Menu Plan Mon-Tuesday July 21-27

Posted in Eating
I haven't been planning my menus much lately, on paper/screen anyway.  I've just had a general idea of what I want to use up, what I bought at the farmers market and what everyone has been asking for.  I've been playing it pretty much by ear.  I thought this would be a good week to try a bit of advance planning though.  So here goes:

Monday
breakfast- waffles
lunch- leftover baked pasta, garlic bread
dinner- corned beef hash, fresh corn on the cob (garden), sliced roma tomatoes (garden)

Tuesday (must go to bank and grocery for a few odds and ends; soak pintos for tomorrow's dinner)
breakfast- oatmeal
lunch- Pippi's
dinner-  It's our 8th anniversary so I'll give the kids some mac and cheese and put them to bed early, then serve my love a nice grass-fed sirloin steak, more corn from the garden, tomatoes and maybe some boiled red potatoes.  I need to think up something for a dessert as well.

Wednesday (put pintos in crockpot in the morning)
breakfast- corned beef hash with scrambled eggs
lunch- leftover Chinese from Sunday, pbj pitas for those who wish
dinner- tacos, refried beans, Mexican rice

Thursday (bake pita in morning)
breakfast- scrambled egg pitas
lunch- egg salad pita sandwiches, pretzel sticks
dinner- burritos with Wednesday's leftovers (probably in pitas because I will be low on tortillas from tacos)

Friday
breakfast- baked oatmeal
lunch- leftover burritos
dinner- Chili's downtown before the ball game (hopefully with my parents)

Saturday (pull chicken to thaw for Sunday dinner)
breakfast- blueberry coffeecake, fried eggs
lunch- grilled cheese, tomato soup
dinner- Alton Brown's french toast, bacon


Sunday
breakfast- omelets, biscuits
lunch- something on the run; we'll hit the farmers market after church
dinner- chicken cacciatore, fresh veggies, polenta
