Menu Monday ~ December 30, 2019

December 30, 2019 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Well, friends…did you survive the holidays? We’ve got a party Tuesday and a big meal for New Year’s Day then it’s back to healthier eating habits for this household! Let’s take a look at this week’s menu.

Menu Monday

DEE’S MENU

Monday:

  • homemade vegetarian pizza
  • tossed green salad

Tuesday:

We are hosting a small New Year’s Eve party. It starts at 8 p.m. and I’ll have various finger foods, dessert, wine and champagne. I think we’ll just eat a salad before the party. 

Wednesday:

It’s New Year’s Day and that calls for a traditional meal. My dad’s birthday is Thursday so if he’s feeling up to it we’ll have my parents over for dinner and a birthday celebration. 

  • ham
  • cabbage
  • stuffing
  • black eyed peas (maybe – none of us really like them but they are traditional)
  • cranberry sauce
  • mashed potatoes
  • rolls

Thursday:

  • leftovers

Friday:

  • spaghetti
  • broccoli
  • salad
  • garlic bread

Saturday:

  • casserole with leftover spaghetti sauce
  • salad

Sunday:

Mexican food after church

With a new year comes a new menu plan. For the most part, I’m going to implement the following general menu plan:

Mondays: “Meatless Monday” – I’ll be experimenting with new vegetarian recipes and I’ll share the winners with you.

Tuesdays: “Taco Tuesday” – These will be vegetarian tacos; either made with black beans or lentils.

Wednesdays: Either a slow cooker or Instant Pot meal.

Thursdays: Another vegetarian or vegan meal unless we have lots of leftovers from Wednesday.

Fridays: If we don’t go out I like to do an “at home date night” meal. This is either something a little fancier or a favorite of David’s, such as spaghetti.

Saturdays: Cook’s choice.

Sundays: We like to eat lunch out after church and then just make something simple and light for supper.

    Nice menu. Enjoy your New Year’s Eve party, and happy birthday to your Dad. I like that you’ll be trying to eat more vegetarian meals in the coming year.

    I’m starting to work on doing menus again, so… My menu for this week looks like this:

    Monday: humus and faloffel wraps, with wild rocket salad.
    Tuesday: baked potato and salad.
    Wednesday: rosemary roast potatoes, maple roast parsnips, carrots, and broccoli.
    Thursday: leftovers from Wednesday.
    Friday: crispy tofu, chips, and peas.
    Saturday: sweet & sour vegetables and tofu, served with rice.
    Sunday: spinach and mushroom pie, mashed potatoes, and broccoli.
