Menu Plan Monday: Week of January 19, 2015


As part of my breakfast meal planning for school days, I tried making these English muffins but they came out more like a dense bread. I'm not quite ready to give up, as I love the idea of making a breakfast sandwich for the kids before school, so if you have a trusted English muffin recipe, please share it with me!

Last week's healthy dish was Quinoa Salad with Cucumber, Feta and Shrimp, and it's a definite keeper.

This week, I'm tackling dried beans. I haven't bothered with dried beans for a long time since canned beans are so readily available, but dried beans are cheaper and freezer-friendly. And a huge pot of homemade refried beans would be a hit with my kids, especially if I can master Mexican rice. But one thing at a time ...

Monday:
Dinner - Slow Cooker Spinach & Artichoke Dip with carrot sticks, celery and pita chips, Bacon-Wrapped Dates

Tuesday:
Breakfast - Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding {I have some bread in the freezer that will be perfect for this}
Dinner - Miso Chicken, Rice, Sauteed Zucchini

Wednesday:
Breakfast - Baked Oatmeal
Dinner - Pasta Bolognese, salad, garlic bread

Thursday:
Breakfast - Best Ever Blueberry Muffins
Dinner - Chicken Enchiladas, Crock Pot Refried Beans, Salad

Friday:
Breakfast - Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake
Dinner - Crock Pot Loaded Potato Soup, garlic bread

Saturday & Sunday: We will be out and about both days so we'll have to eat out, but if we're home, we'll have leftover soup or breakfast for dinner.
