The menu from last week ended up significantly different than as written. But, basically it just got switched around and I do have a little left over for this next week, so as a tool, the menu was quite helpful. The hit of the week was the Veggie Lasagna. I made double portions so we could have left overs, and only 2 pieces were left. And it was requested again this week. I am not making it this week, but will probably do it next week. Flub of the week - I forgot we were invited to dinner Monday night, so that meal got shifted to Tuesday, and then a few other changes were made. But, no harm done.<br /><br /> Now, for the week of October 1 - October 7.<br /><br /><h4>Sunday</h4><br />Pizza (again, brunch is served at church after Divine Liturgy. This week my contribution will be Biscotti)<br /><br /><h4>Monday</h4><br />Breakfast - Baked Oatmeal with dried cherries and pecans<br />Lunch - Meat and cheese sandwiches and veggie/bean soup<br />Snack - crackers and cheese<br />Dinner - 40 Garlic chicken, salad and bread<br /><br /><h4>Tuesday</h4><br />Breakfast - Scrambled eggs in tortilla, OJ, Hot tea<br />Lunch - grilled cheese and tomato soup<br />Snack - granola and yogurt<br />Dinner - Chili and cheese, carrots and broccoli<br /><br /><h4>Wednesday</h4><br />Breakfast - pancakes and fruit<br />Lunch - Leftover veggie soup and bread<br />Snack - friut and breadsticks<br />Dinner - Sauteed (Frozen) spinach with garlic, lemon juice and olive oil and garbanzo beans in a pita. Served with fruit<br /><br /><h4>Thursday</h4><br />Breakfast - Bacon, eggs and toast<br />Lunch - sub sandwiches and veggie sticks<br />Snack - yogurt and granola<br />Dinner - Pot luck at church between the chidren's choir and youth group. I will bring pasta salad<br /><br /><h4>Friday</h4><br />Breakfast - cold cereal and fruit<br />Lunch - PB & J sandwiches, potato chips and carrots<br />Snack - granola bars<br />Dinner - veggie soup and bread.<br /><br />At some point this week I will use up the rest of my rhubarb and make a cobbler. And we have tons of banana's now, and will undoubtably be making some banana bread this week. <br /><br /><h4>Saturday</h4> <br />Breakfast and lunch are whatever People Can Find<br />Dinner - Pot roast, shredded, on sandwich rolls. Mac and cheese, creamed spinach (frozen). <br /><br />Okay, that about does it. Tuesday and Wednesday have to be "prepare ahead" or "super quick" dishes because I am gone in the afternoons those days. <br /><br />Thursdays every other week we have choir, communal meal and youth group at church. Can you see that eating together is important at our church? It's difficult to have communion without community!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34929990-115964341021001676?l=menufortheweek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mary Poppins NOTnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34929990.post-1159072295698851302006-09-23T21:11:00.000-07:002006-09-23T21:35:09.740-07:00So this is my attempt at meal planning. Some of my readers at <a href="http://www.3acres.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">crazyacres</a> asked to see what sort of menu I came up with, so here it is. I already did my grocery shopping for this menu, so there is no reason I can think of at this time why this shouldn't work. But then, there's always the unexpected...<br /><br /><h4>Sunday</h4> - We only eat dinner at home as brunch is served at church following Divine Liturgy. I am bringing an egg/bacon/cheese strata to share.<br />Dinner will be Pot Roast with roasted green beans, carrots, onions and potatoes.<br /><br /><h4>Monday</h4><br />Breakfast - Cream of Wheat and bananas, OJ, and hot tea<br />Lunch - Meat and Cheese sandwiches, popcorn, carrots<br />Snack - yogurt and granola<br />Dinner - Stuffed meatloaf, potatoes, asparagus<br /><br /><h4>Tuesday</h4><br />Breakfast - cold cereal with fruit, OJ<br />Lunch - Tomato Soup and grilled cheese, carrot sticks, apples<br />Snack - popcorn<br />Dinner - Hamburgers, mixed veggies, red beans and rice.<br /><br /><h4>Wednesday</h4><br />Breakfast - english muffins and peanut butter, OJ, tea<br />Lunch - tuna salad sandwiches, fruit and veggies<br />Snack - pretzels and cherry cider<br />Dinner - veggie lasagna<br /><br /><br /><h4>Thursday</h4><br />Breakfast - Fried eggs and bacon with toast, OJ and hot tea<br />Lunch - ***Leftovers***<br />Snack - Cottage cheese with fruit<br />Dinner - Tacos<br /><br /><h4>Friday</h4><br />Breakfast - Hot Oatmeal with dried cherries, pecans and brown sugar, OJ, hot tea<br />Lunch - Peanut butter and jelly sanwiches, apple sauce, raw veggies<br />Snack - dried fruit and crackers<br />Dinner - Veggie and bean soup with bread, milk and hot tea.<br /><br />Saturday is a free for all food-wise. Dinner is usually left-overs (again) or pizza or some other quick, easy, use-up-what-we-have type deal.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34929990-115907229569885130?l=menufortheweek.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mary Poppins NOTnoreply@blogger.com1
