Menu Plan Monday: February 14th 2011!

First off - HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!  Secondly, this week is full of work, school, Dr appointments, and the start of Spring cleaning!  I am STILL suffering from a head cold, and now have a bladder infection to go along with it. So needless to say I am very tired and am in a lot of pain, so this week's meals are going to be simple and we will probably deviate from the plan more than once for easy stand-by favorites like french toast, but don't judge me! j/k ;-)

Breakfasts: Cold or Warm Cereals, Fruit Smoothies

Lunches: Leftovers, Grilled Cheese with Soup and French Toast

Dinners:

Sunday - Steak Fajitas (freezer-cooking meal kit) with Mexican Rice and Salad

Monday - Salad with Ricotta and Spinach Tortellini in Alfredo Sauce with Italian Seasoned diced Tomatoes, Fresh Baby Spinach and Steamed Shrimp

Tuesday - Orange Chicken Kit (from ALDI) with Jasmine Rice and Easy Egg Rolls (recipe later this week)

Wednesday - BBQ Pork Ribs in the Crock-pot with Crock-pot Baked Potatoes and Salad

Thursday - Bacon Cheese Burger Sliders and French Fries (hopefully on homemade rolls)

Friday - Homemade Pizza with Salad

Saturday - Scalloped Potatoes with Baked Ham (leftovers from the freezer) and Salad or Green Beans

What's Baking?: Cupcakes with Homemade Butter cream Frosting for Valentine's day and hopefully some scones by the end of the week, but we'll have to wait and see...
