Menu Plan Monday 01/21/13



Welcome back for another edition of Menu Plan Monday!
This week we are celebrating my mom's birthday and Martin Luther King, Jr. day, going to MOPS, the dentist, lego club, toddler time, and of course our homeschool co-op. We have something going on every day. I am so thankful that I am able to sit down and make our menu up for the whole month! It is also supposed to snow a lot this week, so we will be staying inside as much as possible! :)
This week's menu:

Pasta with tomato cream sauce
Herb Roasted Pork Tenderloin with cornmeal cakes (we missed this one last week!)

Stir Fry and Pho- I STILL have not gotten to eat this!!

White Bean and Sausage Rigatoni

Pizza

Lazy Day Stew

Enchilada Casserole


Our breakfasts and lunches will be the usual, unless I can come up with something more exciting. If I do, I will be sure to share!
If you are looking for more menu ideas, head over to I'm an Organizing Junkie!

See you again next week!!

Tupperware Tuesday


Welcome back! I promised a recipe this week, so that is what you will get! :)
This is definitely one of my favorites. It is fast, easy, and tastes great! It is chocolate, though, so how could it not taste great?!

Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients:
                     1 cup cold milk
                     1 package instant chocolate pudding
                     1 (sm) container whipped topping
                     1 Tablespoon Cinnamon Vanilla Seasoning
Supplies:

                     Quick Shake Container
                     Stuffable Container
                     Measuring spoon
Directions:
                    Pour 1 cup milk into QuickShake Container. Add pudding mix and seasoning blend. I always tell my party attendants to shake it until it feels like pudding. Once you start shaking, you will know when it happens! It only takes about 10 seconds! Then you just mix this with the whipped topping in the stuffable container. That's it! I told you it was easy!
I like to serve mine with fresh cut strawberries, graham crackers, pretzels, or anything else you can dip in chocolate! A plain spoon works great, too! ;)

Try it! You will love it, I Promise!
Come back and let me know what you think!





Tupperware Tuesday!


I have somehow managed to miss Tuesday two weeks in a row now! Back to school and lesson plans takes up so much time! So, I am just going to post today! I hope that's okay with you! :)
Last week, a new mid-month flyer came out. I love theses little things! There are always so many great deals! Some of the things in this flyer included

Her Lunch Set- I love this little set. The lunchbox is big enough to hold everything you need for lunch, and the colors are so pretty!
Crystalwave Rectangular 6-piece Set- Love these containers! My husband uses them every day and loves them, too! Even though he might not tell you in person! ;)
Universal Series Knives Starter Set- These knives are awesome! They are so lightweight, but so sharp! And they have their own protective covers to prevent cutting yourself or dulling the blades!
The Corkscrew is also on sale. If you are like me and can't open a bottle of wine without cork pieces everywhere, then you need this. I love it so much! It makes opening a bottle of wine so effortless you will look like a pro in front of everyone! It's only $20 right now, so I would get it while you can! If you get it and hate it, I will but it back from you! What do you have to lose??
Those items are all 30-40% off, but the best deal of the flyer this month is 50% off!!! It is the Smart Steamer! This thing is awesome! You can steam healthy meals right in the microwave. I used this so much last year when we spent 6 weeks in our camper so I didn't have to use the stove! You just fill the bottom part with water, and put your food in the middle levels. The main cooking section directs microwaves away from your food to the water underneath, so you are truly getting a steamed meal, not a microwaved one! With the different levels, you can cook two different foods at once, so you will also save time! And- all the pieces stack together nicely for easy storage! This is really a great product to have! Tupperware has come a long way in their 65 years!
 
 
 
If you would like information on how you can order any of the items listed (or something else!) you can email me at tupperwarebykeli@yahoo.com
You can also visit my Facebook page. I occassionally post specials there for my fans!
Next week, I will have one of my favorite recipes for you! It is so easy to make, and would be a great way to end your Valentine's Day!!
See you soon!
