It’s going to be another busy week! Lately, chicken has been on sale around these parts, so we are having several chicken dishes. I roasted a few large chicken breasts over the weekend. I split them up into portions to freeze (about 1 lb each) that I can thaw in the future to…

Weekly Menu Plan, Mar 18 – Mar 24
This week, we are putting our house on the market, so I hope to keep our menu plan simple and easy to clean up! Here’s hoping that we sell reasonably quick so that we can start looking for our new family home, and of course, the new home of Everyday Home Cook! Dinners…

Weekly Menu Plan, Mar 11 – Mar 17
We are looking forward to a week with several sunny, 70-80 degree days… A welcome transition to spring! I can’t wait to plant a garden and to start having super-fresh produce on the table. I was very busy planning my son’s 3rd birthday party last week, so this post is short and sweet!…

Weekly Menu Plan, Mar 4 – Mar 10
If you have been following my menu plans the last few weeks (or perhaps months now!), you’ve probably noticed that I have not been sticking to the menu plan as… well… planned. Despite this minor detail, I still feel that I am far ahead of where I would be without menu planning. I…

Weekly Menu Plan, Feb 26 – Mar 3
This week, I am preparing for my menu by taking a good look at what I have on hand before making a trip to the grocery store. Last week, I had planned to make Stuffed Shells… Well, it turns out that instead of the Italian sausage I thought I had, there were breakfast…

Weekly Menu Plan, Feb 19 – Feb 25
I began last week with Pretzel Dogs, which turned out to be a complete hit! My son loved them, just like I thought he would. Then, I made a heart-shaped pizza for Valentine’s Day. It was fun to try something a little out of the ordinary! We didn’t get to the baked potatoes,…

Weekly Menu Plan, Feb 12 – Feb 18
It’s a good thing I a flexible with my menu plans, because if I were not, the whole venture would be considered a disaster! When planning our menu last week, I completely forgot that we would be having a “fondue night” at our friends’ house, and that I would need to make an…

Weekly Menu Plan, Feb 5 – Feb 11
I’ve made it over 6 weeks now planning weekly dinner menus! Let me tell you, it has revolutionized the way I look at making dinner. For something that happens every day, I was really unprepared for it! Some nights I even dreaded thinking about the answer to the question, “What’s for dinner?” Perhaps…

Weekly Menu Plan, Jan 29 – Feb 4
Last week, I roasted a whole chicken and turned it in to three meals. It worked out pretty well, although I was not counting on the family eating so much chicken for lunch the day after I roasted it! So, the quesadillas and soup were a little shy of the amount of chicken…

Weekly Menu Plan, Jan 22 – Jan 28
Last week’s menu plan went well. I was able to try a new recipe with some meatballs I had previously made and frozen. I made the sauce from Elise’s Swedish Meatballs (minus the jam), and they were delicious! I have to say, I haven’t ever liked Swedish meatballs in the past, but I…
