What's Cookin' This Week (Dec 6 - 12)?

Here is my meal plan for the upcoming week - what I have lined up for dinner from Dec. 6- 12, 2010:

(Note: For my family, breakfast is usually a rotation of oatmeal, muffins, pancakes, banana or other fruit, cereal or toast.  On weekends, I will sometimes cook classic or new twists to french toast, egg casserole, a hash brown dish or more.  When I do, I'll share those here.  Lunch is usually leftovers, soup or sandwich.  Therefore in my weekly meal plans, I usually only concentrate on dinners and 2-3 snacks per week).



Monday, Dec. 6 - Hamburger (Sheperd's) Pie, side salad


Tuesday, Dec. 7 - Avocado Chicken Salad, guacamole dip and chips (guacamole recipe is from my cookbook)


Wednesday, Dec. 8 - Leftovers or Family Dinner Outing


Thursday, Dec. 9 - Ham and Potato Casserole (recipe is from my cookbook)


Friday, Dec. 10 - Hot dogs and Sloppy Joes (recipe for Sloppy Joes is from my cookbook)


Saturday, Dec. 11 - Shrimp and Grits - will modify this recipe for it, I think


Sunday, Dec. 12 - Sweet and Savory Meatballs, side of corn and salad


Woo-hoo, it's going to be a yummy dinner week in my household!  There will be a lot of leftovers too.  But they'll be going straight into my freezer so I can eat them again in a few weeks when I don't feel like cooking!


Here are the snack and desserts I hope to make this week too:
