Menu Planning Week 3

I'm loving this menu planning. It doesn't always go as planned, though. My Mom and Dad happened to come to town last week so I picked up a pot roast and did that instead of the roasted chicken. Just because. I'm also trying to try at least one new recipe each week. I actually have three new ones this week.

Thursday -Vegetable Ham Stew http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Vegetable-Ham-Stew, Vienna Bread - This is a tasty low fat and healthy soup. I skip the cornstarch and water part. I actually forgot the first couple times I made it and loved it the way it was.

Friday - Barbeque Grilled Salmon, p. 183, Garlic Mashed Redskins, Green Beans - yes, again! I've been making fish every Friday. It's just a way to remember! We love this salmon recipe so I keep making it!

Saturday - Philly Burgers - I made my sister Sarah's Philly Burgers. They were awesome! We all loved them, except Jean who didn't try it. http://amatteroftasteblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/philly-burger.html

Sunday - Pick up Pizza

Monday - Spicy Vegetable Chili (new)  http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Spicy-Vegetable-Chili, Corn Bread

Tuesday - Roasted Chicken w/potatoes and carrots, Stove top dressing

Wednesday - Pork Tenderloin (new)*,http://www.food.com/recipe/perfect-pork-tenderloin-63828 Red Skins, Zesty Broccoli and Cauliflower http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Zesty-Broccoli

*Pork Tenderloin Recipe- (from my friend Sue S.)  Preheat oven to 525 degrees. Bake tenderloin exactly 5 1/2 minutes per pound. Shut off oven. Do not open for 1 hour. Take out and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

I'm anxious to try the tenderloin. She said it was delicious! Notice it is a pork tenderloin. The little skinny ones. Not a porkloin. The big fat ones.
