Easy Peasy 12 Day Menu Plan

Hi! It's Jilly. Last week I started telling you about our cruise, and told you about the reference guide I made for my sweet sister who was watching our kids. In the guide I had a menu plan, and I told you I would share it. Well, here it is! Nothing super fancy, but a week and a half worth of easy meals! I hope it gives you some inspiration, and not very much perspiration!

Day 1: Stuffing & Chicken Bake - like this recipe, but I put the stuffing on top after pouring on the soup. Serve with rice. (Our family loves Jasmine rice, btw.)
Day 2: Soup & Salad - a week or two before I left I made a big pot of soup and froze the leftovers in a gallon ziploc bag. So, all she had to do was get it out of the freezer in the morning to defrost, then heat it up at dinner time.
Day 3: Slow Cooker Coca Cola BBQ Chicken Sandwiches. (I've never added the lemon & onion like this recipe calls for, but it sounds like a yummy addition!)
Day 4: Spaghetti
Day 5: Chicken Quesadillas, using leftover BBQ chicken
Day 6: Taco Soup - just like this recipe, but I cook the meat with the taco seasoning like it says on the packet (or bottle, if you have the big one from Costco), then add it to the beans, etc that are already cooking together in a separate pot.
Day 7: Pizza & Movie Night!

Day 8: Spinach Lasagna Rolls - Love this recipe from SkinnyTaste!
Day 9: Honey Dijon Rosemary Pork Chops - one of my favorite recipes from the cookbook "Our Best Recipes" by Better Homes & Gardens. I should share it with you sometime!
Day 10: Baked Potato Bar with chili, cheese, etc.
Day 11: Baked Penne - recipe coming soon. It's super easy, I promise!
Day 12: Breakfast for Dinner! Scrambled Eggs, Pancakes, Fruit Salad

Yay! Your menu planning is all done for you. Now you have time to catch up on housework  watch HGTV! ;)

Menu Plan Monday

Hi! It's Jilly. Happy Monday! Oh, man...I have so much stuff to do today! Do Mondays feel like that to you?! Reclaiming the house from the weekend, laundry, errands...

Since I need to go shopping today I figured I should probably go with some kind of plan, right?! So, I actually made a menu for this week! (Go me!)

And, I thought I would share my plan with you, because sharing is caring. Maybe my plan will spark some meal ideas for you! Here we go...

Monday: Creamy Mexican Turkey Soup with some of our leftover turkey. My husband decided last week that he wanted to make a turkey. Ok, hubs. Whatever. As long as you're cookin', I don't care! This recipe is from Recipe Girl, and it is awesome!

Tuesday: Spinach Lasagna Rolls. Recipe from Skinnytaste.com. These are SO easy to make! I made a bunch of them with the 8-11 year old girls at church for an activity, and they were able to make them with little direction from me.

Wednesday: Crockpot Cowboy Chicken. I just got this recipe from my friend. I went over to her house the other day while it was cooking in the crockpot and it smelled delicious! We'll give it a whirl!

Thursday: Spaghetti with meat sauce. I am perfectly happy making noodles and pouring canned sauce on top of it, but not the hubby. He has to "fix" everything! So, I will be browning some hamburger and onions to add to the store bought sauce. *Make extra hamburger to set aside for Saturday's meal!*

Friday: Southwest Chicken Pasta. I have some green & red bell peppers in the fridge that need to be used. I can't find the recipe I've used to make this before, but this one from Campbell's Kitchen sounds pretty good.

Saturday: Taco Soup. We're doing family pictures that day, so a nice, warm soup all ready in the crockpot when we get home will be nice. (The link is to Paula Deen's recipe, which is similar to how I make it.)

Sunday: Beef Stroganoff. Hubby's favorite meal his mama makes. My son asked me yesterday if we were going to have it sometime. Sounds good to me!

There you have it, folks. Now I need to get goin'. Hopefully the washers in the laundry room are available now so I can throw in a couple loads of laundry, then run my errands. I need to find all the stuff for my kids' Halloween costumes because the Trunk-or-Treat at church is this Wednesday. Aah! How did Halloween sneak up so fast?!
