Menu Plan Monday!



Yet another Monday means yet another Menu Plan! I may not always post about it but I do always make a menu plan, shop for the week and keep us away from the fast food last minute stop as much as possible. This week I'm even further ahead of the game...I did all my grocery shopping for the week today so I'm ready and set for the whole week!

We've been pretty darn busy lately but this week we have a bit of an easy week and I am super grateful. I have a back log of crafty stuff I would really love to work on and the boys have been going going going with fun activities and that means we all go go go along with them. A quiet week before the Christmas storm is much needed!

Here's our week.....not fancy but certainly delish!

  • Sunday-Granny's Chili Soup (my Mom's updated version) My Granny used to make this and it was delicious then and my Mom has improved on it over the years to the point where I can say it's the best chili I've ever had and my whole family agrees, and it makes great leftovers for hubby to take in his lunch for the week. Recipe coming up later in the week!
  • Monday-Asian Chicken with veggies and basmati rice, salad
  • Tuesday-Rigatoni with marinara, garlic bread, salad
  • Wednesday-Basil Burgers with baked potatoes and broccoli
  • Thursday-Baked chicken nuggets with mashed potatoes, green beans and biscuits

EDIT-Since I wrote this post we had a change of plans and visited a local burger joint named Bard's Burgers on a whim. (It was a delicious whim, by the way!) So everything here gets shifted forward a day.

We LOVE basil burgers! They are Michael's go-to burger to make :)
Bard's is yummy too..I haven't been in ages, now I have a hankering.
Here's our menu (from last week) - I highly recommend the truckstop chili recipe!
