Menu 4/14

I'm getting a late start on the Menu this week. My brain just won't think. I was having a hard time this week for some reason! I am going out of town this weekend with some girlfriends, but I will be posting some recipes. One that I'm really excited about is the Creamy Peanut Butter Dip! And the Blueberry Baked French Toast is going to be pretty awesome. There are some great deals this week at Publix. Be sure to check out the match-ups at IHeartPublix. I'm going to get my shopping list together and probably go Thursday. I left Thursday open because I was trying to find a Pad Thai recipe that was slightly pantry-friendly. No crazy ingredients in this house! I've got packing and cooking to do for the trip, so I may get that done Thursday evening. I don't think my husband would mind eating cereal! Here's what I was thinking for this week...

Maple Pecan Chicken with Mashed Sweet Potatoes- Wed 4/14
Raisin Bran Muffins- Thurs 4/15
Creamy Peanut Butter Dip- Sat 4/17
Classic Pasta Salad- Sat 4/17 (old recipe for trip)
The Best Blueberry Muffins- Sat 4/17 (old recipe for trip)
Blueberry Baked French Toast- Sun 4/18
Oatmeal Crusted Tilapia- Mon 4/19
Pork Tenderloin with Onion Marmalade- Tues 4/20

**I was not able to complete this week's Menu. See Post Here.

Here is the ingredient break-down. The (*) represents a sale item at Publix. I have also included a link to some printable coupons! Be sure to check out IHeartPublix for all coupon match-ups or CouponsMakeCents for a coupon database resource!

And don't forget to take your $5/$25 coupon if you're shopping Publix. This coupon is great because it covers your tax for the trip! There is a one available on RedPlum. Try using zip code 95677 if you don't see it and change your radius to 50 miles.
