Feb. 11, 2008 - Menu Plan Monday
Here's my Menu Plan for this week including Valentines Day! 
Monday - Stir Fry with snap peas, sweet red pepper, mushroom, onions and flank steak served over brown rice. I'll "kick it up a notch" with some chili garlic sauce!
Tuesday - Chicken Strips and Mac 'n' cheese (This is an easy dinner that my 14 yr. old can make - hubby and I are going out!)
Wednesday - Pot Roast with potatoes & gravy, carrots. For delicious pot roast use "beef round rump roast" and cook it in a covered pot on top of the stove (as the recipe name suggests!) - skip the crock pot, it's just not as good!
Thursday - Our Valentine Meal with the family will include:
Easy Lasagna (recipe below),
mixed green salad,
heart-shaped foccacia,
strawberries & whipped cream,
sparkly pink ginger ale served in tall glasses.
Friday - Turkey Soup & biscuits (Friday's are super busy as we are gone all day so I'm pulling this out of the freezer, my wonderful friend gave me some last week! :D)
Saturday - Cheeseburgers & fry's, plus Saturday is always Ice Cream Night!
Here's the Easy Lasagna recipe:
16 oz. package of Wide Egg Noodles - boiled
1 lb. ground beef (or mix 1/2 beef and 1/2 italian sausage)
large jar of spaghetti sauce
16 oz. cottage cheese
16 oz. sour cream
8 oz. shredded mozzerella
Brown & drain beef. Mix noodles, cottage cheese, sour cream & beef. Spread a layer of sauce in a 9x13 pan, spread a layer of beef mixture, then more sauce & some shredded mozzerella, rest of beef mixture, more sauce and top off with remainder shredded mozzerella.
Cover with foil and back at 350 F until heated through, (maybe 40 minutes- you know your oven!) and then uncover and finish baking about 10 minutes more or until cheese is melted and lasagne is bubbly.

Amy,
Your menu sounds yummy! The chocolate covered strawberries and heart shaped foccaccia is just too cute.
I just wanted to stop in and say hi. How is everything?
