Menu Plan Monday

Does it fill like fall where you live? It has been unseasonably warm in our part of the country. We have been creating the 'fall feel' in our house with this

It smells divine.
.Target.
Go get one, you won't regret it :)

Now, on to our menu...

I'm only going to list our main dish and any special sides I decide to add to the menu. I serve a salad and raw veggies at each meal. In addition to our meals, our main snacks consist of fresh apples, bananas, nuts, nut butters, smoothies, and occasionally crackers/dry cereal.
The grocery store clerk asked me if I was in charge of taking apples and bananas for a school snack. Yeah, something like that *grin* I guess she thinks 12# of apples and 6# of bananas are too many for one family. What can I say? We love our apples and bananas.
What are your favorite snacks?

MONDAY: Grilled Salmon, Potatoes on the Grill, Homemade Dinner Rolls
TUESDAY: Chicken and Brown Rice
WEDNESDAY: Grilled Hamburgers, Homemade Bread
THURSDAY: Steak and Veggie Stir-Fry with Brown Rice
FRIDAY: Grilled something, we're having company, still deciding on menu
SATURDAY: Homemade Pizza
SUNDAY: Crock-pot Bean Dip & Taco salads with Tortilla Chips

What is your favorite thing to serve when you have company?

Thanks for visiting - I'll definitely work on getting a homemade tortilla recipe up soon!

Our go-to for company is grilled something, homemade pilaf, a great big green salad and homemade bread. It's always a big hit and easy - I make the pilaf, salad and bread earlier in the day, throw the pilaf in the crockpot on warm and have hubby take care of the grill.
