Menu Plan Monday– October 31, 2016

Happy November & Happy Belated Halloween! I hope you all had a ghoulishly fun time on Monday. My kids had a great time with their friends and they brought home too much candy from trick-or-treating. It's going to be very hard not to eat any of their goodies while they are at school but I will do my best to resist.

Last week was so busy that I didn't quite follow my menu plan but I guess that's bound to happen once in awhile. I do enjoy having a menu plan to guide me each week even if we go off track sometimes. We did try the new recipe on Sunday, Chicken Chili with Sweet Potatoes.  It wasn't a fan favorite so I'll be looking for another chili recipe to try this month.

As for this week, we have a much quieter schedule than last week which I am grateful for. There's not too many "extra" activities going on. This weekend the boys will finally go camping and we will have the last marching band competition (the National Championships) for the season. Also, don't forget to adjust your clocks! For most of us in the US, Daylight Savings time will be here this Saturday night/Sunday morning.   

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

Monday-    Take-out Pizza Night- This is a tradition that we have on Halloween because there's never time to cook.
Tuesday-  Thin Spaghetti with Pesto Sauce and crescent rolls with a chopped salad
Wednesday- Beef Tacos with quinoa & brown rice
Thursday- Chicken with Goat Cheese Vinaigrette from Real Simple
Friday- Pizza Night: this time it's frozen
Saturday- Cheeseburgers and hot dogs with waffle fries
Sunday- Dining out.  Tonight is the last competition of the marching band season so we'll be dining at the snack stands.

What will you be eating this week?
