Menu Plan Monday - Oct. 14

Notes from last week's menu: My attempt at making Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad was actually pretty good and I'll be making it again sometime! I definitely simplified the recipe though and bought Perdue breaded chicken, bagged salad, and chow mein noodles, so all I really had to make was the dressing. It was a nice switch from just a regular salad and made for a delicious meal! I'd recommend it! I also recommend the Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie. I mean, what's there NOT to like about a combination like that, and it was specifically suggested for pregnant women which makes it even better!

Lots of new recipes for this week too...

Monday - soccer- Pulled Pork Sandwiches, green beans, peaches
Tuesday - bierochs (recipe below), oranges

Dessert of the week: Blackberry Cheese Pie (my husband's favorite pie, he's been begging for it for weeks!)
