Menu Plan Monday, 8/2 – 8/8
August 2, 2010
This week I made a delicious Roasted Squash & Goat Cheese Pasta Salad, Slow Cooker Ratatouille (perfect if you have an over-producing garden or get a lot of vegetables from a CSA), and Corn and Basil Cakes.
I also baked oatmeal cookies with Heath bits inside (Oatmeal Toffee Cookies) and thought they were OK. J. said they were like “oatmeal raisin cookies without the raisins,” which translates to mean “better than no cookies at all, but barely.” The boys liked them well enough, but they’re not a repeat recipe for us.
Monday: Pizza play date
Tuesday: Spicy Chicken with Cashews, rice, steamed sesame green beans
Wednesday: Pan-fried gnocchi and swiss chard with Parmesan cheese (bumped from last week)
Thursday: Grilled teriyaki-marinated skirt steak, farm share veggies (corn & greens?), dinner rolls
Friday: Kids are eating out/ leftovers for me and J.
Saturday: J. grills (grilled pizza?) plus farm share veggies
Sunday: Eat out
