Menu Plan Monday 10/3

The weather has turned chilly here and I'm definitely craving my favorite comfort foods... how about you? :)


  • MONDAY:  DD's request: our family's favorite meatloaf  (I use torn fresh bread, not crumbs), my loaded smashed potatoes (cubed potatoes, boiled, lightly mashed but still chunky, combined with sour cream , chives, and cheddar cheese),  green beans
  • TUESDAY:  new recipe: Chicken Noodle Casserole, green beans  *Edited to add: as I was out surfing through other's menus, I spotted this Buttery Bread Machine Rolls recipe on Kendra's menu @ Happily Managing a Household of Boys.  I think it will go perfectly with this meal, so I'm adding it in!
  • WEDNESDAY: a new crockpot recipe: chuck roast, an envelope of gravy mix, Italian dressing mix, water.   I'll actually be substituting real Italian dressing and skipping the water- I think that will be fine.   I think we'll shred that and make wraps out of it (lettuce, cheese, etc.).  (If this entire menu entry looks familiar, it's because I'm copying and pasting it from a few weeks ago when we wound up skipping this meal!) 
  • THURSDAY: my very own recipe for General Tso's Chicken with stir-fried veggies and rice (kids will have Sweet and Sour sauce on theirs) 
  • FRIDAY:   leftovers or sandwiches & soup
  • SATURDAY: It's Pizza Night here every Saturday- we pretty much always have some variety of homemade pizza and tossed salad.

  3. Great menu!! The Chicken Noodle Casserole is for sure going to be a lunch item next week. That looks soo good!

    THANKS for stopping by! Your family will love the Buttery Rolls. I have a couple of friends who are always emailing me for the link because they like them, but keep losing the link. LOL

    A small hint: I sometimes add in fresh garlic or garlic powder for hint of Garlic Rolls! Very good both ways!

  5. Actually, I thought I had you on FB, but now I can't find your page again to like it. When I click on your FB button, it takes to a plugin page?
