Weekly Menu Plan {Dan Dan Noodles Recipe}

It’s the return of the Dine & Dish weekly menu plan for the week of November 3th – 9th and a PF Chang’s Copycat Dan Dan Noodles recipe.

My goal with the NaBloPoMo challenge is to get back to posting some of the regular type content that I used to post, but for various reasons (like my lack of consistency…sorry!) I stopped posting. I love menu planning and the edge on the week it seems to give me. I know most of you loved it when I would share what our family was eating each week and hopefully it gave you ideas as well for what to feed your family.

When I menu plan, I would say 75% of the recipes we try are new from either magazines or other blogs I enjoy. The other 25% are just tried and true, family favorites that are in our regular rotation. There are also, like this Dan Dan Noodles Recipe that I needed to photograph for a client and we ended up loving!

If you menu plan, or have tried and true favorites you have each week, I’d love for you to share your ideas in the comments below! If you have a recipe on your blog you think our family should try, definitely leave a link in the comment section. Who knows? Maybe your recipe will show up in a future menu plan post! …

Quick and Delicious Chicken Stir-Fry Recipe

Have you ever taken a picture and then not realized until after wards that there was a detail totally off? I’ve taken pictures of my kids only to discover after I download them that there is a chocolate smudge on their face or stray hair in their eyes or a fly unzipped.

That is exactly what happened with the pictures of this Chicken Stir-Fry. I took the pictures, we ate dinner and when I downloaded from the camera onto the computer I noticed that big, glaring, piece of onion right in the middle of the plate. I can’t even begin to tell you how much that big hunk of onion gets on my nerves. So much that I almost didn’t post this recipe, but you know what? This is such a tasty and easy stir-fry recipe I just had to share it with you.

Excuse me if I never return to this post again… it is like forcing myself to listen to fingernails on a chalkboard. I do hope you can get past the hunk of onion and look at this recipe for what it is… a must have stir-fry recipe for a quick and simple weeknight dinner! Enjoy.
