Menu Plan - April 11-17

Spring is finally here to stay! And with it, a coating of yellow pollen on everything. And I mean everything. If the dog stays outside too long, she comes in and shakes it off onto the floor!

But I'm so thankful for the warmer weather and the gorgeous colors. Our dogwoods are in full bloom and the azaleas are getting ready to burst out with color. The trees greened up almost overnight. I love it!

This week's menu plan is simple. Last week I cooked for seven extra people who were staying with us, so I'm giving myself a break! The hamburgers, chicken and meatballs were all prepared ahead of time and frozen, so it's only a matter of thawing and reheating.

Here's the plan:

Sunday
Beef stir-fry, rice

Monday
Tacos, tortilla chips

Tuesday
Chinese chicken, rice

Wednesday
Grilled hamburgers, home fries

Thursday
Grilled chicken, green beans, squash

Friday
Pasta and meatballs, cheesy garlic breadsticks

Saturday
Steamed fish, broccoli

  1. Okay, I commented on the post below this one, but decided I needed to stop by here and say, your menus sound delicious! Do you provide takeout? Just Kidding...maybe. Everything does sound good.

    Blessings!
