I haven't done this meme in forever, and I actually have a stocked fridge right now! Plus, this week Laura is having a giveaway of an N’ Stitches Designs envelope system wallet -- and it's so cute!
So, here's my plan (subject to change if I spend too long in the garden or hanging out with friends!)...
To Bake:
Monday - Granola
Tuesday - pizza dough
Wednesday - cornbread
Thursday - sandwich bread
Friday - dessert for potluck
Breakfast:
Granola, Honey Nut O's, oatmeal, eggs and toast...
Sunday - waffles and bacon
LUNCH:
Monday - sandwiches
Tuesday - Spring rolls and fried rice (Chinese New Year party!)
Wednesday - leftover black bean soup
Thursday - Quesadillas
Friday - Sandwiches
Saturday - Frittata w/swiss chard
Sunday - Burritos (use taco leftovers)
DINNERS:
Monday -- Citrus and garlic roasted chicken and root vegetables, with sauteed kale
Tuesday -- BBQ chicken pizza (using leftover chicken), salad
Wednesday -- Black bean soup (use homemade salsa from my December tomatoes), cornbread, and salad (make stock from Monday's chicken)
Thursday -- Salmon, mashed potatoes, and broccoli
Friday -- Vegan night at the Purple Flowers'
Saturday -- Organic ground beef Tacos
Sunday -- Lentil soup (use stock made Wednesday)
What are you cooking this week?
Can I come for dinner on Thursday? Dad's working Thursday night and I can bring some extra salmon. It's great to know what's cooking at your house. Mom
ReplyDeleteI SO need to get organized and start meal planning. I know it would save money (and time) and with kids in sports it would be great to come home to something warm in the crock pot. You've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteI have been baking bread every night (yeah for me) but I would LOVE if you would share your pizza crust recipe....mine stinks :)
Did you make the Monday Menu button? May I use it?
ReplyDeleteI love this idea of a regular Monday post.
We keep breakfasts pretty simple - toast with PB and home-made jelly, oatmeal or granola.
Lunches consist of leftover suppers OR PB sandwiches, home-made chicken noodle soup or a frozen container of chili or beans.
Suppers are planned. I am a "cook once eat twice" gal. Tonight, for example, we'll eat left-over Chili Verde soup that I made yesterday for after church and made WAY too much. I see you do this, too, using ingredients to make other meals.
What I don't do, which I like how you laid it out, is to say which day you are cooking/baking what. I think that would help me.
THANKS!
I love Menu Plan Monday! Mmmm.
ReplyDeleteSounds very yummy!
ReplyDeleteMaureen -- I'll post my pizza dough recipe later this week!
ReplyDeleteJoy -- thank you so much for sharing! The Monday Menu button belongs to Laura at OrganizingJunkie.com. She hosts the Monday Menu Plan meme.
That address doesn't work. :( I'll keep trying to find her! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHere's my pizza dough recipe that I get lots of compliments on:
