Last week, my menu plan got switched around the moment I made it, and I lost incentive to work on it further. However, I have a yummy recipe from the week before: Oven Fried Chimichangas from The Grocery Cart Challenge. These were tasty, a great alternative to tacos, and very filling. With side dishes, one is enough. I made them with chicken and ground beef. I prefer the ones with chicken. However, Ben and I want to try them with shredded beef too. My only tip is to watch them in the oven. The 25 minute cooking time was too long. I think it only really takes 18 minutes at the most.
Here's this week's plan...so far I'm sticking to it!
Sunday: Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
Monday: Chicken Tetrazzini (from Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook) and the Best Carrots.
Tuesday: Leftover Potato Soup with pears (Thaw meat for porcupines)
Wednesday: Porcupines (didn't get to them last time) with glazed carrots and parsnips, fruit salad and rice. (I tried making parsnips, a new vegetable to us, two weeks ago, but I burned them, so I didn't dare serve them to see if we liked them! Here goes attempt number two.) Thaw chicken and prepare rub for Thursday.
Thursday: Best Chicken Ever with Cheesy Potatoes (these are so good!) and applesauce or fruit salad and corn.
Friday: Italian Roast Wrap....without the wrap :-) with leftover cheesy potatoes and fruit.
Saturday: Pancakes or waffles, or oatmeal for brunch. Eat out for dinner.

looks like a great plan!
Thanks for stopping by! To answer your question about the roast...I have a small roaster that I put it in along with the veggies around lunch time. I turn the roaster on to about 225° and it stays on that temp until dinner which is around 5:30pm. I put in two cans of beef broth and for spices it is either a packet of onion soup mix or a combination of minced onion, garlic powder, and black pepper. I have found that in order not to dry it out you have to be careful as to how long and how high you cook it. HTH!
