Overcoming Busy

Menu Plan Monday – February 1, 2010

February 1, 2010 by Marci

Sorry for the lack of a menu plan last week.  I had a menu planned out, it just didn’t get online.  Last Monday was one of those Monday’s.  I will tell you that I tried a new recipe last week – Crock-pot Chili-Lime Chicken.  It was fabulous!  I used it in my enchiladas verde instead of my normal cumin rubbed pork loin or chicken breasts.  I found it a couple weeks ago on Sister Wisdom and she found it on Real Mom Kitchen.

This week, I am going to still try and get as many veggies in as I can while still satisfying the meat eaters in my family.  Chili is on my menu for the third time in a month, but before you go thinking we really love chili, let me clarify.  I haven’t actually fixed the chili on the menu.  Something always came up on chili-making day (which is the day before we eat it – much better the second day).  So, we will try chili again!  I have some leftover steamed asparagus from this weekend that will make a great quiche.  My friend gave me a super easy and really yummy french onion soup recipe that made enough for last Friday night, some leftovers in the fridge and a container in the freezer.  I think I need to work that in somewhere this week.

Chili, cornbread, veggies and dip
