ON THE MENU MONDAY~ WEEK OF DEC 31, 2012




A new year... a time to start fresh... a time to learn and try new things...

Menu planning came out of a New Year's resolutions years and years ago! It has made my life sooooo much easier!

I'll be sharing a few New Year's resolutions on Tuesday... but now...

Here's what's ON THE MENU...



NEW YEAR'S EVE
Broccoli Rabe 

NEW YEAR'S DAY 2013
Mashed Potatoes
Oven Roasted Sauerkraut
King's Cake


WEDNESDAY
Grilled Italian Sausage, Onions and Peppers


THRUSDAY~ SLOW COOKER DAY
Roasted Carrots


FRIDAY
Parsley Buttered Noodle Nests


SATURDAY



SUNDAY
Kale Chips


Here are some yummy features from last week's ON THE MENU MONDAY...


The the mention of crab makes my tastebuds go crazy!!! Mary at HOME IS WHERE THE BOAT IS shared her PARMESAN CRUSTED CRABCAKE BITES. These are a must-try at StoneGable!

These yummy ESPRESSO GLAZED NUTS are from Tieghan at Half Baked Harvest. These looks scrumptious!!!

This dish looks scrumptious and it's gluten free!!!  ROASTED VEGETABLES OVER PASTA comes from Judee at GLUTEN FREE A-Z. Gluten free pasta makes this dish filling and will fool any picky eater!








Okay, this has to be the ultimate copycat recipe!!! PEANUT BUTTER BARS that taste like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! Oh my thighs! I could eat the whole pan of these! We can all thank Paula from SWEET PEA!


Peanut Butter Bars that Taste like a Reese's Cup by Sweet Pea




Amanda, from THE TASTE TESTER shared a hearty SLOW COOKER SPAGHETTI SAUCE. Slow cookers work magic with sauce recipes. You know I'll be making this... and freezing it! Thanks, Amanda!

Have you heard of the WAFFLENINI... well, you have now. This is such a fabulously clever idea from DEAR EMMELINE. I just got a Belgium Waffle Maker for Christmas... you bet I'm making this... it just may catch on!!!







Nici at POSED PERFECTION shared her beautiful ORANGE CRANBERRY NUT BREAD. I have a special fondness to sweet breads... they are so perfect with coffee or tea... especially on a cold morning! I can almost smell it's goodness!

    Yvonne,
    Thank you, dear friend, for continuing to host On The Menu Monday again in 2013!!!
    I do have a request. . .during the Winter months in our area of the Midwest, the lettuce does not keep well at all! About one time on the Menu, then it's the disposal for sure!!! I'm on the "look ~ out" for salads using other green vegetables with a longer shelf life. Any helpful solutions would be greatly appreciated!!!
    A Happy New Year, health & prosperity to you in 2013!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat
