This is the first time I’ve participated in the Menu Plan Monday over at I’m an Organizing Junkie. I’ve read a lot of the menus, but never remember to actually post mine (well, the weeks I’ve planned it, that is).
A few notes about my menus – I don’t plan the veggies. We just eat whatever we have in the house and whatever sounds good at the moment. I usually plan other sides (like potatoes or rice), just not always the veggies. We snack on fruit and veggies, and usually eat things like carrot sticks and cottage cheese or yogurt with our lunches.
Breakfasts often include eggs, whether or not they’re on the menu. We eat a LOT of eggs because of our chickens.
Piano lesson nights are almost always crockpot meals. This month the crockpot meals are on Mondays – next month when I’m officially off my maternity break my really busy evening will switch to Tuesdays as my students return. Wednesday evenings are usually quick and easy meals because it’s a church night. Friday or Saturday nights we usually go over to Stephen’s parents’ house for dinner – but I plan meals for us anyway, just in case.
So here’s our menu:
Monday
Breakfast – Oatmeal
Lunch – Tossed Salad
Supper – Roasted Rabbit (in the crock pot) and mashed potatoes
Tuesday
Breakfast – Eggs
Lunch – Macaroni and Cheese
Supper – Beef and bean tacos with homemade tortillas
Wednesday
Breakfast – Grits
Lunch – Sandwiches
Supper – Grilled chicken breast over tossed salad
Thursday
Breakfast – Oatmeal Muffins
Lunch – Tuna Salad
Supper – Crock pot ribs and mashed potatoes
Friday
Breakfast – Cereal
Lunch – Egg Salad
Supper – Ham and mozzarella stromboli
Saturday
Breakfast – Whole wheat waffles
Lunch – Hot Dogs with homemade buns and oven fries
Supper – Tossed salad
Sunday
Breakfast – Cereal
Lunch – Roasted whole chicken (in the crock pot) and rice
Supper – Pinto beans (also in the crock pot) and cornbread

Excellent menu! No matter what night you do your crock pot on, you might like to also try Slow Cooking Thursday hosted by Diary of a Stay at Home Mom and then there’s Favorite Ingredient Friday hosted by Overwhelmed with Joy. Both are great sources of new recipes. Enjoy Menu Plan Monday!
Welcome to MPM! Rabbit in the crockpot? Wow, that is so awesome.
Thanks for sharing and have a great week.
My menu is up at Don’t Eat Baby.
Mmmmm! I love stromboli, but I’ve never made it before. Maybe this will be a Saturday meal for me sometime. Thanks for sharing!
Welcome to MPM!
What a blessing to have chickens with the cost of eggs rising!
Everything looks great!
Have a blessed Easter,
Sherry

Thanks, Lora!
Heather, I don’t have a recipe for chicken in the crockpot. We usually just throw it in there with some water, salt and pepper. That way we can use the leftover meat for whatever instead of having to find something that goes with the seasoning. The stromboli recipe is here. I’m sending you an email too.
Welcome to MPM! You have a yummy week planned. Have a great week!
whats your recipie for the chicken in the crockpot? oh and i want the stromboli one too lol. sorry i wasnt so talkative last night. I have a lot weighing on my mind. Maybe we can talk one day.
Welcome to MPM! Looks like you have a delcious week planned. I have a slow cooker recipe for ribs, too, they are soooo good!!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
