Menu Plan Monday 3/21/11

As I sit here on Saturday morning trying to plan for the week, I am all alone.  So sad {sniff, sniff}.....BaaaHaaHaaa............:o)
Well, it is actually a little quiet for menu planning.  Usually, I have different requests coming in from all sides and it inspires me to either include an oldie but goodie recipe or to try something different.  Maybe the fact that I am alone will make me decide to use up some freezer items and shop only for essentials this week.  Today, though, I guess I'm on my own.
The highlight from last week would have to be the recipe that I didn't actually plan to have, but was amazingly easy and good tasting.  I used this recipe with my free Kraft Philly Santa Fe Cooking Creme.  The only "change" was to use Rotel tomatoes instead of plain ones.  We definitely like it spicy around here.
Anyways, it's back to school for the kids, which means back to crazy for me.  My plan is to keep it super simple this week for my sanity.  Even on my day off, I have lots of appointments and obligations.
I hope that your week is blessed.
