Cassie's Meal Plan- Week 1

I'm so SO excited to start this because I am usually very last second (whatever I can throw together) or crockpot dinner girl so this will force me to plan ahead and not make the same things over and over again!! :)
I also love all the ideas you guys are sharing! I especially love the monthly menu idea and I love what Lauretta said about each day a different meat group. Just typing this week's menu I realized we are doing a lot with Chicken! OOPS! Next week I'll plan better and try and do different meats!

Monday- Chicken French Bread Bake, cottage cheese, chips
Tuesday- Poppyseed Chicken over rice, green salad, parmesan rolls
Wednesday- Taco Chicken Bowls(everything goes in crockpot), dish on tortilla topped with toppings if desired (tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, dressing etc.)
Thursday- Leftovers (we always have leftovers and have to leave at least one night to eat those)
Friday- Ziti Casserole, corn and mandarin jello
Saturday- Chicken Cordon Bleu, garlic toast, baked potatoes
Sunday- Flammer family dinner

Easy and Yummy Recipe for this week.

Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole
Ingredients:
2 cups chicken, cooked and diced
2 cups Ritz crackers, crushed
1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
1 (10.75 oz) can cream of chicken soup (I used 98% fat-free)
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together chicken, soup and sour cream in a large bowl. Add in Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and lemon juice, if desired. In another bowl, mix together crushed crackers, poppy seeds, and melted butter and stir until butter is completely incorporated.
Spray a 9x13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread chicken mixture on the bottom and top with cracker mixture.
Cover pan with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 more minutes. Serve over rice.

Side note: I also never use the Worcestershire but always put the garlic and lemon juice in.
