It’s Monday, and that means it’s time for another installment of Meal Plan Monday! We enjoyed some simple but tasty meals last week at our house. I hope today’s ideas will give you a meal or two for your own planning. Have a great week. Happy planning!
Before we start, are you getting my weekly email? I send out ONE email a week (on Monday mornings), sharing all the posts I’ve published that week. It’s the easiest way to make sure you never miss something! You can subscribe in the right sidebar!
On to the meal plan!
Sunday:
Waffles
Nachos
*We didn’t have any big Super Bowl plans, but I figured I had to make some type of “game food” for 
dinner. Nachos were a big hit. While we didn’t get to see the Seahawks win, I had a lot of fun live-tweeting the event. Not following me on Twitter yet? Come find me @chasingsupermom!
Monday:
Honey BBQ Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Rolls
*I didn’t have any eggs, so this came out more like “Honey BBQ Hash,” but was DELICIOUS! I can’t wait to try again when I have eggs to bind it together.
Angel Pie Breakfast Cake is one of those recipes everyone should know. It’s perfect for a brunch or mom’s group. How can you go wrong with a 2 ingredient cake?! Lots of flavor possibilities too!
Tuesday:
Oatmeal
Creamy Chicken Enchiladas, Beans, Jell-O
*I will get around to getting my enchilada recipe up one of these days. It is a family favorite for sure! As a side-note, we tried peach Jell-O tonight and it was GROSS! 5/6 of us did not go back for a second bite.
Wednesday:
Sloppy Joes, Tater Tots, Oranges
*I don’t love sloppy joes, but everyone else in the family really likes them. Don’t be afraid to put an easy side dish like simple orange slices on your menu. I love to use raw fruits and veggies in my planning.
My kids and I spent the afternoon at our local science museum, so it worked out perfectly to have an easy-to-throw-together meal on the menu plan tonight.
Thursday:
Cereal
Breakfast Casserole, Nutella Banana Bread
*We like having breakfast for dinner. I plan a “brinner” just about every three weeks. This was a fun variation and a nice change from doing pancakes or waffles.
Friday:
Waffles
Homemade Pizza
Brownie Sundaes
*Fridays are family night at our house, and my aim is always a crowd-pleasing kind of meal. After a walk around the neighborhood, we watched Milo and Otis, listened to Jefferson Airplane and Bob Dylan, and enjoyed some tasty (but easy!) brownie sundaes.
Saturday:
Pancakes
Date Night
*My husband and I enjoyed a rare bit of time away today. We went wine tasting with another couple and ate at a little Italian cafe downtown. When you’re meal planning, remember to plan for things like date nights. (For example, I only planned 20 dinners instead of 21 during this cycle as I knew we would be gone.)
