This week we’re all about staying in our routine and enjoying relaxing summer evenings at home. The menus are simple and built on what’s on sale at the grocery store, a habit I’m happy to say I’ve been able to develop this year. Also, last week’s family cooks dinner on Friday experiment went very well, so we’ll be trying it again this week with a family favorite: pizza night.
- Monday: Lemon-Lime Soda Marinated Chicken Breasts with pasta salad
This recipe is a family favorite and an easy pasta salad make Monday dinner a quick fix. - Tuesday: Peppery Beef Stir-Fry with steamed rice
Now that we’re meal planning more and cooking at home more, we can enjoy take-out favorites like stir-fry and make them healthy and inexpensive. - Wednesday: Chicken and Prosciutto on Rosemary Skewers with long grain and wild rice and grilled corn
Skewers are a family favorite and I think they will enjoy this new twist on an old favorite. I’ll make extras for lunches. - Thursday: Grilled New York Strip Steak with baked potatoes and roasted asparagus
Steak on the grill is classic, easy, and loved by all. The family will enjoy this special mid-week dinner thanks to strip steak on sale at the grocery store this week. - Friday: Make Your Own Pizza Night
By request we’re having pizza night this week. The family loves getting in on the dinner action and comparing their latest creations. - Saturday: Bacon Wrapped Barbeque Shrimp with grilled vegetables and whole wheat pasta
This dinner comes together quickly and is perfect for a warm Saturday evening out on the porch. - Sunday: Orange Glazed Pork Chops with steamed broccoli and rice
This lovely Sunday dinner is homey and makes plenty of leftovers for lunches next week.

Lemon-Lime Soda Marinated Chicken Breasts looks interesting…I will have to give it a try.
The lemon lime chicken sounds good. I will have to try that sometime.
Great! I hope you try it out.

I just found your blog. I LOVE the Menu Plan Monday. Is there any way to get a printable version of everything, perhaps even your shopping list?
love how you added a personalized message about each meal you choose. also love the night of family cooks night. might have to give it a try with my 2 boys.
Kerry – if you go to foodonthetable.com, you can replicate the menu plan (and even choose different recipes), and you can print or email the shopping list!
I love pizza night.
