Menu Plan Monday - week of 03/16 - 03/22/09

We are trying to participate again this week in Menu Plan Monday! Having a menu plan makes our dinner times run so much more smoothly that it is quickly becoming a "must have" item in our household. Here's what is in the works for our meals this week.....


Check out more great Menu Plans for the week to get fresh ideas for your own weekly dinners!

Monday
- homemade chicken strips with french fries and fresh veggies - I may even try to slip in some funnel cakes for dessert (such a 'filling' meal but one we only have a few times a year)


Tuesday
- something GREEN for Saint Patrick's Day. So far, we have on the menu steamed green beans and some great red potatoes - we're still going to have to look in the freezer for our main course. I may go with meatloaf as it just sounds like a yummy compliment to the sides I've already picked out! We may even try some making some Irish soda bread with the kids. :)


Wednesday
- easy chicken pot pie and extra veggies on the side (Recipe added 03/20/09 - it is a nice and easy homemade version of a great comfort food - and a terrific way to use up leftover chicken, which we had on the grill over the weekend and need to finish!)


Thursday
- Crock Pot Day - chili with either corn bread or bread bowls and a tossed green salad (I always make a big pot using my dry beans to ensure leftovers - these will appear again on Saturday!)


Friday
- pork chops and scalloped potatoes because we didn't get to have them last week!


Saturday
- Navajo tacos AKA Indian Fry Bread - so yummy and our favorite way to use up leftover chili!


Sunday - LEFTOVERS to clean up the fridge

Watch for a post with a few more details on how I make my fry bread. It seemed a bit long to post as a comment! :) Thanks for checking in and asking - fry bread is one of my kids' favorites!!!
