keep up with it through 2013. I took last week off from menu planning…

Weekly Menu Plan, Dec 16 – Dec 22
Last week, I didn’t get to the shrimp, so I hope to make it early this week. We also have my husband’s family coming into town for a family Christmas this coming weekend. They have a tradition of eating butterball and noodle soup, which is a variation of chicken noodle soup. The butterballs…

Weekly Menu Plan, Dec 9 – Dec 15
Last week we stuck to our menu plan 100%! The 3 new recipes that I tried were mostly good. The sweet and sour chicken I will probably make again, but keep a closer eye on in the oven. The sauce caramelized on me, and not in a good way! I think if I…

Weekly Menu Plan, Dec 2 – Dec 8
We actually did a really good job sticking to our menu plan last week. There was only one meal which we missed (Swiss steak) because something came up and we weren’t at home until about 2 hours before dinner time (too short for a slow-cooked meal!). So, that’s on the menu plan early…

Weekly Menu Plan, Nov 11 – 17
I am feeling ambitious this week… I am going to do lots of baking and cooking. And since it’s a bit on the chillier side here, I feel like I can turn on the oven more! Plus, with a 4-day work week, I get to spend a little more time in the kitchen…

Weekly Menu Plan, Nov 4 – Nov 10
We had such a good time at my home town this past weekend. It was great to catch up with old friends and see family! It was also nice to have a break from cooking. But, I’m excited to get back in the kitchen and do some baking and cooking. Last week, we…
