Menu Plan Monday... errr... Thursday??

I'm way behind on my MPM this week due to the chaos of BlogHer, getting back into the swing of things around here etc... etc... but without further ado... here's the rest of this week!

Recipes are below!!

Thursday: Red Beans & Rice with Chicken Sausage

Friday: BLT Chicken Salads

Saturday: Slow Cooker Stuffed Peppers

Sunday: Saucy Pork

Once again, breakfasts are usually cold cereal, oatmeal and sometimes Boug just wants toast and a banana! Lunches usually are leftovers or sandwiches paired with yogurt or fruit generally. My meals are usually a bit heavier in meats and chickens as hub is a butcher and brings so much home for free or next to nothing!! Check out more Menu Plan Monday entries at orgjunkie!!
