Menu Plan Monday

You know, each week I get my menu plan ready and get it put by the computer so that I can type this up to link at OrgJunkie's MPM on Sunday night... and for some reason I just can't seem to get that accomplished! WTF!!?!?

RECIPES ARE BELOW!!
Monday: Crockpot Pizza

Tuesday: Sun Dried Tomato, Onion & Balsamic Chicken

Wednesday: Crockpot Cornbread Taco Casserole

Thursday: BLT Chicken Salad

Friday: Bacon Veggie Skillet

Saturday: Crockpot Smoked Brisket

Sunday: Turkey Club Pie


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!!

Crockpot Pizza
crust:
1.5 c. biscuit mix (like bisquick)

Spray the inside of the crock pot with non-stick spray. Put about 1/4 of the sauce on the bottom of the crock pot. Mix the crust together and spread it out over the sauce, almost touching the sides. Top with the rest of the sauce, cheese and whichever toppings you choose. Cook on high for about 2 hours.

Put the chopped onion on the bottom of the crock pot, top with sun dried tomatoes, pour 1 of the 1/3 c. balsamic on top. Combine melted butter with italian seasoning, coat chicken with that mixture and put on top of the onion/tomato/balsamic in the crock pot. Pour remaining 1/3 c. balsamic on top and cook on low 6-8 hours or high for 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 400. Combine turkey, bacon and cheese in a pie plate. Combine bisquick, milk and eggs, pour on top of other ingredients already in pie plate. Bake 30-35 minutes, I like to top mine with sliced tomato and sliced red onion for the last 15 minutes of the bake time.
