Menu Plan for June 13 - June 18
I am going to try to revitalize this blog with a new title. I really like to make lists: lists of things I have to do, grocery lists, menu for the week, lists of crochet and knitting projects I am currently working on, etc. Today I am going to write about my next menu plan for the week. I am going to the grocery either today or tomorrow so My menu starts today, Thursday, and ends next Tuesday.
Thursday Applesauce Chicken, peas and carrots, apple-celery salad
Friday Jambalaya (from a Zataran's mix)with smoked sausage, asparagus, one more vegetable
Saturday meatloaf, some kind of pasta side dish, vegetable
Sunday we don't cook on Sunday
Monday pork roast, white squash, one more vegetable
Tuesday Beef and broccoli stir fry, brown rice, one more vegetable
We don't cook on Wednesday either. It's leftover night. I don't have the side dishes all planned but I try to limit pasta to once a week. The asparagus will be fresh (it is on sale right now) and the white squash will be fresh (it comes right out of the back yard.) Probably twice a week the fresh vegetable will be a salad of lettuce mixed with baby spinach, tomatoes (out of the garden), cucumbers, and anything else I feel like adding to it like a little bit of fresh fruit or dried fruit.
On the day I do the meatloaf I will make an extra one and put it in the freezer so when I am in Alaska for 2 weeks mom will just have to defrost it and put it in the crock pot. I already have a beef stew mixed and in the freezer for the crock pot. Each week until I leave I will try to prepare one freezer meal so it will be easier for her during those 2 weeks.
