Menu Plan Monday – 4/26/2010

I can’t believe the month of April is almost over.   I am truly enjoying menu planning.  It reduces the guesswork of figuring out what to cook every night.  And, it’s been a blast trying new recipes and foods.  I have found that menu planning also helps me be more organized when I go to grocery shopping.  It’s a more streamlined process.

Here’s what I’ll be whipping up in my kitchen this week:

• Monday: Salisbury Steaks and roasted vegetables
• Tuesday: Pasta Salad with Shrimp, Peppers & Olives
• Wednesday: Healthified Bean and Salsa Chicken Wrap (I’ll probably serve a simple side salad with this)
• Thursday: Vegetarian Taco Salad
• Friday: Mediterranean Turkey Burgers
• Saturday: Broiled Tilapia with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce (Can you believe this is a Weight Watchers-friendly recipe?)
• Sunday: Coffee-Braised Pot Roast with Caramelized Onions
