Meal Planning

June 11th, 2012 at 06:04 am

Those potatoes I dug yesterday were so delcious tonight. Sweet and fresh and about as tasty as potato can be. We had them mashed with gravy with our potroast, green beans, cloverleaf rolls, and salad (fresh picked from the window boxes right before dinner). Anyway, I boiled up enough potatoes to save some out for dinner tomorrow and those ones will be fried.

Monday--
Pork chops
Broccoli/cauliflower
Fried potatoes
corn
grapes (except DS) and cantaloupe

Tuesday--
Spaghetti
Meatballs
Salad or coleslaw depending on how much cabbage is left
Garlic toast

Wednesday--
Tropical Island Chicken Stir-fry (has lots of veggies)
Cantaloupe

Thursday--
Club sandwiches (homemade bread toasted, lettuce, tomato (if I can find an organic ripe one) ham, turkey, cheddar)
Sweet potato fries

Friday--
Homemade pizza (ground beef, bell peppers, onions, pepperoni)
Salad

Saturday--
Oven Fried Chicken
Steamed baby potatoes
Broccoli/Cauliflower
Fruit

Sunday--
Pot roast
corn on the cob
green beans
cloverleaf rolls
fruit

I may swap out the club sandwiches if I don't find a good tomato for breakfast food (ham and turkey are frozen anyway), likely Belgian waffles with strawberries, sausages, and sliced cucumbers (yes, I know, but I have to serve a vegetable at dinner time).

Anyway, that's the plan. I need to make one shopping trip this week to buy a gallon of milk, strawberries, corn on the cob, bananas and a tomato. Everything else is on hand.

I made a loaf of bread tonight. I found a recipe for a single loaf instead of making two loaves since it is so hard to go through two loaves of bread when DH is away. It smells good. Hopefully it will be good, too.

    Great menu planning. You can always freeze the second loaf unbaked if you wrap it in plastic and then in foil and then when you are ready to bake it, let it thaw and "rise" before baking.

    I really don't like freezing bread dough. It never seems to be as good as freshly made dough. Which is weird because pizza dough works just fine from frozen. It's not a huge deal to make a single loaf at a time though, since I use the bread machine to do all the kneading.
