| See? They came! And we took them out for some Korean food (YUM-O!) |
At some point during the weekend, my mom mentioned that I should email her my weekly menu plans to give her ideas and hold her accountable on menu planning (not that I ever lecture my mom on the importance of making and sticking to a meal plan).
And since I have not blogged in a long time, I thought you might want to read what we will be eating this coming week. I grocery shop on Wednesdays (hence I start there with my meal plan).
- Wednesday: Pizza, Salad, and Bread sticks (The amazing hubs is going to whip out the pizza, the bread sticks are coming from the freezer section). We are having guests and I thought we needed something extra...like bread stick.
- Thursday: Meatloaf, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and Green Beans
- Friday: Thai Chicken Pasta
- Saturday: Crockpot Chili (I will only use half a pound of beef in this recipe)
- Sunday: Cheesy Beef and Rice Casserole, (and the other half pound of beef in this recipe) and Broccoli & Cauliflower
- Monday: French Toast
- Tuesday: Leftovers/Clean out the Fridge
PB and J, Egg Sandwich, Pancakes, Grilled Cheese, Quesadilla, PB crackers...
Be inspired! Go forth and menu plan!
Yummy! Can I come for dinner?
ReplyDeleteI am inspired!! And also jealous. Can you post this every week? I can either mimic your menu or just find a way to get over there and join you for dinner!
ReplyDeleteKerry and Bethany Rose - you are both more than welcome to come over for dinner ANY TIME you want!
ReplyDeleteI would love to come over!! We'll have to brainstorm how to make it happen. :) I did get in a cooking "mode" this past week, partly due to parents/grandparents visiting over the weekend. Thought I'd share some of the menus I came up with, and if you want a recipe, let me know! They were all successful, so I guess it's a win!
ReplyDeleteFriday night:
-Roasted duck, orange glazed carrots, duck fat roasted potatoes with garlic and parsley, corn bread, apple crisp from scratch (40 min including baking on the crisp--so easy & good!)
Saturday:
-Pumpkin muffins, fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, coffee/juice/milk
-(Confession: didn't cook all the meals. they were visiting, I couldn't help but take them to a couple of my favorite places out!!) Roasted chicken/portabella/mozzarella/arugula sandwiches on ciabatta, roasted mushroom soup or fire roasted tomato basil soup, truffle french fries
-Pierogi Pizza (the best pizza in Greensburg: Zach and I may fly back out here someday when we actually have incomes, just because it's so good!!), as well as mixed greens salad/olives/tomatoes/onions/blue cheese homemade dressing
Sunday:
-Brunch: eggs benedict w/ portabella mushroom instead of ham, egg skillet w/ potatoes/cheese/ham/onions/peppers, oat pancakes w/ blueberry compote, etc.
-Taco soup (mom's recipe--so good!) w/ tortilla chips/cheese/sour cream/salsa/tomatoes/avocados/etc. Moose tracks ice cream for dessert :)
Monday:
-Breakfast casserole (mom's recipe also--make the night before, pop it in oven an hour before mealtime: easy and always a success!) w/ sausage, egg, cheese/hashbrowns/green onions/ mushrooms; also toast, fruit, yogurt.
