I've realized that I need to start planning my weekly menu earlier in the weekend, so I can get the shopping done and can plan Sundays better.
I like to think ahead for my Sunday cooking and either make something that will give nice leftovers for lunches, or that I can use as a component for future dinners. This week uses the latter strategy.
Sunday - Italian Cream Cheese Chicken with rice and peas.
Monday - Chicken Spaghetti Bake. Recipe is hidden under "Sample Recipe 1." I'll be using the leftover chicken, peppers & onions from Sunday. I'll probably add the cream cheese sauce too, just to use it up.
Tuesday - Ham fried rice, using the leftover rice from Sunday.
Wednesday - Mexican pizza.
Thursday - Black bean quesadillas.
Friday - Burgers on the grill. Probably with potato salad & baked beans. This is likely to be our final time grilling burgers for the season, and I do want to get another time in before we call it quits for the year.

I like to do my planning towards the end of the work week so that I can shop EARLY on Saturday or Sunday after church if necessary.

The Italian Cream Cheese Chicken sounds great! Your menu looks good!
Have a great week!
I'm with the other people who commented - that Italian Cream Cheese Chicken has just made it on to my menu this week. Yum!
I know what you mean about meal planning earlier. I plan for 2 weeks worth but sometimes doesn't get done. I try to add things to my next menu using Recipe Zaar by what sounds good from MPM, our faves, etc. Have a great week!
We still have a few more months of using the grill. I do love burgers, beans and potato salad!
