Last week didn’t exactly go according to plan. In fact, Monday was the only night we ate what was on my menu. Some weeks are just like that but I still find it helpful to plan a menu in advance. This week appears to be a little less busy. Of course, just writing that is like practically begging the universe to throw me a curve ball. I’ve got my catcher’s mitt ready so bring it on!
Monday:
I baked extra potatoes Saturday night so I’ll use them to make a potato leek soup.
- potato leek soup
- Super Easy Beer Bread
- cooked apples
Tuesday:
I hope to do some baking this day. I need to bake the usual five loaves of wheat bread and restock the freezer. While I’ve got the kitchen in disarray, I plan to also bake homemade buns and apple muffins.
- Black Bean Patties with Corn Relish and Avocado Cream sauce
- on homemade buns
- French fries
- salad
Wednesday:
I’ll be providing a casserole for the Thursday lunch at United Campus Ministry so I’ll just go ahead and make one for us, too. I try to take them something vegetarian since I’m about the only one who does so, and I receive specific requests for this one.
- macaroni and cheese with caramelized onions
- salad
- apple muffins with streusel topping
Thursday:
David’s boss will be in town and will be taking us out to dinner.
Friday:
David likes to go out on Fridays but we are trying to cut back on eating out. Since we will have eaten out the night before, I’ll cook a lighter dinner of veggies. Then we’ve been invited to a music show in Shawnee (about 45 minutes away) which I hope we can attend. If not, we will try to find some music locally.
- Frosted cauliflower
- braised kale (new-to-me recipe; I’ll share later)
- glazed carrots
- mashed potatoes
Saturday:
