Menu Plan for the Week
By Laura on Jun 29, 2008 in Menu Plans
Well, I wonder how Organizing Junkie is getting along on this, her second day of being unplugged?! I’ll bet she’s having a great time on her vacation with her family (even if she is having computer withdrawals)! I’m interested to know what’s on her vacation menu…. 
In the meantime, I am super honored and excited to host Menu Plan Monday here at Heavenly Homemakers!
I was terribly sick all last week, and I’m feeling much better, just a bit low on energy still. Therefore, as I was planning the meals this week, I asked my boys, “What meals sound good for YOU to make this week?!”
I made the mistake of asking this question right at bedtime, so they felt like they really should stay up later and keep on helping Mommy plan the meals (”Wait, we still need to think of more…”).
Here’s what we came up with together:
Sunday, June 29
Oatmeal
Sloppy joes, fruit
Frozen fruit milk shakes
Monday, June 30
Applesauce muffins, bananas
Ham and cheese melts, grapes
Cheesy beef and rice, green beans
Tuesday, July 1
Whole wheat pancakes
Tuna salad on tortillas, watermelon
Deer steak, steamed carrots, peas
Wednesday, July 2
Scrambled eggs, oranges
Nachos, cantaloupe
Shepherds pie, tossed salad
Thursday, July 3-Saturday July 5.…we’re headed to Oklahoma for another family reunion. We’ll pack sandwiches for the road and about 37 other snacks since that’s what the boys think we do on trips. Once we’re there, I’m not sure what’s planned…but I’m guessing it involves lots of hot dogs, hamburgers, salads…and I KNOW there will be homemade ice cream!
How about you? Do you have lots of yummy weekend plans?
What’s on your menu this week?

I am so jealous of your deer steak night! I grew up in a house full of hunters and deer was a staple in our diet. Dh does not hunt and my uncles and grandfather have all aged past hunting years. I sure do miss it! Enjoy!!
Thanks so much for hosting this week!!! I am going to have to give your applesauce muffin recipe a try-it looks great.

I noticed last week someone was having a hashbrown casserole but now I cant find it now that I want to make it.
Can someone point me in the right direction I remember it had hashbrowns, of course, hamburger, sourcream and cheese I believe and probably some more ingredients. It sounded so good but now I cant find it anywhere.
Please help

Thanks for hosting this week. I’m late posting, though I had the post ready to go, for the most part, last Friday…then company came and I got side-tracked playing with baby twins. More fun than menu planning.
