This weekend sure went by in the blink of an eye and here we are, yet again, creating another Meal Plan. We also finally finished our Office Makeover and this week I will be posting all the little #DYI projects that went along with the office Remodel, be sure to check them out and maybe get some ideas of your own.
Yup, just had to show you a sneak peek; I’m soo excited that we are finally done and that it’s looking great and feels wonderful. Especially the Window seat, nice to take a nap now and then, yup.. tested and approved by every member in the family…LOL…
Okay, on to what’s cooking this week. Since I was so busy I took off to Pinterest to get some dinner ideas. Check out what we will dish up and would love to hear your Meal Plan as well.
Monday: Sloppy Joe Casserole with Salad
Tuesday: Chicken Parm Meatballs with Potato Gratin
Wednesday: Salmon Steaks with Hoisin Glaze and pasta/veggies
Thursday: Italian Sausage Melt with Salad
Friday: Beef Macaroni Casserole with Salad
Saturday: Beef Stroganoff Sandwich & Salad
Sunday: Mom’s night off… dinner at Mimi’s House ….![]()
There you have it.. another week dished up…. Enjoy and don’t forget to share what you are dishing up this week. For more ideas, be sure to visit I’m an Organizing Junkie.

I found you “What’s Cooking Monday” post several weeks ago and have to let you know that I’ve been hooked ever since. I really appreciate that you post a variety of ideas, but then also link to recipes so that it is easy to follow. My family knows about “What’s Cooking Monday” now and always ask what I found for the new week.
Melanie Roberts says
Hahah Daisy that made my day 🙂 Soo glad I can help ….. thanks for checking it out….
Grace Hodgin says
I love that you post a menu for the week. It makes your blog so unique and so helpful for uninspired cooks like me. I love your office space so when I get my new home I’ll invite you to help me.

Sure Ms. Grace.. I’ll come and help you with your new crib … no problem 🙂 Thanks for checking out our Meal Plan…
Kristyn Kilcullen says
omg i love your office and love the menu of foods for the week!
Pam says
I love the look of the new office, Melanie. You need to come over and help me get organized. The menu looks good too. I keep telling you to move to GA and invite me over to supper. 🙂
Melanie Roberts says
We should compromise… you move to Florida and I help you organize ….. sounds like a deal 🙂 and then we can cook together in our “spare” time ..lol
Melissa says
Can I have your office please??? I love you menu plan this week. I was looking for something to cook on Thursday I think I just found it. Might have to try the Sloppy Joe Casserole. Thanks so much for sharing.
Melanie Roberts says
Hey Melissa… I will be posting a lot of the DYI things I did in the office, maybe you will get some ideas, be sure to check them out…. and I know, i can’t wait to try the Sloppy Joe Casserole, too… My Son loves Sloppy Joe’s
Melinda says
Your menu plan looks yummy!
Great job on your office. It’s always great to finish projects like that.

You sweetie, you will love the salmon with hoisin glaze. I love all of your ideas, you are such an inspiration to me each week. Someday I aspire to be like you and have the whole week mapped out in advance, what a time saver that would be!

Melanie Roberts says
Thanks Courtney, it is… LOVING it….
Janet W. says
What a great line-up of meals! I bet you’re looking forward to the Salmon Steaks with Hoisin Glaze and pasta/veggies .
Sandy VanHoey says
I should create a menu like you do. That is a great idea because of days like today, I don’t have a clue what I’ll be making. Makes life much easier I’d say. I have mentioned that to my daughter before but we still have yet to do it.
Melanie Roberts says
Trust me, our weekly menu is a LIFESAVER(!!) we don’t scramble at 5pm to figure out what to cook and end up at a drive thru…
Betty Baez says
the chicken parm meatballs look amazing!!! ill have to try those!
Danielle says
We have a once a week dinner with the grandparents! I love that I don’t have to cook once a week!
Laura Jacobson says
Oh I just love this post each week! I am so tired of the same old meals I make each week and I always find such neat ideas! Those chicken parmesan meatballs look really good! Thanks so much for doing this….
Melanie Roberts says
Soo glad I can help Laura and it helps you a little every week 🙂 Love when you come over to check it out…
Jen S says
I have a few odds and ends left overs that I may try a twist on Italian Sausage Melt tomorrow night – I have left over sausage, spaghetti sauce instead of Alfredo and canned tomatoes will sub for the grape tomatoes so I don’t have to head back to the grocery stores. I’ll have to let you know how it turns out. My rule… it may not always be the best trial and error, but should at least be edible! There are only a few times we chose to toss out an experiment’s leftovers, so I guess it’s a success. 🙂
Melanie Roberts says
Love your idea and can’t wait to hear how it turned out… sure sounds YUMMY
Jen S says
Turned out great! Or at least hubby and I thought so. Kids noticed the peppers and ate just a bit of crust (which they did like) and cheese and left the rest. But I’ll enjoy the leftovers for my lunch next week!
Melanie Roberts says
Glad you guys liked it… I will try it next week.. sure sounded great your “variation” …. thanks for letting me know
