MPM

Wow. I've been gone from MPM for quite sometime. I have still planned them, somewhat, but we have been freakishly busy with the start of school, and finishing a remodel project from the first of the year. Thank goodness it is almost complete!!

I will post pictures of my new laundry room when it is done....it sure is looking awesome!

So, here is my menu for the upcoming week. I've got a lot of newbies so I will post the recipes/links.

This time I am not actually going to post days with my menus, because for one reason or another, it never works out the way I planned it. Instead, I will just have menus to pick from daily.

*Pot Roast~ I do mine in the crockpot, throw in potatoes and carrots, sometimes celery. I add onion soup mix, brown gravy mix and water. I also dash it with peppper. Salad. Homemade Bread.

*Bierocks. I came across this on Grocery Cart Challenge. Gayle has a lot of frugal/yummy sounding recipes. I've nabbed a lot from her this week! Go check her out. I will also serve this with salad.

*King's Surprise. To most people this is known as Goulash, but not me. Growing up Mom did most of the cooking. Not this dish. Dad made it, because he added a special/secret ingredient and he had that special touch to make it that much better....I've not made it since my dad passed..but I think it is time. Love ya, Dad!

*Broccoli Chicken Casserole. Basically this is what I am doing: Diced/cooked chicken, broccoli, cream of mushroom soup with about 1/2 to 1 cup of milk added, cheddar cheese, cooked egg noodles or pasta of choice, pepper, paprika and basil. Throw it all in a casserole dish. Bake.

*Crockpot Chicken. Mashed Potatoes. Homemade bread. For the chicken, I'm just using the frozen/bagged boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 tsp soy sauce, jar of turkey gravy, seasoned salt and throwing it in the crockpot. This will work great for Wednesday's meal because my son has a doctor appointment after school so there won't be much time to get a meal done.

*Chickaritos. These sound divine!! This is a new one for us and I'm really looking forward to them with homemade guacamole and salsa.

*Tuna Salad served in Pita Bread with fruit salad.

Also, I'm really getting into this breakfast thing! Go me! Hopefully I will get better at bulk cooking so that I can cook and freeze a lot of random breakfasts to shave off some time in the morning.

Here is what I have in mind for the upcoming week:

*French Toast Bake. No pecans though.

*Chocolate Chip Muffins (I want to make a load of them, and freeze 'em)

*Egg, ham, hashbrown casserole.

*Pancakes.
