{Menu Plan Monday} 4/15/13

Hello friends! I hope you all had a great weekend.  It's time for a new menu plan.  Here's what I plan on cooking this week.

Tuesday:  Pork Chops with Onion Gravy via Taste of Home, with mashed sweet potatoes and green beans.

Wednesday:  Cobb Salad Sandwich via Two Peas and Their Pod, served with chips.

Two Peas and Their Pod

Thursday:  Hamburger Vegetable Soup via my daddy.  Brown some ground beef, add tomatoes with juice, chicken or beef stock, whatever veggies you have on hand, and whatever spices you like.  This is kinda a clean out the fridge or freezer soup.  I usually always add green beans, carrots, potatoes and onions.  Then I add whatever may be in the fridge, cabinet or freezer.  You can shop up zucchini, add frozen corn.  There is no limit.  I almost always use italian spices, but I have given it a mexican twist in the past.  Yum!

Friday:  California Eggs Benedict via The Curvy Carrot.

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  It finally feels like Spring in my part of Arkansas and I am mostly recovered from the strep, ear infection and chest cold I had last week.  (I kinda felt like I was gonna die, not fun.)  Anyway, on to better things:  this week's menu.

Monday (meatless):  Poached Eggs with Spinach, Mushrooms and Walnuts via Cooking Light (via My Recipes).

Tuesday:  Skillet Ground Beef Stroganoff via Elly Says Opa.  Ok, I know, I have made this recipe several times, but it is truly yummy and a family favorite and the leftovers are AWESOME for lunch the next day.

Friday:  breakfast for dinner.  I'm thinking about making the Lemony Blueberry Waffles via The Gracious Pantry.

I am planning on trying another recipe for snack crackers I found in a magazine I got this weekend.  They are supposed to be like "Cheez-Its."  The recipe I used last week was so yummy!  I was going to post the results on Try-It Tuesday, but had a rough week.  Maybe I'll post it tomorrow along with the Happy Crackers recipe I tried today.

Thank you so much for stopping by,
