Spring is here . . . the weather is warmer and things are getting crazier. Sunday was ABSOLUTELY beautiful outside and I got almost nothing on my to-do list done. I did get to the grocery store, though, which means that I have everything that I need for this week's menu!
I've decided to also link up on I'm an Organizing Junkie's Menu Plan Monday!
So here are the recipes I found on the internet to make this week . . . my menu for a CRAZY BUSY week! Wish me luck!
Monday - Baked Fried Chicken . . . it looks REALLY yummy! I'm also planning on some garlic bread and Caesar salad, too!
Tuesday - Chili . . . this is actually Jerry's turn to cook and the pressure is on this week! He is going to whip up a batch of his "famous to us" Chili. I don't really have a recipe to share with you but I will try to get him to put it together (think I could talk him into a guest post?!?!?!)
Wednesday - Beef Stroganoff . . . oddly enough, my kids LOVE Beef Stroganoff! They will be excited about this one! Plus, I get to stick it in the slow cooker so it will cook while I'm working all day and will be ready for me to eat before I head back out for work in the evening. (It's Art Show time at our preschool!)
Thursday - Eat at Nana's or have some leftovers. I have to work on Thursday (all day and again that evening) and the kids will be at my MIL's house . . . again. Being the saint that she is (no, I'm not exaggerating) she will probably feed the kids and have something for me if I stop in before heading out again, too!
Friday - Tuna Cornbread Cakes . . . Yes, I know Lent is over but we still have a crap load (it's a real unit of measurement, right?) of tuna left so I figured we would give this recipe a shot. I even bought the stuff for the Lemon Aioli!
Saturday - There is a chance . . . that we may be going OUT to eat on Saturday. Rumor has it that my Mom and Dad want to take EVERYONE (basically me, Jerry, my sister and the 5 kids) out for pizza at our favorite pizza place! Mmmmm....
Sunday - Chicken and Barley Stew . . . this is a quick recipe that I'm planning on just throwing together while I cook for the week on Sunday. I'm going to try to do a 5 day cooking day on Sunday with my sister. I'll keep you posted on how it goes! :)
There you have it - what's for dinner this week on My Finds Monday!
Let me know if you plan on or try any of the recipes! I'd love to hear what you thought, too!

That baked fried chicken sounds so good! Definitely checking it out! Have you seen the Skinny Taste recipe for healthy chicken nuggets? I made them last week and they were a hit!
ReplyDeleteLove this for a Monday series and yes, get your husband to guest post that chili recipe--I need a good one. Also, I am really feeling this pizza night happening for you on Sat.--oh yeah, it's definitely in the cards! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to post some pictures of the pizza if we go . . . it's impressive! :) I feel more and more confident it is going to happen, too!
ReplyDeleteI'll try to get him to post the recipe and to maybe snap some pics while he's making it. Blogging 101 for hubby to get a guest post done! :)
I haven't seen that recipe! My kids LOVE nuggets and actually prefer healthy ones (that taste like real chicken) instead of the fake ones - they despise McDonald's Chicken nuggets...won't touch them!
