Disney Movie Rewards: 50 point bonus code!

Disney Movie Rewards points

If you collect Disney Movie Rewards points, there is a new 50 point bonus code available!  If you aren’t collecting Disney Movie Rewards points yet, you should be!  It’s completely free you can find codes inside the boxes of Disney movies and they will also send you free codes by e-mail.  You can use your points to get free Disney merchandise including gift cards, movies, and more!  I saved up my points and cashed out for several $10 Disney Store gift cards recently that we just used on our Disney World trip!  The holidays will be here before you know it and you may be able to score some FREE giftswith your rewards points!

Click here to register for Disney Movie Rewards if you’re not registered already–> Disney Movie Rewards registration

Here is the code you can add to your account for 50 bonus points  points:  M1D1776BVE54 (valid through 10/15/12)

NOTE:  This is a “bonus” code, so the points won’t be applied in your account until you add a code from a participating movie.  This must be added by 10/15/12.  I usually hang on to my codes until bonus offers like this one come along!  If you purchased Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 you should be able to get DOUBLE bonus points PLUS the 50 point bonus!  That’s my plan!  It should total 300 points!

Menu Plan Monday: my menu plan for the week of 9/23

You’ll be seeing me post a lot in the next couple of weeks about budgeting and how to get your budget on track.  One of the biggest ways we’ve been able to cut expenses and stick to our budget is through menu planning!  I work full time and how two school-aged kids who have after school activities almost every day, so we’re busy.  These are quick and easy recipes that our whole family loves!  Most of them can be thrown into the slow cooker with less than 5 minutes prep time!

If you’re new to menu planning or would like tips for getting started, check out this post here–> Tips for menu planning

You can also view hundreds of meal plans each week at Orgjunkie.com

SUNDAY:  French dip sandwiches – This is a family favorite and I love it because it literally takes minutes to throw it into the slow cooker and it cooks all day!  Prep time, including shredding the meat before you’re ready to eat it, is about 5 minutes!  NO KIDDING!

I also made this, which is another family favorite, to take to a family that just had a baby:

Chicken tortilla soup

MONDAY:  Black Bean and Chicken Burritos – This is my “knock off recipe” from a place called Cafe Rio that we used to love!  It’s super easy to throw together!

TUESDAY:  Melt in Your Mouth Meatloaf  – Yes, it’s meatloaf and yet it’s a hit every time I make it…one of those recipes I can never go wrong with!

WEDNESDAY:  Slow Cooker Chicken Lickin’ Good Pork Chops – Another super easy recipe that my family loves!

THURSDAY:  Balsamic Chicken (slow cooker) – This recipe was posted by Holly on the Simply Clean Living blog.  We’ve tried it a few times now and it is a hit with our family.

Ingredients:
4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves – approx. 1.5 to 2 lbs.
½ C. Olive Oil
½ – 1 C. Balsamic Vinegar – depending on how tangy you like the recipe
1 large can of diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
3-4 cloves of garlic minced or pressed
2 t. crushed dry oregano

Combine all ingredients in Crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Shred chicken with a fork and serve chicken and sauce over rice or angel hair pasta. The consistency and taste of the sauce is sweet and tangy like an Italian barbeque sauce.

FRIDAY:  Chuck E Cheese – The school where I work is having “spirit night” so I’m going to show my support plus I’m using it to bribe my kdis this week!

SATURDAY:  Bourbon chicken – Keli shared this recipe awhile back in a Menu Planning Monday post on her blog.  Our family loves it and it’s fairly easy to make!

Ingredients:
1 1/2-2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite size pieces)
1-2 T olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 tsp ginger
3/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 c. apple juice (in the comments section on Recipezaar, some people substituted pineapple juice or orange juice)
1/3 c. light brown sugar
2 T ketchup
1 T cider vinegar (in the comments section on Recipezaar, some people substituted balsamic vinger or did half and half)
1/2 c. water
1/3 c. soy sauce
Directions:
Heat oil in a large skillet. Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned. Remove chicken. Add remaining ingredients, heating over medium heat until well dissolved. Add chicken and bring to a hard boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve over hot rice.
NOTES: On Recipezaar, some people mixed cornstarch and water and added it at the end to thicken the sauce.
