Meal Plan Monday 9/19

It's Monday again! Back to the beginning of the work week! Did you have a great weekend? 


Here's the meal plan for the week! It's a Google Document Spreadsheet. You can download it/save it to your computer and edit it to your heart's content! (Please do not post this on your blog, website, etc. without giving me credit, though. It takes time and effort planning/making these!) I'm super excited about two of these meals that I've never made before!

Review: I felt like it was lacking flavor. I added some cayenne paper to it, but it still didn't make it overly interesting. It was easy to make, though kind of high maintenance since I couldn't really walk away from the stove. (Didn't want it to burn, clump, or the milk to curdle.) The end result just wasn't worth all of the work in my opinion. I also wouldn't recommend this as a meal. The hubs and I decided it would be a pretty good side dish though. It just wasn't as satisfying as an entree should be. If we added bacon crumbles and/or toasted breadcrumbs, it might have been a bit more satisfying.

2. Crock Pot Creamy Southwest Chicken Soup:

Review: We LOVED this soup! Not only was it SUPER easy to make (it took me less than 10 minutes to put it all in the crockpot, turn it on and go) but it was super delicious! The only thing I would recommend is that if you want some for the next day or to freeze OR you have more than 2-3 people in your house, double the recipe. It made enough for us for dinner and then a little left for me to have the next day, but this recipe did not make an over abundance of soup. The taste, though, was to die for, and it was hearty, satisfying, and filling! This is sure to be a Bailey Family Favorite!

Did you try any of the recipes from last week? What did you think? How did the meal plan work out for you, if you used it? I hope you have a yummy week! 

If you could take 2 seconds and give this a click, it would mean so much to me! Thank you!!
