Menu Plan Monday, 7/21 - 7/27

July 20th, 2008

Other than the awesome baked egg rolls, this week was a bust cooking-wise. I had a lot of nights where we planned to eat out, and somehow that just got me out of the mood to cook most of the other nights as well. That, and temperatures in the high 90s with oppressive humidity.

I also did unusually poorly this week using up food in my fridge. A portion of leftover Marinated Raw Summer Squash, a grilled chicken breast, and a couple of cooked sweet potatoes (I never made the Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos) all laid around until I had no healthy option but to toss them. The waste bothers me. I’m normally great about using up bits and pieces in my fridge for lunches, but I suppose we all have off weeks. This was definitely mine!

Now it’s a new week, and I’ve got a new, modest plan:

Monday: Spinach Burritos, brown rice, sliced cucumbers

Tuesday: Yogurt, bagels, fruit (after a late pool playdate)

Wednesday: Egg salad on challah rolls, carrot and celery sticks

Thursday: Unstuffed Cabbage with Ground Turkey (from the freezer), corn on the cob

Friday: Whole wheat spaghetti with sauteed farm share veggies (greens or squash?)

Saturday: Grilled steaks and summer squash, potato salad

Sunday: Take out
