I'm only going to do "our" menu plan Monday - Friday! Our weekends are just crazy busy working on the lake house for me to plan out our Saturday and Sunday!

This is my 2nd entry! I'm having so much FUN! I like the way it holds me accountable to COOK these meals!!! =) It feels so good to plan things out!!!! Even though I've been sick this week and haven't ate very much, I have managed to keep our menu on track!

Recipe Time:

Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti
Serves 12 ( one cup each) - This makes a lot!!!

16 oz. dry spaghetti, cooked and drained (Next time I will use 1/2 - 3/4 of the dry spaghetti)
1 lb. Velveeta Light (2%) Cheese
12.5 oz can chicken breast, drained & flaked (I added extra chicken)
1 can 98% FF cream of mushroom soup
1 can 98% FF cream of chicken soup
10 oz. can diced tomatoes & green chilies (Rotel)
4 oz can mushroom stems & pieces, drained
1/2 cup water
1 small onion, diced
1 med. green pepper diced (I did not add...I added some fresh chopped cilantro for a Mexican flare)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a large pot, stir to mix well, cook on medium heat till heated thoroughly!

Homemade Salsa
2 Cans of diced tomatoes (Rotel)
Fresh Cilantro
Chopped Onion
Salt - To Taste

Toss all ingredients in a blender or a food processor and mix until it looks like salsa! I've seen other variations that add jalapenos, fresh garlic, roasted bell pepper! Make it your own! I did!
