Monthly Menu- October/November


Finally, I'm getting around to making up a menu. Part of the reason it's been delayed is that we have been adjusting our budget and have begun to start our budget more in the middle of the month instead of the beginning. So my menus now will not start at the beginning of the month, which probably doesn't matter a whole lot to you...

Week 1 (Oct. 25-29)

Tuesday
Tamale Pie
Totally stole the idea to make this from my sister-in-law's menu, but it was a favorite in our house growing up, and I don't think I've ever made it for my husband!
Wednesday
Butternut Squash & Carrot Soup with Sandwiches
I am sort of going out on a limb by trying a squash soup, as I have never had one, but it sounds good and healthy and I think it will be worth a try!
Thursday
Honey-Ginger Chicken Stir Fry with White Rice
Delicious, healthy and easy!
Friday
Saturday
My birthday, so...not sure yet what's going on. ;)

Week 2 (Nov. 1-5)

Tuesday
Lasagna with Rolls and a Salad
Not a true lasagna, but an easier and still delicious cousin. I'm going to try swapping turkey for the ground beef.
Wednesday
Lentil & Turkey Italian Sausage Soup with Biscuits or Cornbread
Hearty and healthy!
Thursday
Amish Pumpkin Pancakes with Turkey Bacon and Fresh Fruit
I'm so excited to try this recipe from Catz in the Kitchen!
Friday
Saturday
Creamy Chicken Taquitos with Spanish Rice
Delicious homemade taquitos from Our Best Bites.

Week 3 (Nov. 8-12)

Tuesday
Wednesday
Chicken Tortilla Soup
From the freezer.
Thursday
Pork Chops and Mashed Potatoes
I think I'll use my homemade "Shake 'n' Bake"
Friday
Pizza
Saturday
Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese
We'll be leaving on a trip Tuesday, so I'm hoping my cupboards will be mostly empty by this time...

Other:
Green Bean Casserole 
For our Thanksgiving-style potluck
Hamburger Vegetable Soup
For our Harvest Carnival

  1. Ooh, I made the list a few times, LOL! I've been wanting to make a butternut squash soup, but I've never tasted one either. You will have to let me know how it is :)
