Menu Plan Monday, 5/19 – 5/25
May 18, 2008
Last week’s plan was thrown out the window since G. was sick most of the week, and I was needed for snuggling on the couch. A lot of this week’s plan is therefore carried over from last week.
Challah is on the menu twice, but I’m not making it either time. The boys’ school has an annual fundraiser where we sign up for a Zomick’s egg challah delivered to A.’s backpack each Wednesday. I used to be able to surreptitiously remove it from his bag and stash it until Friday night; now he’s totally aware of it’s delivery and can’t wait to tear into it, so we wind up eating it Wednesday and Thursday instead. That’s fine, I’ve just started incorporating it into my menu. On Friday we get a second challah most weeks — one that is baked by A.’s class at school. So that’s where all the bread is coming from!
I’m going to try to get to the Easy Batter Rolls this coming long weekend — they really do sound simple and it will increase my confidence in working with yeast, I hope.
Monday: Braised Flank Steak with Lemon and Garlic (first time trying), roasted Brussels sprouts, whole wheat egg noodles
Tuesday: Falafel (frozen), hummus, pita, tzatziki, sliced tomatoes (pushed from last week)
Wednesday: Hard-boiled eggs, cheese, carrot & celery sticks, challah
Thursday: Cauliflower gratin, spinach, egg, & mushroom salad, rolls (store-bought)
Friday: Oven-roasted boneless rolled turkey breast, Dr. Praeger’s Broccoli Littles (trying these for the first time), challah
Saturday: Spicy Cheese Enchiladas, green salad, brown rice (pushed from last week)
Sunday: BBQ? or take-out

I love the spicy cheese enchiladas; my family has really been into spicy food lately. I’m going to give your recipe a try in the upcoming weeks. Great menu. Have a happy week!

I totally agree with the falafel. I love that stuff. The only vegetarian dish I could make in the house without my man complaining. Have a happy week!

You have great idea on this site. I wish I had more time to cook. The broccoli littles are great. The spinach ones are even better. Its the only green item that I can persuade Allie to eat. Ever.
