menu plan monday 2.1.10
February already. I know you are thinking you say that everytime it is a new month! Well it is true how did this past month go by so fast?
Sunday - Porcupine Meatballs (we ate at Paw's house and this is not his recipe but when I make them this is how)
Monday - Chicken in creamy pan sauce (new recipe if good will post the recipe here as well - I found it here at Frugal & Fabulous). Wild rice and salad? or frozen veggies.
Wednesday - Ground Beef Tacos
Thursday - ????
Friday - Salsa Chicken
Saturday - Ribs, potatoes and veggies
Now a little reflection on last week:
Bolded means went as planned, or I have lined it out and added.
Sunday - Spaghetti at Mom's
Monday - Little Manuel's (using a Restaurant.com certificate)
Tuesday - Navy Bean soup (with Ham) ... basically just took the beans (after soaking for 24 hours... as I got busy and forgot) and put in the crockpot with the ham (had been frozen about 10 months) cut into pieces I did not have any fresh root veggies to add except celery. But when going through the spice cabinet to find the bay leaves I found some Dried Vegetables and Dried Onion ... it worked out great! The soup was FABULOUS, even the kids ate it! I also added chicken soup base to the water for more flavor. Made a huge crock pot full and now we have leftovers in the freezer for a quick meal.
Wednesday - Tortalini with Marinara sauce (Trader Joes and Ragu!)
Thursday - Meatballs and gravy with Mashed Potatoes and Peas & Carrots Ordered Pizza and went to a friends house.
Friday - Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya (Zataran's Rice mix - with an extra cup of rice and two cups of water) Meatballs and gravy with Mashed Potatoes and Peas & Carrots (just a day late)
Saturday - BBQ??? (Saturday is just sounding so far away right now! I have to work so we may do a BBQ around lunch time before I leave). Then dinner would be leftovers. Leftovers (lunch) and we had a coupon for a free pizza so used that for dinner - well Adam and the girls - I had to work.
Oh yeah our goals for 2010 have yet to be posted but they are almost done!
If you have forgotten to check out my Krisi's Kreations blog lately be sure to head over there and see what great new things I have come up with lately.

Porcupine Meatballs
1 lb ground beef
½ cup rice
½ cup chopped onion
1 egg
1 tsp chili powder
A few shakes of onion powder
Salt & pepper
8 oz tomato sauce
8 oz water
Mix meat, rice, onion, egg, chili powder, onion powder, and salt & pepper together in a medium bowl. Form meat mixture into meatballs (I make them about golf ball size). Brown meatballs on all sides then pour tomato sauce over the tops. Add 8 oz of water to the pan, cover, and simmer on medium-low for 30-35 minutes.
