Menu Planning Monday: My Menu Plan for the week of 9/9

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve had a hard time getting back into a routine of menu planning and finding time to throw meals together before I leave for work in the morning, but I keep trying!  Here’s my plan for this week!

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:  Chicken Tortilla soup (slow cooker) – This is one of my family’s favorite recipes. It’s also one of my favorite recipes to throw together when I’m short on time because I usually have everything on hand and it is literally a “dump and go” recipe!

MONDAY:  Spinach Wraps  – This is a quick and easy meal when I don’t have time to prepare anything in the morning!  I buy Spinach Wraps, a Caesar salad mix, and Tyson grilled chicken strips.  I mix the chicken and Caesar salad mix together and fill the wraps.  Everyone loves it!

TUESDAY:  Slow Cooker Chile Colorado burritos – I discovered this recipe on Pinterest and it has become a family favorite.  I could make it once a week and no one would complain!

WEDNESDAY:  Chicken Lickin’ Good Pork Chops (slow cooker) – This is another quick and easy recipe to make that is always a hit with my family!

THURSDAY:  Cream cheese chicken (slow cooker)

FRIDAY:  Melt in Your Mouth Meatloaf (slow cooker)

SATURDAY:  Sweet potato foil pack tacos ~ I found this recipe on Marci’s blog.  My family was skeptical the first time we tried these, but once they actually tasted them, they were a hit, even with my kids! (and that’s not an easy feat!)  I love this recipe because it’s low maintenance and yummy!

Target FREE and under $1 deals for the week of 9/9


Here’s my Target Top Under $1 deals of the week. Keep in mind that pricing may vary by area. Always check your local ad to confirm that they have the “weekly deals.”   Make sure you check out the changes to the Target coupon policy here.  Also, Target printables can disappear VERY quickly (sometimes within a few hours), s0 make sure you print the ones you want as soon as they come out!
