Menu Plan Monday: A Low-Maintenance Week

September 25, 2011

This week is going to be a busy one at our house, so my menu planning goal this week was simple… Keep it simple. I’m determined to use what I have in my pantry, use my Crock Pot, and make as many low-maintenance meals as possible. Here’s my plan to accomplish that goal.

Sunday (a not-so-low-maintenance day)
Baked Pork Chops
Crispy Baked Potato Wedges
Corn

Monday
Crock Pot Chili
Possibly some Homemade Cornbread if we have time

Tuesday
Crockpot Chicken & Sausage Stew

Wednesday (our super-crazy day)
Leftover Chili & Stew

Thursday
Homemade Pizza (Pioneer Woman’s Pizza Crust)

Friday
Italian Chicken Packets

Saturday
Dinner at our church

You can find TONS of weekly  menu plans at I’m an Organized Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday.
