Menu Plan Monday - October 8

Last week I followed the menu plan for everything except for two meals. The Baked Chicken was delicious, as was the pork loin and the creamy potatoes with kielbasa. Instead of the tarragon chicken I ended up coating it with corn tortilla crumbs and baking it. Tonight the kids and my hubby did McDonalds. We decided on Friday to take a finance class at church. I had a Stampin' Up party to go to, plus Lego boy had speech therapy...so fast food it was.


Monday - BBQ chicken (on grill), corn on the cob (if I can find some at the grocery store), baked beans, saute squash and zucchini

Tuesday - Beef Brisket, mashed potatoes, carrots, green beans

Wednesday - breakfast for dinner; ham steaks, hash browns, pancakes

Thursday - pork chops with green onion sauce, rice, broccoli

Friday - Family pizza & movie night (more Little Caesar Pizza Kits - the kids love to make their own), I'll have crab cakes

Saturday - kids to spend the night at in-laws - hubby and I are going out to celebrate our 10th anniversary (a bit early, it's on 10/18) - not sure what we are doing yet. I'm for going to the State Fair and spending the night at a hotel....but we'll see

Sunday - Spaghetti, cheese bread


Beef Brisket

1 large beef brisket
Spicy mustard
1-2 envolopes onhion soup mix (I have a GF version)

Place your beef in the crockpot (fat side down)- coat the beef with the mustard- sprinkle the onion soup over the mustard and put the lid on high for 6-8 hours! The soup and the mustard and the juices from the beef make a great gravy. Thicken with water & cornstartch.
