It’s officially 2011.
Ummmm, how exactly did that happen?
I’ve been in-my-head-blogging all day about starting off the year right, the adjustments I’ll be making to my routine, etc.
But I can’t forget the important building block for all of that . . . a menu plan.
So before I get into philosophy and deep thoughts and renewed commitments and all that jazz, I need to get this done.
Monday – Chicken Noodle Soup. Because it’s cold. Because chicken is on sale, and because I have a new crockpot to try out. And of course, I’ll be cooking up lots of extra chicken (since the crockpot is huge) and will have some to use for easy meals in future weeks.
Tuesday – Beef Stroganoff. Because . . . sour cream was one of the things I was supposed to take to my mother-in-law’s house on Christmas day . . . but forgot (not surprising at all). I had to go pick up more at the only open-grocery-store we could find, and now we have . . . . quite a bit.
Wednesday – Taco Soup. Because it sounds good to me.
Thursday – Leftover brisket in gravy . . . over mashed potatoes. Yum.
Friday – Out to eat!
Saturday – Homemade pizza
Sunday – Home groups. Someone else is bringing supper, so it’s automatically delicious.
What are you cooking this week?
Go check out other menu plans over at Menu Plan Monday over at Orgjunkie.com.

Can you post your taco soup recipe? I have been wanting to try it, but the recipes I have found are a bit over my head. I have tried your chicken faux alfredo and loved it. I want to try your fried rice next.
Thanks so much for sharing.

lol. I agree with Sunday's comment! It's funny how some things taste so much better when someone else does the cooking.
Your menu sounds delicious. I love Chicken noodle soup and brisket (maybe not together though).

You will love cooking in the Crock Pot. We would love Taco Soup. Thank you for sharing and you have a great week!
Beef Stroganoff is one of my favorites. How lucky are you that you forgot to take sour cream to your mother-in-laws.
Yes, Shannon, I'll share it. I was just thinking as I wrote this that I really need to do posts on all of my standard (constantly repeated) recipes so I can link to them in these menu plans! THanks for the motivation!
