Menu Plan Monday – April 25

Last week’s menu had Great Grandma’s Beef Pie on the list.  I did finally make it and after tasting it, I wondered why I thought I’d never had something like this before.  I’m sure I have; it wasn’t near as awful as I thought it might be.  It was actually very good – more of a down-home, warm and cozy type of meal.  It probably won’t be a regular on our table but it’s not something I would completely avoid in the future either.  I actually took a picture of it.

Here’s the filling…

And here it is after the pie was assembled and cooked.

I did make the  Pork Souvlak & Chopped Greek Salad.  It was easy to make and one that I wouldn’t hesitate serving to guests.  The recipe came from The Carefree Cook by Rick Rodgers.

My older children (all 4) were gone for 3 days, so while they were gone I took a break from the kitchen and we ate leftovers as well as one stop at Pizza Hut, so the only two meals I made at supper time last week were the ones above.

This week things should be back on track.  I can’t believe this is the last week in April and it’s already time for a monthly menu. 

• So who’s with me?  Are you ready to make another monthly menu? 

• Let’s have a Linky Party next Monday, May 1 where you can link up with your Monthly Menu.  We can all get ideas from each other.

This week’s menu…

Monday – Elk Roast, Baked Potatoes, Sauteed Mushrooms, Leftover Chopped Greek Salad and some other veggie from the refrigerator

Tuesday – Stromboli, Green Salad

Wednesday – Sweet n Sour Meatballs w/ rice, Green Salad

Thursday – Hoisin Beef w/ vegetables & rice, Green Salad

Friday – Tacos

Saturday – no leftovers; going to a birthday party where we’ll be served FOOD

 

Don’t forget – next Monday, come link up with your monthly menu.  If you want to see how I wrote up my monthly menu plan, go here. 

 

I have totally enjoyed having a monthly menu in place.  It has been a relief to me to not have to wonder every day, “what’s for supper?”  I have an entire month that I don’t have to think about it!  We have tried several new meals, too, which if you know me, is something I really like to do.

I was even surprised by company who arrived at supper time a few times this month and was so grateful that there was enough food to serve them, too.

I would really encourage you to try it one time and see what you think.
