Menu Plan Monday: May 14
I'm trying to get back to normal this week. We have a good menu plan in place, so that is a start. Things are very busy at our home, though. We are wrapping up the end of the school year, and preparing for Jerome's baptism. Mother's day was lovely. We went to the Sunday night all you can eat crab feed at Anthony's and the kids ordered fish and chips, while Rich and I feasted on crab. We will be eating out of the freezer and pantry for the next couple weeks, but it was well worth the splurge, not to mention we have a pretty well stocked pantry and freezer. All of the following meals will be made with ingredients we already had at home.
- Monday: Cheesy Chicken Chow Mein and Rice - I'm trying to recreate one of the few whitebread American foods I had as a kid, though mine will not include canned soup.
- Tuesday: Tuscan Meatloaf without the mushrooms and using red wine for the liquid, Mashed Potatoes and Herbed Green Beans
- Wednesday: Baked Penne and Vegetables with Rosemary Garlic White Sauce from Cooking Light with Parmesan added, Garlic Bread, Salad
- Thursday: Braised Lamb Shanks from Fine Cooking #84, Cracked Wheat Pilaf, Salad
- Friday: Eggs in Purgatory, Whole Wheat Pasta, Salad
- Saturday: Saucy Meatballs with Egg Noodles
- Sunday: German Farmer's Breakfast, Fruit Salad
