April Menu #1

*I took a break of sorts from my weekly menu planning. Sick children, spring break and lack of creativity and wondering what-the-heck-to-eat! - left me without the motivation to keep up. But I'm back and planning on sticking to a menu! (Because it's so much easier than wondering "What are we eating for dinner tonight???")

Sunday (11) ~ grilled marinated chicken, couscous, grilled corn on the cob, salad, rolls
Monday (12) ~ paninis and soup
Tuesday (13) ~ tacos and mexican rice
Wednesday (14) ~ hot dogs, baked beans and fries
Thursday (15) ~ my birthday...trying out a new area restaurant: Firebird Wood Fired Grill (Had French Dip sandwich, coleslaw, steak fries and lemonade)
Friday (16) ~ scrambled eggs, toast and hashbrown patties
Saturday (17) ~ birthday family bbq: grilled chicken, salad, homemade mac & cheese, garlic bread and mint brownies for dessert

Anyone else want to share their week's menu? Or have a recipe you'd like to share? I'd love to hear them, if you do. I'm getting kinda tired or rotating the same old items and willing to try out something new. :)
