Make My Menu Monday 10/1/12

Fall is definitely in the air!  I LOVE being able to wear jeans and sweatshirts, see the leaves changing colors, and start making yummy "fall" food!  This year I really want to try more soup recipes- if anyone has any good ones, let me know!!

Well here is what is on our menu for the week!

Monday-

we had a family birthday dinner at my in-laws so no cooking for me-Thanks Debbe :)

Tuesday- Chili and Cinnamon Rolls

Chili-
2 lbs ground hamburger, browned and drained
2 cans Chili beans ( love Bush's mild chili beans)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 TBS Wahoo Chili Seasoning from Tastefully Simple

After hamburger is browned and drained, add the rest of the ingredients and simmer over stove-top or in crockpot! We serve with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of shredded cheese & crushed tortilla chips! YUM!!
Cinnamon Rolls- I take the easy way out and buy them, one of these days I will make them from scratch- again if anyone has a great recipe I would love to have it!!

Wednesday- Planned left overs or grab whatever!  

Our Wednesday evenings are extremely busy- so it is much easier to just warm something up in-between activities. So I will make sure to make plenty of Chili!

Thursday- Hot Ham & Cheese, Creamy Tortellini Soup & Garden Salad 

The secret to a GREAT Hot Ham & Cheese (as I found out from my neighbor) is using Sour Dough Bread- it makes a huge difference!

Creamy Tortellini Soup
I just found this recipe on Pinterest and will be trying it out on Thursday- it looks delish and am really excited about it!!

Garden Salad-
I just throw together spinach, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and avocado
