Menu Plan Monday: Back from Vacation Posted: 22 Apr 2012 07:21 PM PDT I was quite pleased with the success of last week’s Vacation Menu Plan. Everything worked out very well, and we had plenty of food. We did make a last-minute change, because once we were there, my DH was stricken with a strong desire to grill hot dogs and roast marshmallows. SO not healthy, but he’s a pretty awesome hubby, so I like to make him happy when I can. Every once in a while, you know. So instead of ham & pasta casserole, we had hot dogs! The good thing is that the casserole is still frozen, so now I have a super easy dinner ready for tomorrow evening! But I have to confess… I was a total ditz last week and completely forgot to share with you all the amazing ideas my readers shared for vacation meal planning! I asked on Facebook  for some inspiration, and you totally delivered. For those of you who missed the discussion, here are some of the ideas for easy vacation meals: meats frozen in marinade slow cooker meals frozen in slow cooker liners (don’t forget the slow cooker!) slow cooker meals, even if they’re not prepped and frozen make-ahead breakfasts: burritos, egg-sausage muffins spaghetti bagels, eggs, fruit for breakfasts frozen grilled chicken strips to use in sandwiches or salads tacos So now onto this week’s menu.
