Menu Plan Monday: May 24 “Tastes Like Chicken”
23May2010 Filed under: Menu Plan Monday Author: twobarefeet
I can’t believe Memorial Day weekend is almost here. As hectic as Spring has been, it just flew! Grill season approaches (but i’ve snuck out a few times to get my expertise tuned up)…I love summer foods so I can’t wait!
This week, we are anticipating a big house repair on June 1 so I am trying to cook out of my freezer to help offset the cost. I’m using up a whole tray of boneless chicken breasts this week, trying to get creative with my chicken usage! Some of these are new (Mon, Tues) and some are old and classic (Wed). I’m even breaking up the week with an almost meatless dish on Saturday that looks yummy! So even though it’s a chicken-y week, I think it will be a tasty one. 
24. Monday – Chicken Milanese
25. Tuesday - pretzel crusted chicken breasts with a cheddar mustard sauce
26. Wednesday – FFY buffet, I am working this night
27. Thursday - arugula salads with grilled chicken, cranberries, goat cheese and pecans
28. Friday - we are at a wedding!
29. Saturday – corn cakes with goat cheese and crispy ham (from Everyday Food)
30. Sunday – pizza night – roasted chicken with garlic and caramelized onions

About this blog
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.
