My Menu for the Week

I'm writing this here partly to share with you all, and partly because I lost my menu and I want to remember what I have planned so I'll do it :)
Tue: Crock Pot Teriyaki Chicken
Put the chicken (whatever kind you want, I used chicken breasts, but you could use wings or thighs) into the crock pot. In a bowl mix 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 cup water. Pour over chicken and cook on low or high for as long as you need to. I did about 7 hours on low. Half an hour before serving, put some rice on to cook and add some pineapples to the crock pot. I served with broccoli and green salad. I was still hungry afterward, but it was delicious! Oh, and I also tried to add some cornstarch when I added the pineapples to thicken the sauce but it didn't work. I think I should have transferred it to another pan and warmed it more but I didn't want to do all that.
Wed: Taco soup and twice baked potatoes
Thur: Hawaiian Haystacks (using the leftover pineapples I saved from Tue)
Fri: Leftovers (and get a roast out to thaw for Sun.)
Sat: Homemade pizza (and make extra dough for rolls tomorrow)
Sun: Roast and mashed potatoes and gravy and rolls
Mon: Chimichanga's using leftover roast

Let me know if you'r interested in any other recipes, and I would love to see your menu's too!

Looks yummy! It helps to have menus, doesn't it? I need to get mine together, and go shopping so I'll have the ingredients!
