Menu Plan Monday, 9/12 – 9/18
September 11, 2011
Although it may look like I only menu plan and pick up my farm share lately, I have actually been doing quite a bit of cooking. Finding the time to get those dishes onto this site has been harder than usual recently, but I promise I have a very delicious backlog of recipes you will eventually get to see.
It was great to get back to real food and almost-daily cooking this past week. We were also able to pull a feast for six out of our freezer, thanks to a chuck roast & peppers medley J. had smoked several weeks ago. We vacuum-sealed the leftovers, and along with some gazpacho from the freezer (also made by J.), green beans, and frozen prepared rice (from when I made Chana Saag), we had a holiday-worthy meal in no time at all.
Monday: Bagels, chicken salad, sliced tomatoes
Tuesday: Hamburgers, homemade oven-baked potato chips, Mustard Vinaigrette Beet Salad
Wednesday: Wild Rice with Wild Mushrooms, roasted squash (bumped from last week; plus pasta for the boys, as this is really outside their comfort zone)
Thursday: Greek Baked Beans, Italian bread, cheese
Friday: Chicken soup with noodles, challah, farm share vegetables
Saturday: Eat out
Sunday: J. grills
