Busy week ahead!!

I thought things would slow down once school was out. I wasn't thinking about all the BUSY things that go on during summer...June especially!! T-Ball, Softball, Baseball, practice for all of the ball teams, Library story-time (X2 age groups!) are just a few of the things that keep me busy. Since I know we will be BUSY, I thought I should plan some meals so that I can make sure I have the stuff on hand for some quick meals! So...here goes!

Monday: Italian chicken packets on the grill, Italian bread and salads (Mom & Dad are coming to visit!! Yippee!)

Tuesday: Panini's for lunch. Supper will be BLT's (maybe) or Pizza Hut buffet (then ball games)

Wednesday: Warren will be at LYF so the kids and I are on our own...probably sandwiches.

Thursday: more ball games, so quick hamburgers and fruit

Friday: Spaghetti and salads (spaghetti squash so that my husband can eat with us!!)

Menu plan....TUESDAY

NEED TO GET BACK TO COOKING!!
NEED TO GET BACK TO BLOGGING!!

Shall I get two birds with one stone, so-to-speak?

OK, so here is the plan for this week. Hubby is going back to low-carb after being sick for a while, so here's the plan...

Monday (no low-carb): Spaghetti and garlic bread
Tuesday: Meatloaf, asparagus, and mac-n-cheese (Hubby can't eat the mac, but that's ok)
Wed: (Hubby is out with the youth group) Chicken pot pie
Thursday: Roast, salad, and maybe potatoes for the kids
Friday: (Hubby out of town...maybe the kids and I will go out!)

That's the plan...now to stick to it!

Menu Plan Monday

I WILL COOK THIS WEEK! Come on, say it with me now...I WILL cook this week!!! Too many trips to Wendy's, Pizza Hut, and too many corn dogs in our lives the past few weeks!! I WILL cook this week!!! Here are my plans:

Monday: Tamale Slow Cooker Casserole

Tuesday: 10 Minute Fettucini

Wed: Hubby is having pizza with the youth group, so I'll do Pizza Pockets with the kids

Thurs: hmm...haven't decided, possibly pork chops and baked potatoes

Friday: Hubby won't be home, so the kids and I are on our own...possibly their all-time favorite, Mac-N-Cheese

Nothing fancy...just home-cooked. Cheaper and healthier than fast food. All meals will also offer some sort of veggie and/or fruit.

Menu Plan Monday

Gonna try this again...haven't been doing this lately, end up eating too many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!!

Breakfast (this is what I will fix for the kiddos, I am drinking a slim-fast for breakfast, Hubby has his own breakfast supplies)

Tues: Chocolate chip muffins from freezer (made a double batch two weeks ago...YUMMY)

Wed: Pancakes (make a triple batch, freeze most for later)

Thurs: Bagels

Fri: Cereal

Sat: Cheesy eggs/omletts (each chooses)

Sun: pancakes (from freezer)

Lunch...everyone chooses their own (sandwiches, corn dogs, mac-n-cheese, etc)

Dinner

Mon: up for grabs (everyone chose whatever they wanted)

Tues: eating out (van being worked on in the 'city' so Hubby gets to choose where we eat to celebrate Father's day)

Wed: spaghetti squash with alfredo sauce, ooey goey cheesy bread and a salad.

Thurs: Tacos (with a salad for some...taco salads for others!)

Friday: Pizza

Saturday: Grill out hamburgers, brats, etc...maybe at the lake, maybe not (I DON'T want poison ivy again!)

Memu plan Monday

Tomorrow is another BUSY day...I'm going to do a preschool observation to help with my certification. So...if I'm going to do a weekly meal plan, I'd better do it now!

Monday: Busy night with meetings...leftover buffet!

Tuesday: Chicken pot pie

Wednesday: Hubby at LYF, kiddos and I will raid the fridge

Thursday: Spaghetti and ooie-goooie cheesy bread

Friday: Date night? Girls night out? If not, I'm going to make it an "at-home date night" and fix steak and baked potato for Warren and I...kiddos will enjoy something equally yummy to the kiddos palate...either mac-n-cheese or hot dogs.

This week's weather looks to be cool and rainy...if any nights prove beautiful, we'll head to the lake for fishing, grilling out, fresh air, and fun...so any of these nights might be vetoed in favor of hamburgers!

Menu Plan...Sunday??

I know, I know, it is not Monday, but that's ok, I'm going to plan my menu anyway.
Monday: Chicken Tetrazinni...or at least my version!
Tuesday: Smoked Sausage skillet dinner (potatoes, onions, corn, smoked sausage, and cheese, YUMMY!) and fresh bread
Wednesday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUBBY!!! He will be celebrating with the youth group, so the kids and I will just do pb&j's or leftovers.
Thursday: Andrew's wrestling banquet...I'm taking a taco salad to share.
Friday: Sloppy Joe's and french fries
Saturday: I'm hoping to take Hubby out to dinner for his birthday, just a tad bit late.

Menu Plan Monday

I know it is Tuesday, but I just didn't get this typed out yesterday...it was in my head, but not on the 'puter! So....just in case you're curious about what the Prochnow's will be eating this week, here it is:

Monday: Pizza pockets
Tuesday: Hubby will be in Bazine, kids and I will have a clean out the fridge night.
Wednesday: Out to dinner...we got great coupons for $.99 meals for the kids.
Thursday: Maundy Thursday...Spaghetti and ooey gooey cheesey bread
Friday: Good Friday...Tortilla bake

Menu Plan Monday

I'm very excited about this week...the weather is supposed to be beautiful!! And since the weather is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL, we are planning our first outing (of 2008) to the lake! We LOVE going to the lake for the evening (a nice little state park about 10 miles from home) for a little fishing, grilling out, and smores! So..here is what is on the menu this week, although I don't want to be inside cooking this week!

Monday: Sloppy joes, carrots/celery, fruit

Tuesday: LAKE! Grilling of hamburgers/hot dogs, chips, fruit, smores

Wednesday: Lenten soup supper at church, I don't have to cook!

Thursday: Hubby will be gone, so the kids and I will have either a leftover buffet, or pb&j's...maybe a picnic at the park!

Friday: If the weather is still nice, we will probably head to the lake again! If not, I will make homemade pizza's

Menu plan Monday

Here is what's on the menu for this week...

Monday: Soft Tacos

Tuesday: Chicken Pot pie

Wednesday: Lenten supper at church...I'm providing the sandwiches and dessert. I am planning a "Super Sub" or two (BIG sandwiches on French bread) and a pan of brownies

Thursday: Leftover buffet

Friday: GIRLS NIGHT OUT!! PLEASE let this happen! I missed out on my retreat and my massage...I REALLY want to go out with my friends!!!!

Menu Plan Monday

What is for supper this week?? HMMM...let me think...

Monday: Bacon-cheeseburger meatloaf and macaroni and cheese. Carrots and ranch dressing for the kiddos and a salad for hubby and I
Tuesday: Spaghetti pizza and ooey gooey cheesy bread, salad
Wednesday: Lenten dinner at church...I don't have to cook!
Thursday: Hubby is out of town this evening for a meeting, so it's just the kiddos and I, probably a combination of corn dog for Abbigail, PB& J for Andrew, and mac&cheese leftovers for Bethany. I'll see what else I can find that tickles my fancy....basically a fend for yourself night! (although I still fix the kids food...
Friday: The girls and I are going out of town, so Andrew and Hubby are on their own.

Menu Plan Monday

It's Monday! Time to plan the weekly menu....it's going to be a BUSY week! Warren will only be home for dinner one night, Tuesday...so I am planning our "Valentine's Dinner" for that night. All the other nights will be just the kiddos and me.

Monday: Pizza party at 4-H...no cooking!

Tuesday: Steak, Baked potatos, fresh homemade bread, corn, and mushrooms

Wednesday: Lenten soup supper at church...no cooking!

Thursday: Spaghetti & ooey goey cheesy bread, red jello, something else red?? :o)

Friday: I'm going to be visiting my family in Wichita! :-) Yippee!

I am also making Valentine's cookies for Bethany to take to her school Valentine's party, and for the other two kiddos to take to their teachers. I love making sugar cookies, but they are a bit time consuming!

Menu Plan Monday

It is Monday again! Another week, another menu...what's on the plan for this week?

Monday: soft tacos
Tuesday: Shrove Tuesday...pancake supper at church (no cooking or cleaning up for me! The men serve this meal!!)
Wednesday: Tortilla bake
Thursday: Happy Chinese New Year! In honor of this holiday I'm going to try my hand at some Chinese food...Ham fried rice and chicken stir fry
Friday: Maybe I'll get that date night this week! If not, I'll make pizza pockets for the family.

Menu Plan Monday

I know I said I wasn't going to be around for a few days, but...well, last week I didn't do the MPM, and the entire week seemed very disorganized. Now, mind you, I am an organizationally challenged person, but this was ridiculous. It was 5 or later before I even thought about dinner most days. We ended up eating out one night, and did mainly sandwiches/corn dogs most other nights. That's just ridiculous! So...I NEED to do this!

Monday: Sloppy joes, french fries, oranges

Tuesday: Spaghetti & ooey gooey cheesy bread

Wednesday: leftovers or pb&j's (Warren is with the youth group for pizza, so it's just the kids and me!)

Thursday: Taco's

Friday: I'm hoping for either a girls' night out, or a date night so I'm planning on NOT cooking this night!

Nothing fancy, nothing hard, hopefully stuff my children will eat! I'm usually more creative than this, but this week seems to be even busier than usual!

Menu Plan Monday

Last week's Menu plan worked really well! I realized I was out of hamburger, so the sloppy joe night didn't happen, but we are expecting 1/2 beef from the processor this week, so that will be taken care of! I'm going to try to do this week without needing to go to the grocery store for anything. Plus, hubby is out of town till tomorrow night, he has youth group on Wed, and he has a youth retreat on Fri-Sat...so it's just the kids and I most of the week for dinner.

Monday: Quesadillas (chicken for me, mostly cheese for the kids)

Tuesday: PB&J's oranges and apples (VERY busy night...go from one activity to the other with no breaks, Brownies, 4-H, wrestling practice...hubby will be home sometime this evening)

Wednesday: Grilled Cheese sandwiches and Tomato soup

Thursday: (if our meat is in) grilled steaks, baked potatoes, corn (if no meat, then chicken pot pie)

Fri: I'm going to take the kids out for pizza!

Menue Plan Monday

Well, here goes more of those goals for the year. I said that I wanted to better manage my home, and that includes cooking. So, I'm planning my menu for the week. Nothing fancy, just yummy food I hope my children will eat!!

Monday: Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn. (I've been craving this!!!)

Tuesday: Sloppy Joes, fruit, chips

Wednesday: Warren has youth group pizza parties on Wed, so the kids and I usually just raid the fridge for leftovers and PB&J's

Thursday: Lasagna Casserole, ooey-gooey cheesy bread, salad

Friday: Homemade pizza
