Monday – Winter Minestrone Soup (with leftover prime rib)

Tuesday – Leftovers

Wednesday – Traveling all day.  Whatever Mom is making 🙂  I love the holidays

Menu Plan Monday

MPM

Thanks to Menu Plan Monday for helping me save time and money every week for meals!  Here is my list of meals planned this week:

Monday: Caramelized Onion Chicken with green beans (I used pureed blueberries instead of the raspberry jam)

Tuesday: Leftover Soup

Wednesday: Breakfast Scramble (use up the left over veggies from this weekend)

Thursday: Taco Soup (see recipe below)

Friday: Mushroom-Herb Chicken with mashed yams

Saturday: Dinner with Friends

Taco Soup

This is a great quick and easy meal to make.  I have seen many different varieties of this meal, which makes it great for everyone.  I put out the toppings and let everyone choose.  Here is how I make this meal:

Cook 1 lb Ground Turkey or Ground Beef

Combine in one pot:

Cooked Meat

2 cans of beans (your choice) I use kidney beans and pinto beans

1 can of corn

1 16 oz jar of salsa (your choice) or you can season the meat with taco seasoning if you prefer

Toppings:

Cheese

Green Onions

Sour Cream

Avocado

Black Olives

Anything else you might have on hand

 Additional idea: serve over Fritos/chips for an additional crunch.
