Weekly Menu Plan – What to Cook Wednesday #90
Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday!
Now, I know that isn’t as exciting as Friday but I do have some yummy eats for you to feast your eyes on! Let’s take a look at the weekly menu plan I have cooked {heehee} up for this week.

WTCW #89
Happy Wednesday! Are you enjoying your week so far? I hope so!
How about I make it a little better and give you some delicious food to look at?
Sunday: My love for soup is pretty much a given by now so it is no surprise to see at least one soup each week, right? This week, it is chicken pozole.
Monday: Meatless Monday again..what to make? How about cauliflower “steaks”?
Tuesday: I’ll have to tweak this recipe a little for Mathlete’s plate but balsamic chicken with mushrooms just looked too good to pass up due to his distate for mushrooms.
Wednesday: Forget take-out! Let’s make Chinese fried rice at home! I’m sure it will be just as delicious and much better for us!
Thursday: Chicken cordon bleu is always super delicious but a real pain to actually make {especially on a weeknight}! So, this chicken cordon bleu pasta seems like an awesome superstitution.
Friday: I love curry. Seriously, I could eat just about anything curried. I’m going to give something totally new a try this week too with Thai red curry sausage stroganoff.
Saturday: I don’t make meatloaf very often. It makes a lot and tends to take a little bit more time that I usually have. I’m going to splurge {time wise} and make this pizza meatloaf though this week.

Happy Wednesday!
I’ll be honest…this Wednesday totally crept on me. We had a holiday {President’s Day} on Monday and my little boy refused to sleep for his nap. So much for getting projects done that day!
Anyhoo, we all still need to eat right? So, let’s take a look at some menu ideas.
Sunday: I love starting the week out with a meal that everyone wants to sit around the table and really savor. Pork chops in milk gravy definitely fills the bill for that wish.
Monday: Soup can be the perfect option when it comes to meatless Monday. I came across this cheesy cauliflower soup and knew it would make the perfect cold weather meal.
Tuesday: I’m really trying to focus on eating healthier but still trying to make sure Mathlete gets lots of yummy food too. Chicken with lemon and broccoli fits into both of those categories so we are going to give it a try.
Wednesday: Love asian potstickers? How about trying Asian sliders where the filling for a potsticker is turned into a patty?
Thursday: Our kids love pasta and I like making it because it is so versatile. I can add what I want for the adults and the kids can take/leave what they want. This week, I’m going to try pasta with white beans and hope my kids will take the beans too!
Friday: Fish has never really been something that I love to eat. However, I am trying to add more of it into my diet so I’m hoping honey teriyaki salmon tastes as good as it looks!
Saturday: For some reason, Saturday mornings tend to be so busy that our breakfast is consumed on our way out the door. So, I’m going to serve this sweet potato and kale hash {with a fried egg} as a breakfast for dinner option!
So, what are you cooking this week for dinner?

Now, let’s take a look at look at what’s for dinner next week.
Sunday: Sundays are days made for cooking! Lounge around the house while a delicious meal, like lightened up Sheperd’s Pie, comes together for your enjoyment.
Monday: I am really working on getting back into a meatless Monday routine. I think squash and sweet potato chili is a good recipe to help with that goal.
Tuesday: I think I am going to rename Tuesday to Crockpot Day. I seem to use my crockpot the most that day anyways. This week, I am eyeing slow cooker picadillo.
Wednesday: I could eat goat cheese on just about anything. Strangely though, I have never thought to put it on stuffed peppers…until now! I am going to make stuffed peppers with goat cheese.

{Guest Post} WTCW from Kreative Creationz
Happy Wednesday!
Each month, I have 1-2 guest bloggers come in and share their meal ideas for What to Cook Wednesday! Today, Kendra from Kreative Creationz is here!
******************************************************
Hello, everybody! I’m Kendra and I blog at Kreative Creationz. I love blogging about creative beauty, cooking, crafting, and everyday life. Shannah has given me the opportunity to share seven meals that I will be cooking for dinner for my family this week. Please, enjoy!
{The First Year Blog} {Your Home Based Mom} {I Gotta Try That} {Half Baked Harvest}
Sunday: Gardener’s pie is loaded with veggies and potatoes and it is a great way to fill up a family for a Sunday evening dinner. Absolutely delicious!
Monday: I love cooking simple meals at the beginning of the week. This green bean and rice casserole is perfect!
Tuesday: This week we are having crockpot Mexican beef. Crockpot recipes are the greatest because I won’t have to spend all day in the kitchen and I end up with a great meal for the family.
Wednesday: Lately, I’ve been trying to eat a little healthier. An Asian veggie noodle bowl with grilled steak will help keep me on track to my weight loss goals.
{The Pin Junkie}{My Turn For Us} {Kreative Creationz}
Thursday: Oven-blackened turkey breast is a great go-to meal for getting ready to wind down the end of the week.
Friday: Cold Colorado winters always have me wanting a hot bowl of soup. Southwest chicken soup is a great way to end the work week and to stay warm.
Saturday: After having a busy week, potato skins will be our Saturday meal. Easy to make and tasty to eat.
**********************************************************
Thanks, Kendra! Love all your selections.

WTCW #86
Can you believe January is almost over? I am shocked at how fast the month has flown by. I guess it is all the fun I have been having 🙂
I’m excited to share some new recipes with you as part of What to Cook Wednesday!
Sunday: Lasagna is one of those dishes that is so versatile. Rosemary chicken lasagna is such a great new twist on a classic dish.
Monday: I love pasta. It is a total weakness of mine. Avocado alfredo pasta with spicy shrimp definitely sounds like a perfect way to get my pasta fix.
Tuesday: On weeknights, sometimes sandwiches and wraps are the easiest way to get dinner on the table. Cashew chicken salad wraps are a great way to have a tasty meal quickly.

SURPRISE! I bet you didn’t expect to wake up and find a whole new blog design, did you? We’re still working on a few of the little things so let’s consider this sort of a “soft reveal”. The big celebration will come when it is all completed and ready for prime time. Pardon the dust until then 🙂 {Oh, and a HUGE thank you to Monica from Designer Blogs for all the work she has put in! If you need a new blog design, I highly recommend her!}
*************************************************************
Wednesdays are always fun for me! I love doing this feature and it really helps me stay on track with my own weekly menu planning for our household.
Do you do a weekly menu plan? Do you try out recipes featured here? I’d love to hear all about it!
Sunday: The colder weather has me craving lots of comfort food. Pot au feu offers an easy cooking lesson with the reward of a hearty winter meal.
Monday: Soups are another food I turn to frequently during the winter. They are filling and {generally} offer a lot of nutrition for little calories. This winter minestrone was added to my list the moment I saw it.
Tuesday: Did you eat your black eyed peas on New Year’s Day? If not, we’ve got you covered this week with black eyed pea and sausage stew.
Wednesday: Nothing says comfort like a grilled cheese. Throw in some caramelized onions and bbq pork and you’ve upgraded a basic sandwich to a delight!

What to Cook Wednesday (WTCW) #84
Welcome to the first WTCW of 2013 from me! I hope the new year is treating you well so far. I dove head first into some pretty hefty healthy eating goals which {so far} are going well. You’ll see a few of those healthier recipes appear here each week I am sure 🙂
Want to see some of your own {or your favorite recipes of others} here?
Each month, I am opening WTCW posts up to guest bloggers. Interested? Email me at justusfourpartners {at} gmail {dot} com and I’ll send you all the info you need!
Now, how about we talk food?
Sunday: I haven’t done much cooking with lamb but I love the sound of lamb and potato enchilada casserole.
Monday: Let’s go meatless with super kid friendly chili bean tacos.
Tuesday: Baked potatoes have become great blank slates for lots of different kind of meals. Cheeseburger stuffed baked potatoes eliminate the need to make a side of fries!

Today, Heather from Heather’s French Press is here to share a weekly menu plan with you! If you have never visited Heather’s blog, you should! It is filled with delicious recipes that fill my “must make” list!
****************************************************
I hope the new year is off to a great start for you all. Here’s a peak at how we are starting 2013.
Sunday – family dinner night is even more special on Sundays, and I LOVE trying new things like this Bacon Wrapped Chicken with Asparagus. It was a HUGE hit!
Monday – and we’re off to another busy week. Slow cooker meals like this Balsamic Pork are perfect for busy weeknights.
Tuesday – has always been Taco Tuesday. My kids simply will not have it any other way. We like to mix-it -up a bit with these baked taquitos.
Wednesday – trying to lighten things up – we LOVE pasta, but these zucchini noodles make a healthy {and delicious} alternative.
Thursday – Quick meals don;t have to taste like quick meals. This cordon bleu is SO easy, and you would never know it.
Friday is pizza night!
Saturday – the weekend at last. Time to celebrate with lasagna roll-ups
.Have a great week:)
~Heather
