Menu Plan Monday, 12/15 – 12/21
December 14, 2008
I’m planning a straight-forward week, with no new recipes — and I’m already looking forward to the weekend.
On Sunday we’re having our family over for our annual Hanukkah party. The latkes J. and his mom make are the star attraction, but I’m still not totally settled on what else to serve. We have a modest amount of the borscht J. made recently (it’s in the freezer) which we can serve with black bread, and I’m thinking of making a big Mediterranean Chopped Salad I just got as a test recipe from Cook’s Illustrated. We always have sufganiyot (Dunkin’ Donuts!) for dessert, so we don’t want to fill up too much on lunch!
Monday: Hummus, bagels, carrot sticks
Tuesday: Roasted chicken with carrots and parsnips, challah rolls
Wednesday: Grilled cheese sandwiches, celery sticks
Thursday: Order in pizza
Friday: Baked chicken drumsticks, broccoli, challah
Saturday: Baked Huevos Rancheros, brown rice
Sunday: Family Hanukkah Party: latkes!
