Menu Plan Monday, 9/22 – 9/28
September 21, 2008
Laura has declared this week to be a “Family Favorites” edition of Menu Plan Monday, and the two meals I cooked late this past week fit the bill: Chicken Castillo and J.’s Favorite Goulash (a crock pot recipe). Chicken Castillo is my mom’s recipe, which I always enjoyed growing up and I’ve now passed on to my friends. J.’s Favorite Goulash is, as the name says, my husband’s favorite meal. (If you’d like to know how to make plain pasta, then I can share the boys’ favorite meal as well.)
This past week I also really enjoyed the Spicy Green Bean & Tofu Stir Fry I tried for the first time. It’s definitely a meal I’ll make again. And I finally posted about the delicious Rolled Turkey Breast Stuffed with Swiss Chard & Garlic, which I made several weeks ago.
It was a good cooking week. My freezer is stocked with several meals worth of food, which feels right now that the weather is getting cooler. This week will be lighter cooking-wise, with the highlight of the week being Thursday, when my sister visits!
Monday: Leftover chicken soup, noodles, roasted beets
Tuesday: Scrambled eggs with sauteed eggplant, red pepper, & onion, bagels, garden salad
Wednesday: Leftovers or choose from the fridge (yogurt or cheese, crackers, fruit)
Thursday: Spinach Burritos with Salsa Verde, brown rice, tomato salad
Friday: Spicy chicken sausage with peppers & onions, whole wheat pasta, salad
Saturday: Take out
Sunday: Barley Risotto with Chanterelles, farm share veggies (+ corn on the cob option for the boys)
