Menu Plan 10/24-10/31

I haven't posted a menu plan in awhile, but in the interest of helping fellow moms come up with new ideas, here is what we'll be cooking up this week.

Sunday
Roast
Potatoes 
Carrots

Monday
Banana Bread
Beef Stew, whole wheat honey bread
Cranberry Chutney Pork Tenderloin (a Better Homes & Gardens recipe I want to try)
Sweet Potatoes
Normandy Vegetables

Tuesday
Breakfast Burritos
Tuna Salad Sandwiches, carrot & celery sticks
Pinto Beans (crockpot) over rice with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream, salsa, etc. (kind of like taco salad; you can also put them in tortillas); cornbread
Wednesday
Oatmeal
Bean & cheese burritos
Penne Pasta (use pork sausage instead of ground beef, add cream cheese to spaghetti sauce and warm, add green and red pepper strips and cook until softened...yummy!).
Salad and breadsticks

Thursday
leftovers
Oven baked chicken
Baked Potatoes
Salad

Friday
(my baby's birthday!)
Triple Berry Blintzes (make crepes, fill with cottage cheese...warm slightly, top with warmed triple berry blend that you can add a little cornstarch to in order to make a syrup, add a dollop of whipped cream)
Birthday lunch (have to figure this one out yet)
Out to dinner

Saturday
Pancakes, bacon, juice
snacks
Lasagna
Garlic Bread
Salad

Sunday
Early Thanksgiving Dinner while my mom is here visiting
(brined turkey, sweet potatoes, rolls, green bean casserole, apple pie, etc).
