Mongolian Beef

Welcome to the first installment of my Weekly Meal Plan sharing! I have a new system I've been using and it is working FanFreakingTastically. I'm writing up my notes on how I implemented the plan but to get you inspired I want to continue to share how I execute it each week.

This was our week of dinners last week, I'm hoping to start sharing these with you every Sunday. Let's see how it goes!

Meal Plan for a normal week in October:

Weekly Meal Plan

Monday:  Homemade chicken & wild rice soup

Followed the recipe from Dinner: A Love Story but substituted wild rice for orzo.

Tuesday: Crock pot chicken tacos with chips & queso

Very easy but I want to tweak the recipe before I share.

Wednesday: Pesto pasta with chopped fresh tomatoes

Pesto came from a container from Costco, made it fresh with farmer's market heirloom tomatoes

Thursday: Mongolian beef stir-fry with crispy broccoli

The FIRST new recipe I've tried in more months than I can remember!

Friday: Family fun night at the Peanut's school

Saturday: Pizza night

Sunday: Chicken Alfredo & rice casserole

A Peanut Blossom classic. By Sunday we had too much leftover food in the fridge, so I ended up tabling this recipe for a future week. All the ingredients will keep and it will be rotated into a new meal plan soon.

    I like the Tuesday recipe the best! I love crock pots because they make delicious savory meals in the easiest of forms. I also enjoy more technical recipes that make me feel like I went to culinary school like the recipe on Thursday. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful family recipe website!

    would love to check out some of your recipes and ideas as life is getting crazy and I no longer am home to cook as I used to for the family with all the running around to sports and school. Can't wait to get more organized and less stressed.
