Menu Plan Monday - Week of February 25th

Comments on last weeks menu , we ended up not getting to several days of it, but we did have:

• Cheesy Chops & Potatoes - a family favorite


• Meatloaf - Emma liked it, Brett didn't care for it - and I thought it turned out well. I like making it in a bath of water and having the fat wicked away. Next time I would add some more seasoning to it - as it was a bit bland.


• Crock Pot Pizza - again Emma liked it, Brett not so much. I really liked it - although I would probably 1/2 the recipe next time and add more pizza sauce to it.

Monday - Leftovers - we still have meatloaf and CrockPot Pizza to finish

Tuesday - Family day & it is Braeden's choice so it will be Macaroni & Cheese with Tuna Fish

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday - Leftovers

Sunday
