Menu Plan Monday #45 and some news!
Menu Plan Monday is here with easy family-favorite recipes, simple dinner ideas, and some exciting news I’ve been waiting to share!
Hey guys! I have some exciting news to share, a long with this weeks menu. 🙂 As many of you know, the last 7 years I have worked as a surgery scheduler for Ear, Nose and Throat Doctors. It has been an amazing job and I have learned so much. The Doctors I work for are the greatest and have been the most supportive bosses.
Over the last 6 months, I’ve been debating whether or not to quit my job. It’s been a reliable source of income and it’s been so great. The problem is, it’s full time and I don’t have the time to dedicate recipes and follow through on things with my blog.
Last week, an incident at work made me realize it’s time to leave, so I gave my bosses my 3 week notice. So, as of March 11th 2014 I will be a full time blogger!
I am beyond excited to be able to stay home and blog full time. I will be posting recipes more consistently and every Monday will have a menu plan. No more sporadic posts for me. I also have some more things in the works I am SUPER excited to tell you about. It should be soon!
A long with blogging full time soon, I’m most excited to be home more with my kids. That part of all this is the most important to me ♥ I’m so excited for this new chapter in my life!
Okay, let’s get this menu started! Here’s what I’ll be making this week:
Monday
BBQ Chicken & Bacon Pizza
Tuesday
Chef Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing
Wednesday
Homemade Fried Rice
with diced Ham & Pineapple
Thursday
In n’ Out Cheeseburgers
Friday
Chicken Bow Tie Pasta Salad
