Hello March! I know that snow, freezing rain and cold temperatures can all be a part of March and let's be honest April here in Michigan but I am feeling as though there is an end in sight to all this winter. I am hoping for an earlier spring this year. Last year I remember bundling up when we went camping on Memorial weekend and not digging out my capri's until after that. Fingers crossed....
Last week my menu looked very nice, I just did not stick with it at all. I went grocery shopping on Tuesday because our cupboards and frig were beyond bare. I found some pick of the chick on sale and grabbed a package for dinner that night. We all love chicken, especially whole chicken but I have not found it on sale very often in the past couple of years. I wanted to get back and grab some more but I ended up staying away from the stores for the rest of the week. My pocketbook is thanking me for that.
So onward to this week's menu. I think I will probably stick with it a bit better. Unless my trip to Costco on Thursday changes my mind.
Monday: Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans
Tuesday: Potato soup in the slow cooker
Wednesday: Chicken and homemade noodles (I want to get this made sometime soon again-- forces have been against me!)
Thursday: Roast in slow cooker
Friday: Egg sausage casserole
Saturday: tuna noodle casserole
Sunday: Chicken Chimi's
This week I promise to link up with Org Junkie for the weekly menu link up. Last week after all the chaos I had endured, I never made it to link up. I actually had an awesome time substitute teaching, they are just full of energy. I hope everyone has a great week!
Thanks for visiting me here on the hill. Leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by and be sure to stop back again soon.

Sigh. I really need to get back to weekly menu planning. I used to be so good at it.
ReplyDeleteOn a related note... do you have a recipe, for your meatloaf, that you'd be willing to share? My husband loves it, but I don't know how to make it.
I find it is just so much less stressful to at least have a guideline on what I would like to make for the week.
ReplyDeleteAs for a recipe-- well I don't actually have a recipe or exact amounts. For my meatloaf I am a throw a bit of this and a bit of that into the bowl. But I use about 1 pound to 1-1/2 pounds of ground venison (but beef works just as well), 1 egg, about 1/8 cup of milk, some Italian seasoning (it has basil, oregano, etc in it), and some italian seasoned bread crumbs (and I just use what I need to get a good consistency- not runny but not dry). Then I just mix it all up, throw it into a pan, throw the pan into a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour. Sometimes I will put ketchup on top before I bake- the kids like that. Otherwise we usually eat it with ketchup or chili sauce. Sorry I don't have exact amounts. The amount of meat varies often.
Last night I made a meat loaf and used 1-1/2 pounds of meat and we had 2 small pieces left. My kids love meatloaf....
Thank you for visiting-- I hope you stop back soon.
