Menu Plan Monday

Looking for my menu? You might skip down a paragraph, unless you want to hear my opinion of a fairly new product on the market that we used (unplanned, of course) in our menu last week. I typically don't do "reviews" on this site, and I'm not getting any kickback for this one, but my mom gave us a three-pack of salad dressings from the Wish-Bone Bountifuls line, and hubby and I really liked it! Just as I was about to pound out the chicken to make Simple Chicken Cordon Bleu, he informed me he wanted his without the ham and cheese. WHAT?! That's the whole point! So, I reached into the cupboard determined to try something new and placed my hands on a bottle of Wish-Bone Bountifuls Tuscan Romano Basil dressing (for my recipe, which is embarrasingly easy, click here). It was delicious and sooo simple. :) And, now that I've visited the Wish-Bone website, I see they have recipes listed for each flavor; I'm adding one to this week's menu plan (see First Time Friday below)!

When I saw your link on orgjunkie.com, I thought you were serving up Wild Squirrel for dinner. Glad to know it's not on your menu! Thanks for sharing...especially the First Time Friday links.

Hmmmm . . . Wild Squirrel, you're scaring me. Just kidding. I love your menu plans and they've been helpful for me!

Glad you like them, Jen! (Though, it's a purely selfish endeavor. Without the menu plan, I'd be at a loss every night for dinner.) :)
