September Menu Plan – 2010
So here we are already…time for another Monthly Menu Plan. Wow! Is it really almost September? Can someone please slow down the time?
Even though I’m a Summer gal, love the Summer, love the heat…I do also love Fall, especially for the comfort foods and the baking possibilities. All the delicious apples and pumpkins…Mmmm, I can hardly wait!
I’ve decided to streamline my Monthly Menu a little more, and add a theme to each day of the week. Mondays ~ Quick & Easy/Crockpot, Tuesdays ~ Breakfast/Make-Ahead, Wednesdays ~ Mexican, Thursdays ~ Italian, Friday ~ Kid Friendly, Saturdays ~ New Recipe, Sundays ~ Family Meal. By adding the themed nights, it’s made my menu planning even more simply than it already was.
I recently received a copy of the Copykat.com’s Dining Out Cookbook, we have chosen several to add to our September Menu Plan. I’ve also added a few meals from Delicious Dishes Linky Party over on Blog Party, some old Fall favorites and a few that I’ve seen around the web recently that sound really yummy! I’d love for you to join us at Blog Party, the party starts every morning at 7 a.m.

This post has been selected one of my great posts of the week. Here is the link to my post: http://www.jdaniel4smom.com/2010/09/great-posts-i-came-across-this-week_11.html .
Great looking menu as always. I wanted to check out your recipe for Mashed Potato Casserole, but the link keeps taking me to your recipe for Meatballs in Gravy. 🙁
@April, Hi April, that recipe is on the budget friendly meal page, if you keep scrolling all the way, you should see it. Sorry for the confusion.

What a great idea to make a monthly menu plan! While a weekly plan works wonders, a monthly menu plan will really free up more time!
Hope you enjoy the Cowgirl casserole like we did! 🙂
and i thought I was doing good by planning a week in advance! lol
This looks like a yummy menu plan! Thanks for linking to my Italian chicken pitas, I hope you like them as much as we did. 🙂
Thanks for linking to my Oatmeal Bars! =) I hope you enjoy them!
Looking good! I am going to bookmark those Red Lobster biscuits. They are divine!
