Menu Plan Monday March 1-7
Only 19 days til our wedding! *GASP* We are getting the house ready for d-day and like yesterday, I’m forgetting to start dinner. Its late, we go out, we spend money. I don’t like spending money on food that’s not that great. Well I’ll be planning better this week. I’m going to do some recipes that can be doubled and frozen, or at least buy some new containers for lunch sized portions. I used to be so good at this, but then I wasn’t getting ready for d-day. So here goes…
Monday: Grilled Chicken (and a lot of it!)
Tuesday: Baked Raviolli
Wednesday: Homemade Soup
Thursday: Hamburger Steak, hash brown casserole
Friday: Hot Dogs
Saturday: Homemade Pizza (will make crust and put in the freezer this week0
Sunday: Pot Roast

PDF Menu Plan Monday – Jan 4-10
Happy New Year to all of you from ORG Junkie! Thanks for visiting. I love MPM and try to participate most weeks of the year. I’m going to be focusing on ways to make your home run a little more simple this year, as we are trying to do the same here in our home. I’m also planning a DIY wedding and will be trying out a lot of things before the end of March and asking for a lot of opinions, so stick around and help a girl out!
This week the kids are going back to school on Tuesday from their Christmas holidays. Tuesday is also my daughter Kayla’s 8th birthday. She has asked for cupcakes at school on Tuesday, church on Wednesday and then again at our Girl Scout meeting on the following Wednesday. So I’ll be making about 6 dozen in the next week which is a good 1st trial for the wedding. Do you have a favorite recipe for cupcakes? Please share with me.

Menu Plan Monday, Getting a little Healthier
As most of you know, I’m still participating in the Bloggest Loser contest. I’ve lost a little weight and I’m now on a diet prescribed by my Physician. I can still have just about what I want, but as he says my portions should be one third less than normal. That part has been no problem at all! Yay me! Scott is home these days, so I need to keep us all on a healthier diet without everyone noticing. So here are a few things I’ll be trying this week.
Monday: Chicken Noodle Soup
Tuesday: Vegetable Beef Soup (requested by ds12)
Wednesday: Grilled Chicken Salads
Thursday: Pork Tenderloin, steamed veggies
Friday: Cornish Hens, green beans and oven baked potatoes
For more menus run over to Orgjunkie.
Menu Plan Monday (Hurricane Ida and Funeral)
This week is full, and I do mean full. With Hurricane Ida likely to hit this evening and the death of Scott’s grandmother, a doctor’s appointment and at least one dental appointment we are busy. Even though we don’t live on the cost, we are close enough tot get the rain and wind, which means the possibility of not having power for a few days is always there, so we prepare for the worst.
So this week I’ll plan to grill, smoke and use simple things for our menu. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Just imagine these leaved flying everywhere with Hurricane Ida
Monday: Smoked Turkey Breast with leftover mac and cheese.
Tuesday: Grilled hamburgers with chips.
Wednesday: If the weather permits, we will buy Pizza because of the funeral or we will be eating with family or at church.
Thursday: Meatloaf with mashed potatoes. This can be cooked inside or out, but I may mix it up today in the pan and freeze it.
Friday: We will have 5 kids for dinner, so we will have something easy like hot dogs because of possible football game that night. If we stay in, we will be popping popcorn and having a family game night.
Saturday: Roast, potatoes and carrots.
Sunday: Leftovers.
Menu Plan Monday (Balanced Reward Meals)
If you read often, you know that I’m on this Carb Addicts Diet. The weekends are really putting a stick in my spoke so I’ve decided to plan the whole weekend, which I don’t normally do. I want this to be 1/3 veggies, 1/3 protien and 1/3 carbs. I can’t really go wrong, but I’m not a big veggie person so I have to stick with that.
Monday: Hamburger Steaks, Salad and rolls
Tuesday: Chicken Pot Pie, Salad
Wednesday: Pizza, Salad
Thursday: Vegetable Beef Soup, a small slice of Chocolate Poundcake
Friday: Grilled Chicken, grilled green beans, salad and Chocolate Poundcake
Saturday: Meatloaf, green beans, salad, Pouncake and or candy
Sunday: Smoked Turkey Breast, Mac N Cheese, Salad,
Menu Plan Monday (Protien, Protien, and Salads)
I’m on this diet, and well Saturday I got off of it, and if I don’t start eating more veggies (aka. salads) I’m not gonna lose any more weight, so I thought I’d do a lot of protien and salads this week, don’t you love when someone uses commas way to much to keep from using a capital letter and a period? 
Monday: Grilled Chicken Salad
Tuesday: Smoked Boston Butt, salad and potatoes
Wednesday: Pizza and Salad
Thursday: Turkey Salad
Friday: Chicken Salad
Whew that was hard! lol!
Menu Plan Monday (Protien and veggies)
I’m still on the diet! Yay! Its working even when I’m bad and mother nature is against me. This week I’m not going to cheat and gonna try to get this water weight back off plus some.
I know that I’m addicted to carbohydrates. I love having something sweet for breakfast and then my snacks. I could eat brownies with or for every meal. So on with my menu:
Breakfast for every day: Omelet with cheese and bacon, ham or sausage.
Lunch for every day: Grilled chicken or other protein from leftovers with a salad or green beans
Dinner:
- Monday: Grilled Chicken, salad, french bread and brownie
- Tuesday: Nachos with black beans, lettuce, tomatoes and a brownie
- Wednesday: Pizza and salad
- Thursday: Hamburger steaks, Mac n Cheese and green beans
- Friday: Steak, baked potatoes and salad
Snacks: Cheese sticks, Vegetable Tray, Beef Jerky
This week I want to be a lot more careful about what I have over the weekends and have at least 4 bottles of water in the truck so that there’s not a temptation to drink sweet tea if we go out to eat.
Now I need to finish cleaning out my fridge so that I can buy a whole lot of lettuce this week, because I missed some veggies last week and can’t do that anymore.
Menu Plan Monday: Carb Addicts Diet
I’ve been doing this diet for about a week and lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. Nope I don’t have the book, but I’ve read a good bit and its working so far. The book hasn’t shipped, but will soon I hope. I have my weekly update done!
