Menu Plan Monday April 11, 2011

If you’re not familiar, go here to read about it.

I think I’m going to change my menu plan to a Sunday start. It just works out better for my scheduling. I’ll still link up on Mondays, but this just makes more sense for me, k? k. Here goes…

Sunday: Travis’s birthday, restaurant of his choice
Monday: Swiss Chard Pesto with Whole Grain Angel Hair
Tuesday: Open night… either going out or just grabbing sanwiches – Maybe a trip to the new Sweet Tomatoes that just opened.
Wednesday: Mediterranean Tuna Salad Sandwiches with Kohlrabi Slaw and Green Salad  – I’m going to try a more Mediterranean slaw (as always if it works I’ll share it), but here’s one for apple and kohlrabi that’s delicious!
Thursday: Roasted Chicken breast with Asparagus and Mustard Roasted Potatoes
Friday: The Sopitas de Tortilla dish that I’ve tried to make and just not gotten to for the last three weeks.
Saturday: Something with Collard Greens.  I got them this week and I just have no idea what to do with them.  I’ll update when I figure it out.

Another busy, busy week ahead.  We’ve got music lessons on Monday, Manga Club on Tuesday, I think I might have to go to a client on Thursday, and Friday Haley’s performing at a Relay for Life Event. Phew.  When the heck will I cook? Aaaaand. last week I never got to one or two of the dishes so they’ll be on this week’s menu.

Monday – Linguine with grape tomatoes and Green beans – recipe to come if it works. Update: Yep, it was amazing.
Tuesday – The Sopitas de Tortilla I never got to last week.
Wednesday – Roasted Chicken with Orzo Salad
Thursday – Grilled Steak and Green Salad
Friday – Concession food at the Relay for Life Event
Saturday – I’d like to say “fish”, but I have no idea.
Sunday – Travis’s birthday dinner at the restaurant of his choice

What a sad little menu.  Although the orzo salad is so good you can’t believe it, I get two nights off, and linguine, yum!

I hope you have a great week!
