Menu Plan Monday, 7/14 - 7/20
July 13th, 2008
My Unstuffed Cabbage with Ground Turkey and Tandoori Tofu were my favorite meals this past week, and I will definitely make them again.
I have a pint of blueberries and two bananas that are almost overripe, so in addition to my menu plan this week I’m going to make my banana bread with those (I’ll puree the blueberries first, I think). If it’s too hot or I don’t find the time to bake I’ll freeze them to make smoothies or ice pops later.
We’re lucky to have two date nights in a row this week, both with dinner out I think. So I’m planning something a little lighter for Sunday (and in the crock pot, since I really don’t love to cook as the weekend is ending).
Monday: Homemade baked egg rolls, brown rice, braising greens sauteed in olive oil and garlic
Tuesday: Leftover grilled chicken, roasted beets over green salad, pasta
Wednesday: Sweet potato & black bean burritos, salsa, brown rice
Thursday: Fresh mozzarella, sauteed or roasted veggies from our CSA (summer squash? broccoli? not sure what we’ll get yet), whole wheat spaghetti
Friday: Date night! Dinner out in the city; boys have pizza?
Saturday: Date night again! Dinner out; boys have leftovers
Sunday: Crock pot ratatouille (this one?), whole wheat spaghetti, French bread (store bought)

Wednesday looks awesome to me! But what looks even better are your two date nights. Only good things come from investing time in your man! Have a great time.
