Has your home settled down after the holiday activity? There is nothing like a little routine to get us all grounded and reorganized. If you haven’t tried planning your menus, I highly recommend it. MPM comes from my colleague Laura over on OrgJunkie. She has posted some great links to gluten free recipes for those of you with special diets in your home.
In the meantime, what’s on your menu this week? Here’s our lineup:
Monday – Swim team: Fish, rice, frozen vegies, green salad
Tuesday – Swim team: Our traditional pasta night, meat balls, green salad, Italian bread
Wedneday – Swim team, choir: BBQ pork kabobs in marinade, rice, grilled vegies, cruditee salad
Thursday – Swim team/lessons: BBQ chicken in Diana sauce, spinach/raspberry salad with caramelized almonds
Friday – Ski night: Sandwiches on the road
Saturday – Supper for 9: Pasta with Tomato and Meat Sauce, spinach salad (again), Italian Bread
Sunday – Make your own pizza

You may want to pop over to OrgJunkie, the originator of Menu Planning Monday and check out the menus.
My better half is a big advocate of preparation the night before. So, after a big conversation about that last night, what do I find on Org Junkie this morning? You all had your menus planned for the week last night. Well, guess I better catch up.
If you are a WW fan, you might be interested in this site: note, the author was first to the post this week with her menus planned. So, organized and loosing weight – do you think the two are connected?
Here’s what will be on our table. How about yours?
Monday: No one’s home – uh oh.
Tuesday: Swim Night & Pasta Night with Carolyn’s tomato pasta sauce (no bits)
Wednesday: Choir Night – Pork Chops
Thursday: Swim Night, Teacher Interview Night, Zodiactors – home made pizza
Friday: Beef steak, baked potatos and brocolli
OK here goes for staying on top of supper time this week:
Monday: Fish, Rice and Brocoli (won’t I be popular!)
Tuesday (swim night): Pasta at our house every Tuesday
Wednesday (choir night): BBQ Pork Chops, Potatoes and Corn
Thursday (more swimming): BBQ Chicken, Rice and Peas
Friday: we’ve already planned a night out for the family, yippee, no dishes.
Head on over to the Organizing Junkie to find out what some really good cooks are up to this week.
