Menu Plan Monday

Last week we tried the bread machine recipe for pizza dough from Organizing Junkie.  It was easy to make and turned out pretty well.  I would have to say it was the best one I’ve tried so far.  My daughter actually said it was the best pizza she’s ever tasted, so take that for what it’s worth. 

We’re having one of my absolute favorite foods this week–Quesadillas!!  I just can’t get enough of these.  Did I mention how much I love them??!!  I do have a question for anyone who reads this.  I would love to hear how you make your quesadillas.  Do you use butter, oil, non-stick spray or a combination of a couple of these to prep your pan?  This is one thing I haven’t mastered yet with my quesadillas.  They either turn out too dry or too greasy, so if you have any advice, I’d love to hear it in the comments.

 

Here is this week’s menu:

Monday–Chicken Quesadillas, spanish rice, salad (Maybe we’ll even break out some Margaritas for Cinco De Mayo–wish it fell on a Friday)

Tuesday–Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Corn

Wednesday–Chicken Patty Sandwich, Mac n cheese, mixed veggies

Thursday-Pasta with meat sauce, salad, garlic bread

FridayTangy Grilled Pork Tenderloin, couscous, beans (leftover from last week–didn’t get around to making it)

Saturday–Leftovers or Going out

Sunday–Mother’s Day –You’ve got to be kidding me if you think that I’m cooking today.  We’ll probably end up visiting our moms today.  Hopefully they’ll feed us.

To see more weekly menus, head on over to Organizing Junkie.

    Oh I’m so glad you liked the pizza dough recipe. I also LOVE quesadillas and all I do is spray a bit of oil on each side of the tortilla and that’s it. So good! Have a great week :)

    Snap on the quesadillas! I’ve never made them before – the recipe I have is for baked quesadillas so it should be an adventure for me :)

    Your week looks great!

    I make quesadillas with Pam Cooking Spray, DH uses oil. I don’t have to tell you why he has high cholesterol!!

    We are celebrating Cinco De Mayo on Saturday with some Margarita’s. I don’t care what day it falls on, I celebrate when I feel like it.

    Have a wonderful week!!

    I use a griddle with light (very extremely light) brush of olive oil….and I only reoil it every 4 or 5 ‘dillas.

    I usually spray the pan with a little Pam, but sometimes I use butter for the flavor.

    Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful week!

    I make my quesadillas with country crock (I have no idea if that’s butter or margarine). I spread it as thin as I can on the tortilla, and mine turn out pretty good. In a pinch, I’ll use PAM, but it’s too dry for me.
    Thanks for the feedback on my menu! I taught 2nd grade, BTW, in addition to drill team and chorus for 4th&5th grades, and tutoring for 3rd.
