Welcome back to Menu Plan Monday! I’m excited to share my family’s plan for the week here with you. I hope you will take a few of these suggestions and incorporate them into your plan. Don’t get bogged down in the details but do jot down a plan for the week to make more time to focus on what is most important at the table, your family.
Monday – Spinach Manicotti with Italian Salad
Spinach Manicotti
1 box manicotti, cooked and drained
2 c. cottage cheese
2 eggs
½ c. parmesan cheese
10 oz. pkg. frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 jar spaghetti sauce
2 c. shredded mozzarella
Mix drained spinach with cottage cheese, egg, and parmesan cheese. Fill manicotti with this mixture and place in a greased oblong baking dish. Cover with spaghetti sauce, and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. This makes a large amount. You can divide it into two baking dishes and freeze one if your family doesn’t need that much at once.
Tuesday – Pot Roast with Carrots, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans (save your leftover roast beef for Friday night’s dinner)
Wednesday – Our family has a catered dinner at church on Wednesday nights. For a busy weeknight alternative, we love breakfast for dinner.
