Menu Plan Monday, 3/17 – 3/23
March 16, 2008
My boys both have croup. I have been busy with new schedules and PTA stuff. And did I mention the boys have croup? Keeping it simple this week, and using up stuff in my freezer, fridge and pantry.
We tried several new dishes this past week that are keepers: vegetarian Bolognese over pasta, slow cooker stuffed peppers (but oops, my quantities were way off), and a surprise favorite, baked huevos rancheros. I also made chocolate chip banana bread to cheer up my under-the-weather boys.
Monday: chicken soup for my sick honey boys
Tuesday: baked chicken cutlets, Brussels sprouts, challah rolls
Wednesday: J.’s Favorite Goulash, whole wheat egg noodles, broccoli
Thursday: bring in pizza
Friday: leftovers (and we’re making hamantaschen with friends to celebrate Purim!)
Saturday: out to eat?
Sunday: lamb chops? I’m headed up to the butcher to restock my freezer, so something meaty

I hope your boys feel better soon! (& I feel for YOU-always hard on a mom when the kids are sick). That banana bread would sure cheer me up.
Thanks for sharing your menu. Have a great week!

Your food looks amazing. I am glad my dh is asleep because he would be drooling over the lamb chops!

Hi Dara,
Your menu looks SO good….yum.
You left a message on my food blog asking if the portuguese spinach is a particular recipe. I guess so, the way we make ours is with olive oil and garlic and fried….it’s REALLY good, I’ll have the actual recipe up when I make it this week

The banana bread sounds delicious. I love how you cooked it in a can – I hadn’t heard of that before!

I love this site so much. I usually read you on my Google Reader, right? Well, I don’t “mark as read” so I can go back and re-read your posts! LOL!

I hope everyone is feeling better soon. Are you making the challah rolls? I am looking for an easy recipe.
Nope, they’re from Food Emporium! — Dara

I never knew you could freeze cilantro! How cool is that?

I like your menu and all, I am just glad to see you are having a few breaks…ordering in, having leftovers and going out once. You likely need a bit of a break right about now!
