Menu Plan Monday– October 3, 2016

The first full week of October is finally here!  This is my birthday month so I’m very excited for October.  I love fall and the cooler weather it brings here in the Northeast. However, it’s also a very busy time of year.  This week is going to be especially hectic with practices for soccer, elementary school band & high school marching band, as well as 2 band competitions, art club, Cub Scouts, a football game, and a soccer game!  So for the rest of the week, I’m keeping it simple by preparing a typical menu for us. However, this month, I’d like to experiment with some new fall recipes and some quick weeknight “grab n go” type meals. So, I’ll be scouring my Pinterest boards and adding some new selections to our dinner menus in the coming weeks. Hopefully, we’ll find a few new dishes that the family will enjoy and want to add to our menu rotation.

Here’s what we are planning for this first week of October:

Monday-    Thin spaghetti with tomato & basil sauce served with a chopped salad and Pillsbury crescent rolls
Tuesday-  Beef Tacos with rice - It’s National Taco Day!
Wednesday- No cooking for me - it’s my birthday! 
Thursday- “Mommy’s” Chicken (breaded & fried chicken cutlets) with a spinach/kale salad
Friday- Pizza Night – Take out Domino’s Pizza
Saturday- We’ll be eating at the marching band competition
Sunday- Mema’s Salmon- my mother-in-law’s recipe with a side of mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli

What will you be eating this week?
