One of the regular memes I participated in on my old food blog MomCooks was Menu Monday, created by Laura of I’m an Organizing Junkie. Every week, hundreds of bloggers link up their weekly meal plans, so if you’re stuck on what to fix for dinner, it’s a great place to find new ideas!
This is what I’m planning to make this week:
Monday: Baked fish fillets, garlic mashed potatoes, steamed peas
Tuesday: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, garlic toast, steamed corn
Wednesday: Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas, mexican rice
Thursday: Crockpot BBQ Chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans
Friday: Pizza night
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Sloppy Joes, baked fries, salad
What are you making this week? Send me your easy, family-friendly recipes any time!

Ugh, I really need to start doing Monday menu plans, but I’m honestly more of a wing-it kind of gal. I cook for my freezer so often that the rest of the week I basically rummage around in the fridge to find what I need to use up, look for something in the freezer to go with it, and throw it together a half hour before we eat.
I need more [albacore] tuna ideas. Turns out half a cow in November just ain’t gonna cut it (we’re almost out!) for the hollow-legged crowd. Sigh. So now I need to move through all my other proteins in the pantry and freezer.
Having read your menu gave me the idea of what to prepare for the coming days. Sometimes I stick to my one week menu, sometimes I can’t. It’s so frustrating when I can’t cook what’s on my menu but as long as my family enjoys what is on the table then I become happy. I’m still trying my best to stick with my one week menu though.
