Menu Plan Monday, September 12th
Happy Monday to you. If you don’t have your meal plan ready yet, I have a few dinner ideas to share with you.
This week our menu is full of dishes from the freezer.
Dishes like, fajita chicken, Italian chicken, cranberry chicken, and London broil.
These are all really easy to prep for the freezer and makes getting dinner ready so much easier too. Just thaw and cook, no messing with raw meat when you are in a rush to get dinner done.
I’m also making a batch of chili this week because I think fall is a great time to start eating soups and chilis to save some money.
We eat more salads in the summer and soups and chili in the fall.
As the weather gets cooler it’s nice to have more comfort food to eat. And chili and soups are just our kind of comfort food.
I also like to make something special on the weekends for our breakfast. And this week since apple season is starting, its mini apple muffins. They are so good!
What switches do you make seasonally in your menu planning?

Your menu looks delicious, Shelly! 🙂 My husband has been on vacation from his job and will be off again this week, so he’s been handling a lot of the meals, which I appreciate. He’s planning on making fried mushrooms and pretzels this week. LOL – Not exactly full meals but we’ll enjoy them!
I hope you and your family have a great week!
All of these sound delicious! We definitely start eating more soups and stews as the weather gets colder. They are some of our favorites!
Everything looks delicious, especially the chicken fajitas! (I love practically all Mexican food)
I’m trying out some new recipes this week, since we have started the Trim Healthy Mama plan. So far, so good…I was really surprised at how good mashed cauliflower (instead of mashed potatoes) tastes.
Have a great week Shelly!
Your pictures are gorgeous! Got some inspiration from your dishes for meal planning I need to do this weekend.
Denise I’m so glad you found some meal planning ideas. Thanks for the compliment on my photos. 🙂
