Menu Plan Monday, 10/27 - 11/2
October 26th, 2008
Right now, my kitchen counters are scrubbed clean and there isn’t a single pot, pan, or dish that needs my attention. I feel the need to mention it because it’s become somewhat of a rare occurrence — I’ve been feeling beaten down by dirty dishes lately! So, this week is going to be simple, using a stockpile from my freezer to keep the number of pots and plates to a minimum.
In addition to the dinners below, I’ll make a batch of PB & Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins this week, too.
Monday: Meatballs in tomato sauce (homemade, from the freezer), whole wheat spaghetti, carrot sticks
Tuesday: Bean Soup with Kale, Italian bread
Wednesday: Chicken salad (defrost cooked chicken from the soup I made last week), bagels, edamame
Thursday: Chicken soup with noodles (from freezer), sweet potato fries
Friday: Halloween! Yogurt, grapes, and challah
Saturday: Triple-Tomato Penne with fresh mozzarella, farm share veggies
Sunday: Some sort of soup and bread, depending on what we get from our farm share (squash soup?)

I should try that bean soup with kale - I’m not good about using the kale we get in our basket some weeks. I’m not that creative with it, lol.
I made the apple flax muffins - delicious. Even the kids liked them. I made an applesauce in the crockpot last week, and had too much leftover. I just threw it in the muffins (I had about four cups so it worked out well b/c that’s about what you called for), and it already had cinnamon in it. It worked like a charm b/c I just can’t believe how good they tasted!!
