Menu Plan Monday

I haven't done a MPM post in a little long while!  Now remember, this is flexible.  Especially if the hubby decides on a romantic whim to take me out for a nice quiet sushi dinner. (Oh wait, I was day-dreaming, because we have kids and nice and quiet just doesn't go along with toddlers and eating out)

I also no longer assign the meals to a specific day because sometimes things come up or just don't thaw out in time!  Of course it would never be because I forget.
Anyways, here goes.

Crockpot Chicken (smeared and slathered with that new Philly Cooking Cream stuff...50cents at Publix last week, yes mam!  Served with tri-color pasta and green beans.

Spaghetti with angel hair pasta, garlic toast,broccoli

Salmon, Rice, Peas  (sounds so simple doesn't it)

Mexican Lasagna (literally layering your taco seasoned meat of choice with black beans and corn, and tortillas instead of pasta....I sprinkle with cheese on top!)  Oh, and don't you just love a one dish dinner!

Homemade Pizzas, Fruit

Chicken and Broccoli Tater Tot Casserole, Green Beans, Rolls

And my favorite....Drum roll please........ Leftover Buffet!

Menu Plan Monday

Here is our meal list for this week!

1.  (Labor Day Celebration w/ family)  Hot Dogs, Baked Beans, Chips
2.  Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo, Garlic Toast 
     -I love to make this from scratch but this week Paul Newman's Alfredo was on sale cheapo!  I can't  
      make it for that price.)  Mueller's Pasta was also on sale for 34cents.  We but the broccoli in bulk at   
     Sam's Club because we eat so much of it!
3. Robin's Roast, Brown Rice, Green Beans (Robin's Roast recipe at the end of post)
4. Chicken Pot Pie
5.  Roast, Mashed Potatoes, Peas
     -Yes, we are eating this roast two nights this week without a new spin on it...we love it and there are
     tons of leftovers. 
6. Grilled Venison Tenderloins, Homemade Onion Rings, Steamfresh Veggies
7. Leftover Buffet


Let me tell you about Robin's Roast!  My friend Robin cooks the most delicious roast you will ever feast upon.  I on the other hand have never been about to cook one without it turning into beef jerky.  I know folks, "Don't you just put it in the crockpot?"  I hear this from everyone!  Yes, I do put it in my handy dandy crockpot and it turns out dry as a bone...if not drier!!! 

I begged her to teach me.  I was still pessimistic.  But I was so very tired of hearing that my husband grew up eating roast after church almost EVERY Sunday, and it was delicious, and moist, and EASY!!!  Blah Blah Blah.

This is what Robin told me to do.

-Sear roast on both sides in hot non stick pan.
-Place roast of your choosing in dutch oven or large lidded casserole dish.  
(Wait a minute...roast of your choosing?  I had searched the globe for just the right cut of meat!)
-Pour one can of cream of chicken soup over roast, and sprinkle with onion soup mix.
-Scatter sliced onions around edges of roast.
-Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
-Turn down oven to 250 degrees and bake for another 3+ hours or until ready to serve.

Now, I am no roast connoisseur.  This was, however, the best roast I have ever eaten.  I was amazed with myself, and my hubby fell in love with me all over again.  I had redeemed myself after years of feeding him roast failure!  My Mama even started using this recipe!  THANK YOU ROBIN!!!!!  You are my Roast Hero!
