Toodles
A bit of silliness to get the week off to a good start
Oh yeah and a menu plan for Monday! I usually do this every week; I’ve just been forgetting to post them:
Mon- Tri-color Tortellonis
Tues- Fish
Wed- Hot Dogs on ze grill
Thu- Shepherd’s pie a la Cracker
Fri- Beef Stew
Sat- Chicken Cacciatore Stoup ( A Rachel Ray recipe)
Sun- Leftover or cheap eats out
If anyone is interested in the “Shepherd’s pie a la Cracker” recipe, leave a comment and I’ll either email it to you or post it here. It’s a much quicker weeknight version of Shepherd’s Pie, adapted from my memory of my Dad’s dish and quite a favorite with my kids.
Menu Plan Monday and ze gardening begins!
What a GORGEOUS weekend! I got out into the garden and planted peas, beets, lettuce, parsley and carrots. I haven’t tried carrots in years because our soil is so heavy (and then there was the potting soil experiment – YUCK!), but the soil was so good in one section of the bed where I was planting I decided to try it again with some fairly short carrots.
The garlic that we planted on the very last day of 2008 is coming up finally. Studmuffin has been rather worried about it – it’s rather funny to me. And everyone is pretty much over their colds…and I did not get it!
Here’s the menu fer this week:
Mon – homemade pizza
Tues – Chicken of some kind
Wed – Spaghetti & Meatballs
Thurs – Breakfast for dinnenr
Fri – Chicken with spinach (I haven’t a recipe for that yet either)
Sat – Burgers
Sun – Shepherd’s Pie
Having a menu plan has been very good for us – I just have to remember what I need to take out of the freezer ahead of time…….
Meal Plan Monday – 12/22/08
We didn’t end up eating everything on last week’s menu – things are always changing so fast ’round here! So here’s the attempt for this week:
Monday- Tacos
Tuesday-Garlic Lime Chicken, rice pilaf
Wednesday- Catch as catch can (aka fridge cleanout; there will pasta involved I’m sure)
Thursday – Christmas Dinner – Ham, mashed potatoes, weird green jello dish, green bean casserole, mac’n'cheese, applesauce, cranberry sauce, rolls
Friday – left overs
Saturday – split pea soup
Sunday – shepherd’s pie (this is not the *real* shepherd’s pie – this is the *el cheapo “I got nothin’” white trash version* made with ketchup)
