Make My Menu Monday 9/10/12

OK- I know, it's Tuesday but I am still going to call it Make My Menu Monday :) Yesterday was just one of those CrAzY days!!  Even with the best plan sometimes there just isn't enough time to get everything done!!
So here is our menu for the week!!

You may notice that on my grocery list side I don't list all ingredients for each meal- this is because I make some things ahead of time. Like my Taco Meat and Mini Meatloaf. Those meals I make a BIG batch of once a month and then freeze them. Then it is really easy just to reheat on our busy weeknights. The taco meat I just throw into the Crockpot frozen on low & it is ready to go by dinner.

Monday: Tacos

Tuesday: BBQ chicken Sandwiches, Green Beans

This was on the menu from last week, but we never had it. We ended up eating leftovers on that night.
I have a large bag of frozen chicken breasts, I put in however many I need into the Crockpot with a small amount of water or chicken broth. Cook it for about 3-4 hours until it's done. It just shreds really easy and makes perfect BBQ sandwich meat!  I then add BBQ sauce and some spices.

Wednesday- Taco Salads, Nachos & Black beans

Leftover taco meat from Monday- just made into salads!

Thursday- BLEATS, Sweet Potato Chips and Rasberries

Bacon, Lettuce, Egg, Avocado & Tomato Sandwich

Sweet Potato Chips
Thinly slice a sweet potato. Put on a sprayed baking sheet. Add Sea Salt & Pepper or whatever spice you like. Cook for 25-30 min on 375

Friday- Mini Meatloaf, Baked Red Potatoes & Broccoli

Mini Meatloaf

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 c bread crumbs
• 1/4 c water
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 3/4 c bbq sauce
• 3/4 c shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 375
Mix meat, bread crumb, water, seasoning, & half of bbq sauce
Press into muffin cups & add a small spoonful of remaining bbq sauce to top of each meatloaf
Bake 30 min, top with cheese and cook for 5 more min (or until the cheese has melted)

Saturday- Pizzadillas, Salad & Strawberries

Pizzadillas
Just take a tortilla- put on some pizza sauce, cheese, & any pizza topping that you like- then put another tortilla on top. I make ours in a quesadilla maker, but it works fine to make them on a skillet also, just flip once you see the cheese is melting.

Sunday- Hot Ham & Cheese, Tomato soup & salad

Hot Ham & Cheese-
I make them just like grilled cheese but with ham also. The key is using sourdough bread- it makes them DELICIOUS!!!

Tomato Soup-
Maybe some day I will make it from scratch, but for now I use a can of tomato soup and add basil, pepper & top it will some shredded cheese
