Melanie Makes Menu Plan 2015 – Week 7

A visual menu of what we’ll be eating for dinner each night this week, including links to each recipe with multiple photos for each dish.

So much going on this week… A four day weekend, house guests, dentist appointments, a few house projects – I’m exhausted thinking about it.  Oh, and you know, this baby that’s set to arrive a month from today.  This definitely calls for an easy week of menu ideas!

Have you made one of my recipes?  Snap a photo and share on Instagram using the hashtag #melaniemakes. I love to see what you’ve been creating in the kitchen!  You can also follow me on Instagram, here.

Here’s what we’ll be eating this week: 

Meatless Monday: Roasted Tomato and Green Chile Soup.  What better way to start your week than a steaming bowl of soup?  Especially when I may or may not add a large – and I do mean large! – handful of shredded cheese to the top.

I’ve selected Monday as a night of the week for our family to eat a meatless meal as it tends to be more budget friendly as well as a friendlier option for the environment. My meat and potato eating husband tends to go along with this idea because I also make him a yummy dessert in addition to his meatless meal. What can I say? I’m nice like that!

Tuesday: Rosemary Popcorn Crusted Chicken Parmesan.  Here’s to making dinner time a bit more playful by coating chicken tenders in popcorn!

Wednesday: Spaghetti and Easy Baked Meatballs.  Any day is the perfect time for pasta.  At least according to me!  These Easy Baked Meatballs are exactly as their name implies – easy and baked – ready in no time.

Thursday: Chicken with Roasted Lemons and Green Olives.  Wake up your taste buds with this inventive flavor combination!  I love roasted everything and lemons are absolutely no exception!  

Friday: Pizza with Perfect Pizza Crust.  Friday night is pizza night!  No matter what toppings we choose, the base is always the same and the end result is delicious.
