Menu Plan Monday

We’ll all be at home this week and we have our first Christmas of the year on Saturday. I really can’t believe it’s already Christmas!

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

  • Murphy’s Hot Hamburger; Potato spears; Greens
  • Mexican casserole; Salad
  • Hamburger patties in mushroom gravy; Brown rice; Greens
  • Drip beef sandwiches; fried okra

I feel like I’ve been in a culinary rut, so I’ve decided to use recipes I received as wedding shower gifts. I’ll use one new recipe every week until I’ve used them all. There are really only five or so that I haven’t tried yet, but this will be a good push to try something new!

The new recipes this week are the Mexican casserole (shower) and Drip beef sandwiches (who else, The Pioneer Woman!). I’m really looking forward to those sandwiches!

Have a great week!

Menu Plan Monday

It’s been awhile since I’ve written out a full week’s worth of meals. While we’ve been getting by with my lack of planning, I feel much better now that my week is a little more planned out!

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

  • Sirloin Steak, grilled; Sweet Potato Spears; Greens from the garden (if there are any…)
  • Hawaiian Baked Chicken (a recipe from my Taste of Home cookbook); Rice; Frozen green beans
  • Loco Moco; Rice; Egg; Fried Okra
  • Chicken Fried Steak; Mashed Potatoes; Gravy; Corn; Salad
  • Murphy’s Hot Hamburger; Potato spears; Some green vegetable to be determined later.

I know I need to post more often, but we have been crazy busy with work and trying to finish up some remodel projects. So, I’ll make no promises for now!!

Have a great week!
