Menu Monday ~ March 14, 2016

March 14, 2016 By Deanna Piercy 8 Comments

This week’s menu includes a night of grilling on the back patio (yay, Springtime!), one of my specialties for company,  a St. Patrick’s Day dinner and more.

Menu Monday ~ March 14, 2014

Dee’s Menu

Monday 

It’s going to be in the low 80s today so I think it’s time to dust off the grill and eat outdoors. 

  • grilled hot dogs
  • homemade potato salad (will make extra for tomorrow)
  • fresh fruit

Tuesday

We are having some musician friends over to hear their new album. I’m going to feed them, of course. 🙂

  • jambalaya
  • homemade potato salad
  • French bread

Wednesday

  • chef salads
  • homemade bread (hopefully!)

Thursday

It’s St. Patrick’s Day so tonight’s menu will be a nod toward my Irish ancestry.

  • Crock Pot Guiness Corned Beef and Cabbage

Friday

We are attending a house warming barbecue. I haven’t decided yet what I’ll bring – maybe a big salad with lots of goodies in it. 

Saturday

  • spaghetti
  • salad
  • garlic bread

Sunday

We’ll go out for Mexican food after church and save half for dinner.

I’ve decided to start sharing some menu planning resources with you each week in addition to simply sharing my own menu. I hope you find these helpful. If there’s something specific you’d like to know more about, please let me know.

 

Menu planning can save you money as it helps decrease waste. Here are some great tips on meal planning by Retro Housewife Goes Green:

So tell me, what’s on YOUR menu this week?

    It all sounds yummy, Dee! I was at a friend’s for dinner last week, and she made chef’s salads, and she put baby corn in hers. Have you ever had baby corn in a salad before?? I never had, but it was really good!

      I just wanted to pop in and say that I tried the baby corn suggestion and it was wonderful. Thanks for sharing that idea!

    Homemade potato salad might have to be on my menu sometime this week. I have potatoes I need to use up, plus I’ve had a craving for potato salad, too. No grilling for us yet – we’re back to cold temps (40’s) and nothing but rain. One dish I have planned for this week is a recipe for chicken thighs with shallots, garlic, lemon and white wine, made in a Dutch oven. The recipe is on this blog post: http://blondiesjournals.blogspot.com/2016/03/spring-fluffing-some-fun-shopping.html

    Monday: cheesy fries with vegetable gravy.

    Tuesday & Wednesday: garlic-rosemary roast potatoes with baby carrots, green beans, and cauliflower.

    Thursday: I’m going to have the leftover veggie spaghetti bake that’s in the freezer from last week.

    I haven’t decided about the other three days. But I’ll need to either plan something simple for Saturday, or make sure there are leftovers from Friday, because I have a pre-roleplaying character creation discussion on Saturday evening.

      The garlic-rosemary potatoes with carrots, green beans and cauliflower sounds delicious. I can hardly wait until our local farmers market is in full swing. I love to make summer meals just from fresh veggies.
