Menu Plan Monday


This weekend I finally flipped through some magazines from a friend that had lots of recipes--Real Simple and Clean Eating.  I love Real Simple, but sometimes my kids don't care for the recipes, but I think found some good ones. 

The first one (fresh tomato-sausage pasta) was actually just an ad, but it looked so good I had to google it.  And the last one (slow cooker chicken tacos) was something my same friend had made at a party Friday night.  So, thanks friend!   Although tomorrow morning at 7am I won't be thanking her because we are working out with the trainer.  So, while you are still in bed or getting the kids ready for school, I may be passed out on a concrete floor under a pile of weights.  I'll try to stay positive. 

Here is our menu for the week.  All of it makes me happy!  Make sure you check out http://www.orgjunkie.com/ for Menu Plan Monday to find more exciting new recipes.  That is how I found the casserole listed below.  It's a fantastic resource for menu planning. 

Fresh Tomato-Sausage Pasta and salad/fresh vegetables with dip
Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos
(or at least that's what I'm calling it. 
I am tossing chicken breast, salsa, black beans and corn into the slow cooker)

Happy menu planning!

  1. I do the slow cooker chicken tacos, minus the black beans because nobody here eats beans, but I add 1/4 to 1/2 brick of cream cheese at the end. So good!
