Monday’s Menu

Well, if we’ve all recovered from Brian’s guest post, it’s time for the boring menu post again. I had fun reading his post and I saw in the comments and on Facebook that many of you did, too, so I’m sure he’ll be back.

Just be careful what you wish for.

As far as our menu, this is one of those weeks that I’m trying to stretch our food dollars into the next month, so we’re really eating from the pantry. Problem is, there’s not tons in the pantry. But enough, it turns out, especially combined with the asparagus, lettuce and spinach coming from the garden.

And I don’t mean to be harping continually on the weather, so I’ll just say we’re still eating soups around here and it’s just fine. *uh-hem.*

No problems baking bread, either- still feels good to have a bit more warmth. Oh, and speaking of bread, I’ve had some more sourdough successes- including a super easy cheese batter bread that my family wants me to make a lot more often.

As in daily.

Of course I’ll share. *smile*

Monday- BBQ chicken (which will probably be baked, but I’m NOT complaining about the weather…), slaw with carrots and vinaigrette, slow cooker baked beans, veggie tray

Tuesday- Chicken-Rice curry soup (I’ll be making this up using leftover chicken- wish me luck!), artisan or sourdough bread (depending on what get’s made today), asparagus bundles, salad

Wednesday- Cheese manicotti with Roasted Tomato Sauce, salad

Thursday- Parmesan Topped Baked Fish (held over from last week…), orzo & asparagus w/feta, salad

Friday- Haystacks (beans over tortilla chips topped with lettuce, cheese, onions, & homemade salsa)

Saturday- Homemade pepperoni pizza

Sunday- leftovers or pasta
