I love to menu plan! It really helps put delicious homemade meals on my kitchen table each night. It also helps me prep what I can in the morning when I’m at my best and puttering around the house. Here’s a menu plan I think you will love…

My least productive time is around 4:30 in the afternoon, just when I should be starting dinner. If I don’t have a plan I fall back on my default… take-out! A menu plan is just that… a plan. Things change, stuff happens so I don’t get crazy trying to always stick to it!
Some days I just don’t want to cook. On those days I don’t sweat it and order in Chinese Cashew Chicken or other take-out that is WW friendly. But more often than not, if I ‘ve planned and then at least done a couple things for dinner earlier in the day dinner is easy! And I’m so glad I made it!
MONDAY
If you make one thing this week please make the Grilled Balsamic Flank Steak (and maybe the Strawberry Dole Whip)! It’s a fabulous steak, but it is the marinade that is HEAVENLY! This is my go-to marinade for beef and chicken and vegetables. Trust me and MAKE THE MARINADE!!!!

SATURDAY
Oh, we love quesadillas! And these are packed with flavor. Just a little warning, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce is HOT! So if you are not in love with spicy go easy on the chipotle and substitute salsa instead! Thanks, Glitter And Grace! LOVE your sass!
SUNDAY- FATHER’S DAY
We LOVE LOVE LOVE ribeye steak! It is packed with beefy flavor! And I’ve made this Munchkin Time recipe a few time and it is AMAZING! I’ll follow the recipe but put it on the grill.
Okay, this is no where close to WW friendly! So I’ll eat about 4 oz of the steak and have a big salad. But the rest of my family can eat what they want!
- PERFECT RIBEYE STEAK ON THE GRILL
- AUNT SUE’S SCRUMPTIOUS MACARONI AND CHEESE
- ARUGULA SALAD WITH SAVED PARMESAN, PINENUTS IN A LEMON VINAIGRETTE
- STRAWBERRY TART

TREAT OF THE WEEK
Dole Whip is a famous sweet treat in Disney World! My sister made a WW friendly Dole Whip recently and it was beyond delicious! Since it is strawberry time here in Lancaster I’m whipping up a whole bunch of this sorbet like dessert!
Thanks, Dashing Dish for this scrumptious recipe!

Have a scrumptious week!
Hello Tuesday! I used to make chicken cacciatore but haven’t thought about making it in a while. So good, and your photo looks DEE-licious! Thanks for the good ideas and the inspiration to get organized!
Hi Leslie! You are so welcomed! My hubby loves chicken cacciatore so it’s on the menu every now and again.
Thanks for the great week of menu ideas. Several recipes are on my menu this week.
I love deedeedoes.com her delicious and healthy meal choices are awesome!
Yvonne, thank you so much for featuring my Weight Watchers Freestyle meals for Friday! I hope you enjoy everything 🙂 Also, so glad I found your stunning blog – I’ve bookmarked to come back to later on. Thanks again!
The strawberry Dole whip sounds intriguing!
It is so delicious!
Every single one looks delicious! I am really looking forward to trying the fish recipe. I have more problems trying to find good ways to prepare fish than any other. My husband would eat fish of some kind every day but I get in such a rut either frying (which I try to stay from) or a quick saute so this recipe will be a welcome change. These are all “tryers” for me because we would both like them all. He is not quite as adventurious as I am when it comes to new recipes. Thanks for all your hard work!!
I really enjoy this blog feature each week; it’s like having our very own Stonegable cookbook.
Everything looks delicious.
So glad you are doing your menus for the week again, Yvonne!

Everything looks delicious! I haven’t made zucchini boats since I was first married 45+ years ago. The recipe I had called them “zuccanoes”. I should try them again. Thank you for your posts.
You always share the best recipes!!!
These look sooooo good! Thanks Yvonne! Can’t wait to try, especially the Chicken Cacciatore!
they certainly are some yummy recipes!
Every one of those recipes sounds so good! I love how you said your photos for the soup post are so bad and yet someone had commented when you first posted it back in ’09 that your photos were great! You photograph like a professional these days – everything looks like it’s out of a magazine 🙂
New to your blog, love these recipes!
Welcome to the StoneGable family, Marilyn!
Can’t wait to try the fish recipe with barramundi fillets this week!
Always,always looks so yummy!
This all looks good. Yum !
Thanks for the delicious recipes. Everything looks great.
You nailed it with this week’s menus!
Yummy is all that needs to be said. Making up my shopping list now and cant wait to try all. Love your meal plans. Thanks
More delicious recipes to try! Thanks!
Really amazing looking food, I am making those zucchini boats. And that fish in lemon sauce yum
Thanks, Pat
Love your menus each week! I can’t wait to try the soup and fish dishes.
This menu plan is right down my alley, everything looks AMAZING!! Crusty bread will pair nicely with a couple of these scrumptious dishes. Not to mention the Berry Crisp sends it over the top.
Everything looks so delicious!
More yummy recipes.I just made chicken cacciatore this past week.
