It's Monday- time for another menu plan Monday hosted by Orgjunkie.Last week's menu went pretty well, although I did have to rearrange some days due to crazy schedules, but for those who wonder the Santa Fe chicken was fantastic (although next time I think I'll serve it over rice or noodles), the potato soup was sooo good (even though I did have a melt down because I thought it tasted too much like flour at first- you have to make a rouge (???) and I had never done that before- but hubby gave it an A+!!!) and the Hawaiian pork roast is going to be done today instead!
Classes resume for me today at NKU so this week's menu isn't incredibly amazing or even 100% set in stone, but by looking at the pantry this is what it looks like we'll be eating this week!
Monday 1/14: Hawaiian pork roast, festive rice, stemmed broccoli
Tuesday 1/15: chili, corn bread
Wednesday 1/16: breakfast casserole, fruit salad
Thursday 1/17: herbed chicken (recipe on the back of the Lipton savory herb soup mix box!), potatoes, green beans
Friday 1/18: chicken and tomatoe rice soup
(This recipe is sooo easy and sooo good! You take 5 cans of chicken and rice soup- don't add the water, 2 cans of chopped tomatoes- 1 with jalapeno if you want a little kick, 1 0r 2 cans chunk chicken. Mix it all together and heat 20 minutes @ a simmer. Serve with corn chips or tortilla chips and shredded cheese!!! YUMMO!!!)
Saturday 1/19: Date night! Kids with Grandparents!
Sunday 1/20: No idea! Probably whatever we didn't eat during the week or leftovers!
So there it is! Here's to a week of good eating! For more great menu ideas check out Orgjunkie's website!

that sounds yummy!!..you have to share your recipe for hawaiin pork roast!
You're inspiring me to actually maybe try and stick to my menu plans and make them a little less ambitious. But who really wants to know that we go out to dinner 3x a week at least :) I guess we're supposed to be dating right!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting me today. I think you chicken and tomato rice soup recipe sounds great! I bet I can use it as a base for getting rid of other canned goods in my pantry!
Jennifer, I love that soup recipe. It was given to me by a dear friend when I got married and it is wonderful! Enjoy!
Lean, the hawaiian pork roast recipe is from Simple and Delicious magazine. I'll post it tomorrow when I let everyone know if it was any good!
Bert- keep it simple girl! It's better that way!
