Menu Plan Monday 4/11

I'm going to be doing a lot of grading this week. My French III classes just presented books they wrote based on the "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" series, and while they are SO cute, they take awhile to grade... So to write my own "si (if) clause," "If you give a teacher who likes to cook a lot of grading, she will have to make easier meals for her sanity!" Here's this week's meal plan...

Sunday: Homemade Mac & cheese (I modify the recipe by using an entire box of whole wheat penne, whatever cheese I have on hand, only using about 2.5 cups of milk & 1/2 of the butter, and I just used panko bread crumbs mixed with a tiny bit of butter for the top... and I add in garlic and ground mustard... and I should probably just make my own recipe...) & green beans
Monday: leftover turkey & black bean tacos & our favorite mexican rice... I made homemade taco seasoning- this recipes is great... it's just nice knowing exactly what you are putting into your tacos! (I actually made this Friday night, so this is meal #3 out of this!)
Tuesday: Chicken & Zucchini couscous & pita bread... was supposed to make this one last week, but I had too many leftovers
Wednesday: ravioli & veggie
Thursday: omelettes & hashbrowns, fruit
Friday: pizza & salad
Saturday: potstickers, rice & egg rolls (still haven't made from a few weeks ago!)

We are also becoming slightly addicted to oatmeal... especially on the weekends... here's a great recipe I found for Baked Banana Oatmeal :-)
