Menu Plan Monday

I am going to try to do this quickly, yeah right! No, really I am just exhausted and need to get this done. Today I did power cooking with some friends. We made 800 meatballs and 300 stuffed shells. I have 50 shells and 133 meatballs in my freezer as there were 6 of us. Cost for all this was $25. Oh, I also had one pound of ground beef that we fried up so we had that for tonights dinner.

Review of last weeks meals:
As I mentioned in my last weeks post I'm getting fed up with my crock pot. If any of you have any good recipes please share because everything I seem to make in mine comes out really crappy. Baked Honey Pecan Chicken was really yummy. I liked the honey sauce. The Broccoli with creamy lemon sauce was really good. My kids actually dipped their chicken into the lemon sauce. I didn't put the honey pecan on their chicken. Chicken Burgers came out yucky. The Beef and Veggie Stir fry is a keeper. My husband loved the sauce so it made it to the monthly cook book. The cowpoke BBQ sauce was a disappointment. Somehow I didn't make the chicken Burritos, chicken fajitas or swiss chicken. I think we wound up having left overs. I did substitute sweet and sour meatballs for one of the nights (husband's favorite as it was his birthday.)

Now to this week:
Monday - Chili - used cooked chop meat that I had left over from power cooking today.
Tues - Stuffed Shells (frozen from power cooking)
Wed - Meat balls and Spaghetti or pasta (frozen from power cooking)
Thurs - (Crock Pot) Yes I'm going to attempt again! Wish me luck. I'm going to try a recipe from Robin Miller from Food Network called Beef it Up. She cooks one meal and then uses it 2 other times. Beef Roast with Root Vegetables and Mixed Greens with Raspberry-Walnut Dressing
Fri - Green Chile Beef Empanadas
Sat- Asian Beef Salad with Cilantro, Scallions and Sesame Seeds
Sun - leftovers or eat out
