Menu Plan Monday May 4, 2008

Well, after things being crazy at work (which actually is the norm!) and my being REALLY sick the past week, I think I’m set to get back to my weekly menu posting.  It will actually be a relief since I’ve felt a bit lost having to wing it so much lately.  Of course when I was sick, I felt like actually getting something edible in front of The Bean was a triumph in itself!

This week’s menu is heavy on chicken.  But we like it, and these are dishes that will help me use up some ingredients in the fridge before they’re stored too long. 

Sunday: Crockpot Chicken - After the crockpot fiasco, my mom was kind enough to get me a new one for my birthday last week.  Thanks, Mom!

Monday: Leftovers

Tuesday: Sweet and Tangy Sloppy Joes - The last of my deep freeze stash.  I’ll have to make some more soon to have on hand.

Wednesday: Chicken with Sun-dried Tomato Basil Sauce and Orzo pasta

Thursday: Leftovers 

Friday: Chicken and Pepper Jack Taquitos

Saturday: Pan Seared Chicken with Porcini Sauce - This will be a new recipe for me.  I know already that I’ll be leaving the chestnuts out since I don’t cook with nuts.  Also, I’ll be substituting regular onion for the shallots.  I’ll let you know next week how it turned out, and more importantly, if we liked it!
