Menu Plan Mondays are a list of homemade meal ideas. These delicious dinners are approved by both kids and parents!

Menu Plan Monday is a list of family-friendly meals that are great for busy weeknights.

The saying, “April showers bring May flowers.” rings true here in Southern Utah. I love the rain, and we welcome it any chance we can get it. Though there are still more sunny days than not this time of year it tends to drizzle every now and then. For this week’s Menu Plan Monday I want to make sure you have a set of recipes ready to go when that spring rain starts to fall.

Nothing says rainy day food like smelling something delicious cooking in the crock pot. My Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Chicken is just the thing to warm you up on an overcast day. Served in tortillas or over a bed of rice this meal will hit the spot. My Chicken Noodle Casserole is another perfect way to feel the warm love from the kitchen when it may look a little gloomy out your window.

On days where you might have to keep the kids inside to play I’ve got just the perfect snack for you all. My Cake Pop Protein Bites will make everybody happy! You’ll be glad to know that these protein bites will give your kids sustained energy, and they’ll be happy to have an afternoon snack that involves cake!

Have a great week everyone, and cheers to the spring season! From my kitchen to yours. –Holly xo
