Menu Monday ~ January 20, 2020

January 20, 2020 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Hello, my friends. It’s time for that weekly feature – Menu Monday. I see we have a rather chilly week ahead of us here in Oklahoma with high temperatures mostly in the 40s. But we have some hearty meals on the menu to warm us up.

DEE’S MENU

Monday:

Meatless Monday!

  • roasted vegetables (potatoes, bell pepper, onion, asparagus)
  • spinach salad
  • deviled eggs

Tuesday:

Taco Tuesday!

  • black bean tacos
  • homemade coleslaw
  • tortilla chips and salsa

Wednesday:

Many, many years ago my grandfather who was an incredible cook gave me his 16-volume set of Family Circle cookbooks. In my quest to cook something from each of my cookbooks this year I decided to try something from this 1972 collection. If it turns out well I’ll share the recipe soon. 

  • Macaroni-Tuna Mornay (from Family Circle Illustrated Library of Cooking)
  • candied carrots
  • salad

Family Circle Cookbooks

Thursday:

I bought a fresh pineapple at Aldi a few days ago which inspired this meal idea. I’ll make the egg rolls and fried rice vegetarian.

  • egg rolls
  • fried rice
  • fresh pineapple
  • coleslaw

Friday:

I put a couple of extra bags of cranberries in the freezer during the holidays and have a turkey tenderloin in there, as well. I also bought a couple of extra boxes of Stove Top Stuffing, something my son loves. Since we are doing a “no buy January” this seems like the perfect time to use up these items.

  • turkey tenderloin
  • mashed potatoes
  • stuffing
  • homemade cranberry sauce
  • corn on cob

Saturday:

The best part about cooking a big meal on Friday? Leftovers on Saturday!

  • leftovers

Sunday:

We”ll eat out after church and either save some for dinner or eat something light.

    You’ve probably noticed, but I often take advantage of the option of leftovers. It’s not the case all the time (and actually isn’t happening much this week) but I like cooking for one day, and not needing to the next, especially since hubby and I eating different things nine times out of ten means two meals get cooked most nights otherwise.

    Hey, I have a meal involving pineapple and rice on my menu for this week too!

    Here’s my menu:

    Monday: baked potato with fried mushrooms and onions, served with kale.
    Tuesday: sweet & sour bean curd and vegetables, served with chips (fries).
    Wednesday: herby “cheese” and potato pie with sprouts.
    Thursday: leftovers from Wednesday.
    Friday: crispy tofu with pineapple fried rice and peas.
    Saturday: vegan vegetable spring rolls with dipping sauce.
    Sunday: vegetable soup.

      I love having leftovers! Sometimes I send leftovers with David and Chris to work for lunch but I’m always happy to have a night or two when I can just reheat leftovers and maybe make a salad.
