Making meals and menu planning has always been one of the things that I always avoid. My husband is a busy guy, and he usually leaves all the menu planning to me. It’s hard sometimes, because I don’t want to make things that he doesn’t enjoy eating. We tend to get in the same pattern of eating similar things week after week. That’s why I enjoy participating in Menu Plan Monday. It’s a great way to share your meals with others, and get some new ideas as well! My family enjoys a lot of chicken, so I am always looking for new, healthy ways to make it. I have some great recipes on Menu Plan Monday. And the bonus? Menu planning saves you money in the long run, because you are not constantly running to the store. Time and gas are both saved, and you have more time to spend with your family. So please take a moment to read my menu plan for the week of January 27th.
Sunday~ Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and carrots(I just want to add a comment that most Sunday meals are made by my MIL, not me)
Monday~Easy Chicken Alfredo ~I am modifying this recipe to use linguine noodles, instead of penne pasta, just for a change of pace.
Tuesday~Chicken fajitas
Wednesday~ Buffalo Chicken Cheese steaks in the crockpot. Another adopted recipe from here. I just throw all the ingredients(I substitute whole frozen chicken breasts) in the crockpot on low for 6-8 hours. Fifteen minutes before hubby comes home, I shred the chicken, toss it back in the crockpot and add the cheese. I serve it on steak sandwich rolls.
Thursday~Sausage and corn
Friday~TBD
Saturday~TBD

So, what’s cooking in your home this week?
Another great week of meals. Sunday is the day that my mom does the cooking, I always say it is a fabulous meal, because I didn’t have to cook it. lol I am going to have to try the Buffalo Chicken Cheese. Thanks for sharing and have a fabulous Monday!

These all sound so delicious. We do our menu planning on the weekend, so perhaps I’ll have to follow along a week behind.

I’ve been using eMeals.com for our meal planning since the new year. We have already saved a lot of money and have much more variety in our menus. I love it!

Hubby is very particular about what he likes to eat. Is eMeals a paid site? I’d be afraid to try that because he is very hesitant about trying new recipes.
Looks like a good menu. Chicken Fajitas sound yummy!

They really are! I will try to take pictures tomorrow while I am making them, and get the recipe posted with pictures later this week. Thank you for stopping in!
Your chicken alfredo sounds great! And the chicken fajitas. Yum!
We go to my in-laws on Saturdays, and it is nice not having to cook for one day.

The alfredo last night was beyond good! The kids staked a claim to the leftovers tonight. Can’t say I blame them!
