Menu Plan Monday 4/20-4/26

**Another week is upon us so that means it is time for another menu plan! This is just a plan and it could change on the cook’s whim!

Spring weather is upon us! We have had gorgeous weather this past week so much so that we had grilled burgers twice! This week, hubby has a work conference in town so he will not be eating with us on two different nights. So I am planning on kid friendly meals or leftovers to make dinner happen those nights. I am working at reducing my pantry stock so I am shopping from home this week to get meals on the table.

Lunches listed are for the kids and me. Hubby usually takes dinner leftovers each day (however, this week it is up to the kids and I to eat the leftovers as hubby will have lunch provided for him at his conference).

A special thanks to Laura-Organizing Junkie for hosting Menu Plan Monday! Need help with your menus, go check other delicious meal plans that have been linked at her site! **

Thanks for visiting my site and leaving a comment! I like your snack basket idea. To reply to your deli meat in the pepperoni bread suggestion on my post.. I have tried it with ham and cheddar cheese, it is very yummy. I also did ground beef with chilli powder seasoning and cheddar cheese once and it was also good. Have a great week!!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your snack basket idea- that must come in awfully handy with five kiddos! Have a great week in spite of your husband being gone so much. :)

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Your menu looks deelish. It's definitely something I might actually use for myself. Good luck sticking to it and enjoy that Little Caesar's. Yum!
