the menu
In my unending quest for organization, I try to make a weekly menu. We do not always stick to the plan, yet, if it is on paper we tend to get take out or "wing it" less often.
This week's menu is:
Monday: Carmelized Garlic Chicken from the Saving Dinner
Tuesday: Leftover Bratwurst with grilled onions (for the meaties.. ), Annie's Mac-N-Cheese, bagged salad with Drew's Salad Dressing or Blue Cheese Vinaigrette (for Timothy). Mom has to go out so dinner is all Dad. This is the plan. However, since we are meeting Dad at Lowe's to pick up some plants and seeds for the garden, dad may scrap my plans and we will have fast food before I head out.
Wednesday: Pasta Carbonara. We have never made this before. Bacon and Heavy cream sound incredibly rich, but the gentlemen in our family really do like those ingredients. I was inspired to try this dish by Elizabeth at Kitchen Comforts.
Thursday: Breakfast Dinner. When cleaning the basement last month, I found the heart shaped waffle maker which we received as a wedding gift from one of my dear bridesmaids. Julian so enjoys waffles and has been anxious to give this a go. I plan to serve with scrambled eggs and (Veggie) Sausage (they'll never know it's veggie, really!).
Friday: Fish Romano, once again, from the Saving Dinner
Saturday: I have to work. Menu is Dad's choice. Whatever he prepares, I will leave some broccoli handy. He likes burgers. So I should prepare some hummus and leave some raw veggies and pita. Julian and Timothy would be pleased to make a meal of hummus since neither care for burgers. The younger three will enjoy burgers with Daddy, though.
Sunday: Sirloin Strips marinated in Pineapple Juice, fresh grated ginger, fresh pressed garlic and Tamari. Served with Jasmine Rice with Bragg's Liquid Aminos, Steamed Veggies. Brownie Pizza for Sunday Dessert.
