Menu Plan 3/26

Last weeks' weather has me aching for the warmer months when burgers and pasta salad is a weekly occurrence. We did switch some things up to BBQ with some friends, which was WONDERFUL! The kids played and roasted marshmallows.

Today's weather is awful, rainy, gray, and cold. Maybe I should just make some soup and cuddle with Rob until my sunshine returns.

This week we have tons going on, let me rephrase, I have tons to do. Can't wait until Saturday when I plan on sitting on the couch watching Vampire Diaries and drinking coffee

Mon Mar 26			Roasted ratatouille pasta
Tue Mar 27			Ranch beef skillet supper and romaine lettuce
Wed Mar 28			Roast Beef Sandwiches, broccoli and salad
Thu Mar 29			Brick chicken, steamed green beans
Fri Mar 30			Chili
Sat Mar 31			leftovers
Sun Apr 1			Linguine with shrimp and spinach pesto

Meal Plan 3/19

Last week we tried the pumpkin sauce pasta and it was delicious. It was like a pumpkin Alfredo. The turkey enchiladas were also scrumptious. Our favorite new recipe was the Korean dak bokkeum. It was very spicy, but were going in for another Korean meal bibimbap. This also calls for gochujang, which is quite spicy so I'll be adding less to this weeks meal.

Mon Mar 19			Bibimbap
Tue Mar 20			Sausage, pepper, and onion polenta
Wed Mar 21			crispy southwest chicken wraps with broccoli
Thu Mar 22			Italian meatball sliders with spinach and mozzarella salad
Fri Mar 23			Quiche
Sat Mar 24			French toast
			leftovers
Sun Mar 25			man pleasing chicken, rice, and broccoli

Meal Plan 3/12

This week I am trying to clear out my freezer. I have some leftover canned pumpkin from some baking in the late fall I want to get rid of so I'll make a pumpkin sauce. Giada Delaurentiis has an amazing recipe for butternut squash sauce that Rob and I love so I'm hoping that the pumpkin sauce is similar, especially since Rob isn't a fan of pumpkin.

The crock-pot meal is new recipe to our house. I'm eager to try all of Gina's Skinny Recipes, so I'm thinking I'll try one a week. Even if this isn't a Gina original, it looks good. This pork recipe if I like it, will be a good option for a summer solstice party I'm planning on having in June.

Mon Mar 12			Dak bokkeum with chicken and spinach
Tue Mar 13			Pasta with a pumpkin sauce
Wed Mar 14			turkey burgers, fries, and califlower
Thu Mar 15			Turkey enchiladas suizas
Fri Mar 16			corn and chicken chowder
Sat Mar 17			eggs, bacon
			leftovers
Sun Mar 18			crock-pot-kalua-pork served with rice and lettuce wraps

Menu Plan 3/5

Last week's emotional week of comfort food help nourish my body and soul, the retail therapy didn't hurt either. This I'm back to the normal plan. The Salmon Cobb burgers are a favorite of mine. I also like to make guacamole to slather all over the bun. YUM!

The vegetable stuffed cannelloni is a new recipe. The base recipe is good, but I think I'll be making a bunch of changes starting with the noodle. Shells are on sale this week and are easier to stuff so I'll be using them. I also won't be using heavy cream or sherry. I will make a regular bechamel sauce instead to top off the shells.

Mon Mar 5			Salmon Cobb burgers, asparagus, salad
Tue Mar 6			Clams and linquine
Wed Mar 7			Turkey breast, stuffing, green beans
Thu Mar 8			Beefaroni
Fri Mar 9			Pad Thai
Sat Mar 10			Pancakes
			leftovers for dinner
Sun Mar 11			vegetable-stuffed-cannelloni

Meal Plan 2/27

Change is hard for me to handle. It takes me awhile to adjust to a new schedule, if that means shopping on a Tuesday instead of my usual Monday or even a new idea takes me a moment to get use too.

This weekend we experienced some changes that are going to take all of us some time to wrap our heads around. This changed caused my whole weekend to have to adjust and delayed me into doing my normal Saturday night rituals.

This weeks meal plan is chock full of comfort food which is what we need here.

Mon Feb 27			Chicken saltimbocca, baby spinach mixed in some pasta <- this is favorite in our house
Tue Feb 28			Raviolis with broccoli,
Wed Feb 29			Bulgogi, rice, broccoli <- you have to try this, so easy and so delicious
Thu Mar 1			Chicken noodle soup
Fri Mar 2			Lasagna
Sat Mar 3			Ham and cheese omlettes
			leftovers
Sun Mar 4			Spinach and Artichoke Baked Pasta
