Menu Plan Monday
I've decided I must start doing more with all the steaks that the hub has been bringing home from work. For some reason, I'm in a steak rut with them and I haven't quite figured out any new, easy, inexpensive recipes... my MPM goal for this week? Find some new steak recipes!!
Recipes are below!!
Monday: Steak Quesadillas
Tuesday: Pecan Crusted Chicken Fingers
Wednesday: Crockpot Lasagna
Thursday: Potato & Bacon Soup with Grilled Cheese
Friday: Hot Dogs
Saturday: Crockpot Cornbread Taco
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!!
Recipes:::
The pecan chicken fingers & the potato bacon soup are both in All You magazine, I can't seem to find them online, and I can't find my magazine, but I know its around here somewhere. I'll update with those 2 recipes once I find it!!

Have a good week!
Im chuckling to myself here, my husband is a butcher too so I almost never have to pick up meat anymore. In fact, the other day I ran into a great deal on Pork roast and had a problem choosing one because I had actually forgotten how to pick out a good piece of meat :(
The crockpot Cornbread taco sounds delish! Im going to have to remember that one and try it out, we love tacos, and cornbread...and crockpots :)
Depending on the quality, you might want to make a Beef Stew.
Looks like you and your family will be enjoying some delicious meals.
I'm always looking for different meal ideas. That's why I love MPM.
You have a great week!
