Menu Plan Monday - All New, All the Time
Ok, I’m tired of the meals we’re having, so I’m going to make all new things all week. I’m also going to try to add more out in the open veggies (as opposed to the sneaky kind the kids don’t know they’re eating). We’ll see how it goes. (My apologies to Org Junkie… I had already made my menu when I discovered it was family favorites week. Oops.)
Sunday -Bacon Roasted Chicken (thanks to All Recipes.com) with mashed potatoes and fruit salad
Monday -Brinner - Sausage and Bacon Kabobs (care of Sandra Lee @ Food Network) with hash browns
Tuesday - Prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts (from this month’s Real Simple magazine) with Yummy Carrots and green salad (which will be a challenge as my kids HATE salad).
Yummy Carrots — baby carrots, butter, brown sugar, salt, pepper
Add all ingredients in a pan and simmer till the carrots are soft. Right before serving, turn the heat up to reduce the liquids. It’ll turn into a sweet glaze.
Wednesday -time to get my hair colored - Mike & the kids will have leftovers
Thursday - Turkey Fried Rice (an adaptation of a recipe from “The Dinner Doctor” cookbook - lots of veggies and leftover turkey from the freezer)
Friday - dinner out with Chuck, Stacy & the kids for Mike’s birthday (Sunday). After dinner, the kids are going to spend the weekend with the cousins.

Looks like a great week! Love the name of your blog–I am chasing contentment as well.
Thanks. I know that happiness is fleeting, but contentment is something I can honestly strive to attain. Of course, it often feels just this much out of reach.
that bacon roasted chicken looks and sounds fantastic!
It honestly was fantastic!
It looks great. Sometimes Sandra Lee gets on my nerves and sometimes she hits a home run. She made this ground turkey macaroni and cheese casserole thingy the other day and my son was practically licking the TV.
I may have to give that one a try!
You really need to love the apple chicken sausage before you try this. My kids ate it ok but not great, and Eliza can eat her weight in sausage. And Mike hated it.
