Monday: Broiled Tilapia Parmesan
Tuesday: Grilled Cheese With Tomatos, Peppers, and Basil served with (leftover) Beanless Chili
I'll make my little boy's grilled cheese with no peppers.
Wednesday: Barbecue Chicken Pizza and maybe Homemade Pizza Crust
We'll see if the crust actually gets made or not, I might be running into Kroger that day.
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Breakfast Food For Dinner (Eggs, Toast, and Fruit)
We love breakfast for dinner around here.
Boy.... is preparing dinner getting to be more and more of a chore as my due date approaches. By 5 PM I am so wiped out I don't feel like doing much of anything but kicking back on the couch. So I'm trying to find things I can prepare earlier in the day and just warm up at dinner. Or even better, trying to find things my husband can cook or pick up...see Tuesday and Wednesday. (*grin)* I have really got to get going with my crock pot. I've heard they can really make cooking easier.
Snack: Banana Crumb Muffins
These look delicious. I've had the recipe bookmarked for month. And I am going to force myself to get uop and make them in the morning.
Monday: Beanless Chili
I can cook this in in the morning when my energy level is much higher and then heat it up at dinner time.
Tuesday: Trout, Rice, and Green Beans
My husband will cook this one. He caught the fish this weekend and last weekend too (he loves to fish) and they are delicious! I need to ask him how he cooks the trout and post it.
Wednesday: Pizza Night
Do any of you have a Litte Caesars Pizza nearby? If so, they have large pizzas for 5.99 (pickup) and you don't have to call or anything. Just stop by and pick it up. (Or even better, have your husband stop by on his way home from work.) Talk about a nice treat for a pregnant lady!
Thursday: Chicken Pesto
Any of you that read this blog regularly, must think I live off of this dish, and I probably do. But it is so quick, so easy, and so cheap, it's hard not to prepare it often.
Friday: Leftover Night
Provided I don't scarf down the leftover pizza for lunch, we should have plenty left over to eat between the pizza and chicken pesto.

Finally!
Well Thanksgiving is over. I hope you all had a great one. I guess it's now time to start planning for Christmas! Before that, though, my family needs to eat, so my meal plan for this week includes...
Monday: Leftover Chicken Casserole from the freezer. (See the recipe here.)
This makes too big a meal for us to eat at once, so I freeze half of it and we eat it a couple of weeks later.
Tuesday: Crockpot Italian Chicken
I have been wanting to try this recipe for quite awhile. (You have to scroll down a little to find it.) It sounds delicious and very easy. I'll let you know how it is!
Wednesday: Leftovers
I am hoping for leftovers from the Italian chicken, if not, we'll have sandwiches or cereal and fruit.
Thursday: Tacos
We had leftover taco meat from two weeks agom which I froze. I'm going to thaw it and we'll have tacos again.
Friday: Dinner Out
I hope!

This week was pretty easy, planning wise, at least. With Thanksgiving, there wasn't all that much to think about after that meal was planned.
I'm hosting Thanksgiving Dinner at my house for the first time ever. It really won't be that big a deal since my family's pretty small. It'll just be my husband, son, mom, dad, and brother, but it should still be fun. I'm pretty excited anyway.
Monday: Chicken Pesto (See the recipe here.)
Tuesday: Dinner out
Wednesday: Cereal & Fruit (We'll be saving our calories for tomorrow!)
Thursday: Turkey Dinner, We'll also be having:
Sweet Potato Casserole
Corn Casserole
Green Beans
Congealed Salad (See the recipe here--it's good, easy and kids love it)
Dinner Rolls
Cranberry Dressing
Dessert (not sure what that will be just yet)
Friday: Leftovers, What else??

My second week at MPM..... It worked great last week, we actually stuck to the plan.
Monday: Taco Ring (See recipe here.)
Tuesday: Breakfast Foods
(Scrambled Eggs, Hashbrowns, and Fruit)
Wednesday: Barbecue Chicken Pizza (See recipe here.)
(I love this recipe and I'm planning on trying out this crust this time.)
Thursday: Whatever you can find.... you eat.
We do this quite often, I like cereal for dinner sometimes and my husband likes soup, so some nights we just eat whatever is available. It saves money and time. My son is still too little to really notice (or care) that we're not having a "real" meal.
Friday: Dinner Out (We never made it to Chic Fila to use our coupons last week, so we're going this week instead. Woohoo.. big night out for us! *Smile*)

I've been reading Org. Junkie's site for quite awhile and have found some super recipes by reading over people's Menu Plans, but have never posted before, since my blog is just a baby, a little over a month old.
I went way over-budget with groceries last week, so I am trying to use what we have and stay out of the stores this week.
Monday: Chicken Casserole (See the recipe here.)
Tuesday: Spaghetti (From freezer)
Wednesday: Leftovers (Between the casserole and spaghetti, we'll have plenty.)
Thursday: Breakfast Foods (We love eating breakfast for dinner. And we're having this recipe. It's delicious!)
Friday: Dinner out (We have a toddler, so this probably means using some coupons at Chic Fil A, but it's still a nice break from cooking and doing dishes!)
