Menu Monday

I go about planning my menus a little differently than most people - instead of sitting down and planning out a menu at the beginning of the week, I kind of plan as I go. I cook what I'm inspired to cook and really focus on using ingredients that are already in my refrigerator or pantry - plus things always seem so much more creative and just taste better when I cook by inspiration.

So, every Monday I will post not what I plan on cooking this week, but what I cooked last week. Hope you enjoy it!

Monday: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Homemade Canned Tomato Soup - I would share the recipe, but a friend helped me make and can it and it was just a completely insane experience (soup and salsa at once...). If you would really like it, leave a comment and I'll get it and post it.

Tuesday: Leftovers

Wednesday: Pancakes and Eggs

Thursday: Quiche - I used the recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. If anyone has a good one, PLEASE share!! Cooler weather always makes me crave quiche, but I'm looking for one with mushrooms and a mild taste.

Friday - Pesto Chicken with Tomato Parmesan Pasta and salad - The Pesto Chicken recipe comes from the South Beach Diet cookbook - SO delicious!!! I got my pesto recipe HERE.

Saturday - Leftovers

Sunday - Crock Pot Italian Bowtie Pasta with green beans
