Well, can you believe that it is time for another Menu Plan Monday post?  It seems like this past week just flew by!

I know that a good part of this is that I am not having to constantly try to think of what we are going to be having for dinner.  It is so nice to have it already figured out and planned.

Now that my son is a teenager, it seems he can really pack away the food.  I have learned to not take him grocery shopping with me, as he will start piling my shopping cart with foods that aren’t on my list.  He used to be more interested in trying to get out of helping me and going to look at the video games.  Now his main focus is what else he can put in the cart that he can eat.  I offered to let him choose a couple of yogurts that he would like for snacks this week.  He ended up putting in at least a dozen for just him.  At least it was a healthy choice.  I can’t always say that.

Anyway, here are our dinner plans for this week:

Monday–Lasagna, Cheesy Salad, French Bread

Tuesday–Hamburger Stroganoff, Green Beans, Peaches, Rolls

Wednesday–Teriyaki Chicken Stirfry, Rice, Rainbow Sherbet

Thursday–Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Peas & Carrots, Chocolate Macaroon Pudding

Friday–Meatloaf, Baked Potatoes, Green Beans, Jello

Saturday-Chili, Scones, Carrot & Celery Sticks

Sunday–Super Bowl Sunday–We always eat a plethora of snacks on this day,  So here is what is planned thus far:  Pizza Bites, Hot Wings, Quesidillas, Veggie Tray, Nachos

Well, that is it for this week!   I will try to post the recipe for the Chocolate Macaroon Pudding a little later this week.  It is new to us, but it looks absolutely delicious!   What awesome meals do you have planned?
