One of my main duties as a home maker is the making and serving of nutritious, delicious meals to nourish my family. However, I don't particularly like cooking and am not very good at it. In an effort to make nutritious home cooked meals every day I have decided to try to make a menu plan every week to simplify the task. Org junkie hosts menu plan monday everyweek and hundreds of bloggers post their menu plans there. I have tried menu planning in the past but never really kept it up. Hopefully by posting my menu here I will stick to it and continue to make a plan every week.
Monday: home made bread, tomato soup, devilled eggs, and raw veggies
I am running low on bread so I will mix up a batch today and we will have a loaf with supper. The tomato soup is in the freezer leftover from last week when I made a big pot of tomato soup. We will round out the meal with devilled eggs (which my oldest loves) and raw veggies.
Tuesday: ham, mashed potatoes, and corn
I will cook up a large ham to use this week and make extra mashed potatoes to use in potato rolls.
Wednesday: Heavenly Ham Casserole
I will make this casserole with the leftover ham, potatoes, carrots, onions and cream of mushroom soup. I will try to put it in the slow cooker in the morning to give me more time with the girls after school. I may try to make some cookies or a dessert with them.
Thursday: Cheddar-Ham Oven Omelet, Fruit Salad, Potatoe Rolls
I will make 1/2 of the omelet recipe with leftover ham if there is still some left. Otherwise it will just be with cheese. I will make the potatoe rolls with left over mashed potates from tuesday.
Friday: Beef Stroganoff with Egg noodles, frozen veggies
I will make beef stroganoff in the slow cooker, serve over egg noodles, and add some frozen veggies on the side.
Saturday: Leftovers
We will use up any leftovers or have a simple meal of sandwiches or pancakes.
Sunday: Spaghetti and tomato meat sauce.
There that's it. I will let you know next week how it went. For great menu ideas head over to the org junkie for menu plan monday.

Sounds like a great menu! I don't consider myself a very good cook, either, but have really enjoyed the "learning process" during my last two years of staying home with the kids. I love menu planning and it makes life so much easier and cooking a much more pleasant activity!
