This week I am hosting Menu Plan Monday and am thrilled to do so. I have chosen squash as the ingredient of the week.
Squash (aside from yellow, zucchini squash) is relatively new in my menu plan. I had just never really tried it before. Last fall I made some salmon and decided to makes some butternut squash along with it and I was quickly in love. I have now branched out to Spaghetti Squash, one of my new favs.
We have a very busy week this week. Last night I had planned on making homemade pizza, but was unable to do so, so we went out instead. I am planning on moving that now until Friday.
Monday ~ Salmon with Agave & Lime, acorn squash & salad
Tuesday ~ Mexican Pizzas, Mexican Rice and organic black refried beans
Wednesday ~ Hockey/Ice Skating night; Cheeseburger in Paradise
Thursday ~ Apricot Glazed Pork Loin (recipe to follow), butternut squash, salad & chebe rolls
Friday ~ BBQ chicken breasts, sweet potato fries, steamed broccoli, salad
Saturday ~ Homemade pizza, salad & steamed veggies
Baked Goods
Snickerdoodles
Bagels

Check out Cheryl at Gluten-Free Goodness. She has a wonderful menu planned this week. I am especially interested in her quinoa italiana. I may give that a try! Her vegan brownies from last week look scrumptious! The pumpkin cornbread has also caught my eye. I hope you share a recipe for that, Cheryl, I am a sucker for anything pumpkin. 🙂
Karen at Gluten Free Sox Fan has a great menu planned for the week. The chicken pot pie sounds wonderful! She is also looking for ideas about what to take to a Halloween party, so if you have some ideas, make sure to share. 🙂
Ginger from Fresh Ginger has a yummy menu planned. I may just move in with her for the week. 😉 The Turkey tenderloins stuffed with spinach have caught me eye. I love spinach!
Brenda at Book of Yum has an amazing looking menu this week.
The pumpkin & black bean casserole has me drooling, as do some of her breakfast choices.
Manda at Aspargus Thin is loving the ingredient of the week. Squash is one of her favorites. Her Teriyaki Salmon with simmered squash sounds very good. I would also like to hear more about the pumpkin chip muffins, as I love any and all things pumpkin. 🙂
Kimberly at Living Free hasn’t been feeling well. I hope you feel better soon!! She is planning on cooking a pumpkin this week and using it for something. I can’t wait to see what she does with it.

Kim – I tracked you down, and here is my menu for the week! Still nothing too creative because I’m working too many hours and not planning ahead well enough, but at least we are eating.
