Menu Plan Monday, 11/16 – 11/22
November 15, 2009
We have another busy week in store, with several more weeknights where some or all of us are out of the house. It’s nice to have plans but I am a homebody at heart and look forward to our schedule finally relaxing after Thanksgiving.
Mae’s Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken with Pineapple was a huge success last week, and I will definitely make it again. I did finally post about the Slow Cooker Chicken with Sweet Potatoes, too, which is also a solid recipe that I can recommend.
There was no farm share pick up on Wednesday, which is good because I’ve been seriously lax about using up my share from the week before. I did finally use our CSA butternut squash to make Roasted Butternut Squash with Blue Cheese & Walnuts, which was incredible.
This week I need to start planning and shopping for a tailgate and Thanksgiving — I need a little nudge!
Monday: Leftovers for the guys; I’m bringing Pasta with Lentils, Tomatoes & Arugula to a friend’s house
Tuesday: Slow Cooker Vegetarian Minestrone Soup (from CITK reader Rebecca), challah rolls
Wednesday: Slow Cooker BBQ Skirt Steak (I’m making this up), rolls, salad
Thursday: Baked chicken, peas, egg noodles
Friday: Eating out
Saturday: Eating out
Sunday: Boys fend for themselves (Whoo hoo! I have tickets to New Moon!)

Our schedules are very similar this week:) Please post the soup recipe or email it to me. I want to try making soup in the slow cooker.
