Menu Plan for the Week

We enjoyed a nice weekend of being snowed in together.  We actually did get out of the house Saturday and Sunday.  I rented Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Friday afternoon for us to watch as we waited for the snow to begin Friday night.  Just the title of that movie prompted Natalie to ask for Spaghetti and Meatballs everytime I went to fix us a meal (even for breakfast).  We had to go out Saturday to return the movie which led to us renting another movie (A Bee Movie) that we had to return on Sunday.  We did stay on track and even though we went out both days we still ate and prepared all of our meals at home over the weekend.  I had a chance Sunday night while we were finishing up our Spaghetti and Meatballs to plan out our menu for the week.  I even went as far as planning out breakfast and lunch for myself and the girls.  I have already had to do some rearranging because my chicken didn't defrost in time so I switched Tuesday and Wednesday night.

Anyone have a recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup?  I have a whole chicken defrosting in my refrigerator that I plan on baking then pulling the meat off to make the soup and save the rest of the chicken to make chicken broth.  I have read a few recipes, but I haven't decided on one and will gladly accept any tips.
