Menu Monday ~ April 3, 2017

April 3, 2017 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Hey…it’s a new month! Let’s see what’s on the menu here at the Piercy house:

DEE’S MENU PLAN

 

Monday

David has a meeting for the volunteer firefighters and we’ll eat afterwards. There’s never any telling what time it will be over so I like to make something that will “hold”. I’ll make the sauce in the slow cooker and have the pasta ready to start as soon as he texts me that he is on his way home. 

  • spaghetti and meatballs
  • tossed green salad
  • garlic bread

Tuesday

My mom often made a casserole with spaghetti sauce, some type of noodle and topped with a thick layer of cheese. I know we will have leftover sauce and I’d like an easy meal since I will be going to the preview of our local public library book sale. It starts at 6:30 p.m. so easy cleanup is a plus. 

  • casserole (made with leftover spaghetti sauce)
  • green beans
  • salad
  • garlic bread

Wednesday

I have finally recovered from months of asthma trouble and am back singing in the church choir. Practice is at 7 (and it’s a 25 minute drive). I can have this meal ready to go early in the day and just stick the enchiladas in the oven in time for an early dinner. I’m going to make a large batch and bring some to my parents on my way to rehearsal. 

  • sour cream and green chili enchiladas
  • Mexican rice
  • chips and salsa

Thursday

It’s the start of a new season of East End Eats, a local music and food truck event that we help host the first Thursday of the month. We will eat there. 

Friday

I like to make a somewhat nicer meal on Fridays, light candles and open a bottle of wine. 

  • pork chops smothered in gravy
  • mashed potatoes
  • whiskey-glazed carrots
  • salad

Saturday

When the weather gets warm I like to do something on the grill once a week or so. We may eat out on the back patio, too. 

  • grilled brats on deli rolls
  • homemade coleslaw
  • french fries
  • fresh fruit

Sunday

Mexican food after church and save half for dinner.

I am loving my Instant Pot. Not only is it a pressure cooker but it can also be used as a slow cooker. The best part is that it also has a sauté feature so I can brown meat in it first then switch to slow cooker. That means one less pan to wash…always a good thing!

    That’s so nice of you to think of your parents and bring them dinner. I also like the sound of your Friday night dinners.

      My mom had a mild stroke in November and my dad is in poor health. I feel badly that I’m so busy I don’t get to see them more often. It’s too easy to let time pass. I do better if I have a regular schedule for something. Since I have to be in town for choir rehearsal on Wednesdays that seems like a good time to bring them a meal. When my grandmother was still alive I visited her every Wednesday before choir.

      Thanks for dropping by. Have a beautiful day!

    That’s nice of you to take your parents some dinner again.

    Here’s my menu for this week:

    Monday: Baked potato with cheese and beans, and rhubarb crumble for dessert.
    Tuesday: Omlett filled with mushrooms, onion and peppers, served with fried potatoes.
    Wednesday: Macaroni and cheese with fresh bread.
    Thursday: Chocolate chip pancakes.
    Friday: Homemade loaded veggie pizza
    Saturday: Cheese and onion pasty, mashed potatoes, peas and sweetcorn.
    Sunday: I’m not sure yet, but I’m thinking I might just make enough on Saturday for leftovers to be available for Sunday’s dinner.

      Your menu this week sounds delicious! I haven’t made homemade pizza in ages. I should do that.
