This week I am hosting Menu Plan Monday<\/a> and am thrilled to do so. I have chosen squash<\/strong> as the ingredient of the week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, one of my new favs.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Monday ~ Salmon with Agave & Lime<\/a>, acorn squash & salad<\/p>\n

Tuesday ~ Mexican Pizzas, Mexican Rice and organic black refried beans<\/p>\n

Wednesday ~ Hockey\/Ice Skating night; Cheeseburger in Paradise<\/p>\n

Thursday ~ Apricot Glazed Pork Loin (recipe to follow), butternut squash, salad & chebe rolls<\/p>\n

Friday ~ BBQ chicken breasts, sweet potato fries, steamed broccoli, salad<\/p>\n

Saturday ~ Homemade pizza, salad & steamed veggies<\/p>\n

Baked Goods<\/strong>
\nSnickerdoodles
\nBagels<\/p>\n

Check out Cheryl at Gluten-Free Goodness<\/a>. 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. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Karen at Gluten Free Sox Fan<\/a> 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. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Ginger from Fresh Ginger <\/a> has a yummy menu planned. I may just move in with her for the week. \ud83d\ude09 The Turkey tenderloins stuffed with spinach have caught me eye. I love spinach!<\/p>\n

Brenda at Book of Yum<\/a> has an amazing looking menu this week.
\nThe pumpkin & black bean casserole has me drooling, as do some of her breakfast choices.<\/p>\n

Manda at Aspargus Thin<\/a> 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. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Kimberly at Living Free<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n
