I made every entree on my menu plan last week and most of the side dishes too. In the end, it proved easiest and most convenient to stick to the menu sheet rather than think up something fresh.
I don't know if that will work out this week or not but we'll see.
Saturday was rainy and quite cold. I had no real meal until Friday night. Sunday's meal was already planned.
Now to figure out Monday-Friday...
Saturday: Croissants/Bagels
Bbq Wings, Home Fries, Carrot and Celery sticks
Chili. John opted to have pasta with his. I pulled leftover Mexican rice from the freezer to thaw and tone down the spiciness of this particular brand of chili powder for the rest of us. I felt Caleb would eat it better if it wasn't quite so peppy.
Sunday: We'll all likely have peanut butter toast since I know John and I will be up super early (8am service)
Brunch: Orange Danish, Sausage Balls, Sliced Ham, Deviled Eggs, Fresh Fruit, Cupcakes
Sandwiches, Chips, Leftover Cupcakes
From this point forward it's planning but not for a specific day. Temperatures will obviously come into play for some of these meals and one of the easier ones will be for Friday.
Tuna Pasta Salad, Tomato Soup, Saltines
Lazy Day Stew, Salad, Corn Muffins. I'll be using leftover roast beef for the stew meat in this dish. Otherwise, I'll follow the usual recipe for the dish.
Ham and Potatoes au Gratin, Asparagus, Tiny Biscuits
Company Chicken, Wild Rice, Green Beans with Mushrooms
Hamburgers or Hotdogs, Chips, Coleslaw. I'll make the buns whichever I decide to do.
