I actually dread Menu Monday. I know it is supposed to be a good thing, this planning ahead that I attempt to do.  Even so, it's stressful because I am the worst cook ever. Truly.

I feel like by putting the menu out there in cyberspace, I am compelled to follow through with the exact plan. But you know what? Life just doesn't always work that way. Things happen. Plans change.

{Sigh} I am going to keep posting the week's menu for now. Someone please offer me simple crockpot suggestions. My family is tiring of the same foods over and over again.

Monday- Pasta with sausage {except for me because I don't like red sauce} and salad

Tuesday- Beef stroganoff and salad

Wednesday- Hubby's night. Undecided.

Thursday- Hubby's night again. Still undecided.

Friday- Order in pizza

Saturday- Leftovers

Sunday- Chicken and noodles with pesto sauce and salad

See what I mean? This is a very boring menu. I need help.

Is anyone else tired of trying to be creative with turkey leftovers? UGH! Enough turkey!

Monday- Breakfast for supper.Pancakes and bacon. {Have you ever tried Kodiak Cakes? Seriously delicious pancakes!}

Tuesday- Grammy's homemade soup-either chicken noodle or beef stew.  Probably beef stew.

Wednesday- Pierogies and roast beef. {Seriously looking forward to the pierogies! I wish I knew somewhere to purchase them homemade.}

Thursday- Something with chicken.  Undecided. Suggestions?

Friday- Chinese take-out! {We love the food at Shanghai Tokyo! Even better- it's so close to home.}

Saturday- Make your own pizza night

Sunday- Meet the family for dinner after our nieces' dance recital  {This year, three of our niece are in dance.}

Oops! I'm a little late posting this today.  I had to take my son to the hospital at 10 PM last night, and we were there until 3 AM.  Needless to say, I'm not quite with it today.

So, what's on this week's menu?

Monday- Mac and cheese and salad (Yes, I know. Not the best I can do, but it had to do today.)

Tuesday- Lemon chicken, scalloped potatoes and salad

Wednesday- Going out to dinner

Thursday- THANKSGIVING DINNER!

Friday- Leftovers

Saturday- More leftovers

Sunday- Roast beef, green beans, buttered noodles, and applesauce

I need to get a little more creative with dinners next week.  Any suggestions?

Menu Monday

Monday- Fend for yourself day. I'm happy that with the boys being teenagers, I am able to give them certain responsibilities.  Preparing their own food is one of them.  Sure, we have had a few mishaps along the way- metal in the microwave, burned food, and overflowing pots of water, explosions in the microwave (don't ask). Those mishaps were learning experiences. :)

Tuesday- Chicken tacos. I found a recipe on Pinterest for crockpot chicken tacos, so I'm going to give it a try.

Wednesday- Leftovers (We really need to clean out the fridge!)

Thursday- Hamburger Helper.  Yes, I know this isn't a very healthy option, but the boys have been asking for it, so I'm adding it to this week's menu.

Friday- Homemade pizza night. I love when we do this! Everyone makes their own personal-sized pizza.  I'm thinking of trying a white pizza with pepperoni and pineapple.  What do you think?

Saturday- ???

Sunday- ???

I'm drawing a blank for those two days.  Any suggestions?

I am very fortunate to be married to a man who can cook. If it were up to me to do all of our cooking, my family would be begging for take-out every day! Honest. I'm that bad. Needless to say, the crockpot is my best friend in the kitchen. I rarely screw-up a crockpot recipe. :) I am going to attempt to make some of our meals this week.

Monday- Whole wheat pasta with pesto sauce and meatballs. Salad. Garlic bread.

Tuesday- Coke chicken in the crockpot. {I've made this one before. The entire family loves it!  Once the chicken is cooked, we shred it and pair it with a vinegar-based coleslaw on a bun.  Yum!}

Wednesday- Crockpot beef stroganoff.  This is one of my favorites. only two of us eat mushrooms, so I substitute cram of onion for the cream of mushroom soup.  Salad.

Thursday- Leftovers

Friday- Wedding Day for my brother, so dinner will be at the reception. :)

Saturday- Crockpot buffalo chicken sandwiches. {I make this one similar to the coke chicken.  Once it is done cooking, I shred the chicken and serve on a bun with ranch dressing.} Corn.

Sunday- Pork chops. {Not sure how we are preparing them yet.} Green beans.
