Menu Plan Monday...week of April 30

Happy Monday, everyone!

Lots of baseball games, practices and soccer for my boys...here is what this taxi driver momma is planning for dinners:

MONDAY:  Crock Pot Pork Loin Roast (will slow cook all day with potatoes, carrots and cream soup!  Yum!)  I think I will try this homemade cream soup recipe.

TUESDAY:  Sloppy Josephs (using ground turkey)...yum! 

WEDNESDAY:  Deli Sandwiches, Diner's choice

THURSDAY:  Chicken Cherry Pasta Salad

FRIDAY:  Hamburgers on the grill!  (hope the weather cooperates! lol!)

The pork loin and ground turkey were thanks to my parents, who blessed us with some extra meat over the weekend!  They know how much food gets consumed in our house!  Thanks Mom and Dad!  :)

Linking up to Menu Plan Monday, as usual!

Menu Plan Monday...week of April 23



My baby turned 10 yesterday!  ...and it is true, that the older you get, the faster time seems to fly by!

I can remember the days when my boys were young, and I often felt overwhelmed.  If that's where you are right now, as a mom, I can totally relate!  It IS hard, but you can do it!!

These days with a 15, 13, and 10 year old can be exhausting also, but not as physically exhausting, as when they were young.

I pray that I can always enjoy the stage of life that I am in.

How about you?  What stage are you in??

Something I have learned to help me out these days is to try my best to meal plan!  So here goes for the week!

MONDAY:  Shredded BBQ chicken sandwiches, using this recipe (with chicken, instead)

TUESDAY:  Ham & Cheese Pasta Bake

WEDNESDAY:  Sandwiches, Diner's Choice

THURSDAY:  Chicken Cherry Pasta Salad

FRIDAY:  Little Caesar's pizza, as we will be hosting my 10 year old's birthday party!

Check out other menus at I'm an Organizing Junkie!
