Menu Plan Monday - 5/10

mpm3

I can't believe it is already Sunday. I still have not adjusted back to Wednesday's off. I had Tuesday off for the longest time (since last November) and since I no longer need Tuesday's I get what ever day works in the schedule at work - which is usually Wednesday. My oldest daughter goes to preschool on MWF. So this past week I worked Monday and Tuesday then Wednesday Adam stayed home because his back hurt and so wanted to sleep in. I not even realizing (at all) what day it was - except I didn't need to give a shot - rushed the girls out of the house and headed off to do errands (Wal-Mart, Staples and Trader Joe's). On our way back (around 2pm) I see kids walking down the street, I thought to myself why are kids out so early today? They are only out early on Wednesday and today is not... oh crud it is Wednesday and out loud blurts, "I didn't take you to school today". Rebecca blew up at me, screaming, crying I wanted to go to school and you're mean and didn't take me! Trust me that wasn't my intention. It would have been so much easier to do all the errands with one child! I could not believe I had forgotten to take her! Moral of that story: look at your calendar better and when you screw up don't say it out loud!

So ... my days are just off and I have no idea when I will figure it all out again! This week I also have Monday off so that will throw me off even more!

Anyway onto the menu...
          (all photos from allrecipes.com)

Sunday - Roast beef, corn casserole, green beans and rice (at mom's)

Broccoli Beef

Monday - Broccoli Beef - I make this ahead (buying the meat when on sale) and freeze. I add everything except the can of beef broth and broccoli to a ziploc freezer bag and then defrost and cook the meat and add in the broth and broccoli.

Tuesday - Pasta Lasagna with fresh bread (watch for a recipe on the bread next week)

Wednesday - BBQ chicken with potato salad and salad

Spanish Rice 

Thursday - Chicken Enchiladas with Spanish Rice

 

Friday - Pork Chops with Applesauce and Mashed Potatoes (Rachel loves mashed potatoes - so I have been trying to have them more frequently)

Saturday - Chicken Cordon Bleu with quinoa
