Menu Plan Monday: October 6
I'm almost ready to give up on the roast pork for a while. Our schedule was shifted so many ways this weekend. We didn't get our water back on in time to make the mac and cheese on Friday, so we ate fish sticks and french fries instead. Remind me never to do that again.
Sunday, we ate leftover egg and chorizo from Saturday's breakfast wrapped up as burritos. Since I hadn't managed to thaw out the pork loin, it was a good thing we had it to eat.
This week is Alexander's birthday, so he gets to choose the meal that night. He turns 10 on Wednesday, which means that we are entering double digits for the first time. We have such little time left with him at home now and it seems like there is so much more we have to give him than we have time to give.
- Monday: Beef & Veggie Stir Fry, Rice
- Tuesday: Meatloaf, Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce, Salad
- Wednesday: Falafel, Cous Cous, Crookneck Squash Fritters, Laban bi Chiyar, Black Forest Cupcakes

If you want a recipe, ask and I will provide it as soon as I can.
