Menu Planning Monday: my menu plan for the week of 3/10

SUNDAY: Grilled cheese and tomato soup – Complete with Goldfish crackers in the soup, which I think is my kids’ favorite part! I have been sick and didn’t feel like cooking, so this was a quick fix!

MONDAY: Rice Meatballs – This is a recipe from my mother in law and it’s always a hit when we make it.

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked minute rice
1 lb ground beef (I use 93/7)
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 t. grated onion
2 t. salt (I cut this in half)
1/8 t marjoram
dash pepper
2 1/2 cups tomato juice (or two 8 oz cans tomato sauce mixed with 1/2 cup water)
1/2 t sugar

Combine rice and all other ingredients except tomato juice and sugar. Form balls and arrange in skillet. Pour tomato juice & sugar over meatballs. Bring to boil. Reduce heat & simmer uncovered 15 minutes.

TUESDAY: It’s my dad’s birthday and my mom is cooking!

WEDNESDAY: Slow Cooker Garlic Pesto chicken – I found this one on Pinterest and it looks SO YUMMY! I can’t wait to try it!

THURSDAY: Taco Pasta Bake – This is another recipe I found on Pinterest. It sounds easy enough and has ingredients that sound kid friendly, too!

FRIDAY: Slow Cooker Beef & Broccoli – I pinned this awhile ago and tried it a few weeks ago and it was an absolutely disaster. I’m thinking it was because it cooked for too long! The meat had basically disintegrated by the time I got home from work! I’m going to try it again and see if it works out better with fewer hours of cooking.

SATURDAY: A-mazing Chicken Avocado Enchiladas – this recipe is simply AMAZING and the sauce is so good that you’ll want to lick your plate clean!
