Menu Monday ~ February 27, 2017

February 27, 2017 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

As I am writing this on Sunday evening, I have the last of my international menu recipes simmering (North African Meatballs). It smells delicious! This coming week doesn’t have a theme although I do have a special meal planned for Tuesday – Mardi Gras. Let’s take a look…

 Dee’s Menu

Monday

I never did end up making lasagna last week. I’ll do a simplified version in the skillet. 

  • skillet lasagna 
  • salad
  • garlic toast

Tuesday

Today is Mardi Gras and so this only seems fitting:

  • jambalaya
  • potato salad
  • French bread
  • bread pudding

Wednesday

Today is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. We’ll be going to the Ash Wednesday service at church so this will be a good day for a one-pot slow cooker meal. 

  • vegetable soup in the crock pot
  • toasted French bread

Thursday

  • roast
  • fresh corn on the cob
  • Cauliflower, leek and cheese gratin
  • salad

Friday

I’m going to try to do fish or vegetarian meals on Fridays throughout Lent. 

  • sweet and spicy shrimp (I’ll share the recipe at some point.)
  • cheesy grits
  • steamed broccoli
  • salad

Saturday

At the time I’m making this menu it looks like it will be fairly warm Saturday. Sounds like a good day to grill. 

  • grilled cheeseburgers
  • French fries
  • fresh fruit salad

Sunday

You know the drill…Mexican food after church and save half for dinner.

What’s cooking at your house this week? Do you observe Lent? If so, do you do meatless or fish meals on Fridays? I’d love to see some of your favorite fish recipes. Leave me a comment!

I’m loving my Instant Pot. If you decide to purchase one, I’d be forever grateful if you’d use my affiliate link. It doesn’t cost you a penny more but I receive a small portion of the purchase price from Amazon. Thank you for supporting Life With Dee!

    I love how you thought about Mardi Gras for your menu planning. We’ll also be having fish a couple of times this week with Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent.

      I’m looking for some good fish recipes. If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them.

    I never observe lent. I use Mardi Gras (more commonly called “Shrove Tuesday” or “Pancake Day” here) as an excuse to have pancakes for dinner. But that’s about it. But then, since I’m a vegetarian, I’m still technically having meatless meals for lent… Even if it’s only because that’s my usual diet. 😉

    Anyway, yesterday (Monday) I had cheesy bean enchiladas (using the recipe you posted recently). Tonight (Tuesday) I’m having pancakes with maple syrrup. Hubby says he’s having pizza on Wednesday, so I think I’ll join him on that one. I haven’t figured out the rest of the week though, which you’re probably not surprised to hear, since that’s often the case.
