Menu Plan Monday

by

To be honest, last week’s menu plan didn’t really work out for me. I sort of stuck with it, but instead of actually cooking the meals I planned every night we ended up eating the leftovers the following night instead of freezing them as planned. So the week looked like this:

Monday: Homemade cheese pizza
Tuesday: Bean, cheese, and sweet potato burritos
Wednesday: Leek and potato soup, sourdough baguettes
Thursday: Chicken and white bean stew, baguettesLeek and potato soup, sourdough baguettes
Friday: Garlic chicken( the other half of Thursday’s whole chicken), asparagus, mashed potatoesChicken and white bean stew, mashed potatoes
Saturday: Pepperoni bread (making one for Sunday), leftoversChicken and white bean stew, mashed potatoes
Sunday: birthday party food (I’m making macaroni and cheese, lots of cold appetizers and everyone else is bringing the rest)

This week probably won’t be much better. With all of the food we still have from the birthday party this week is going to be leftover heavy. It looks like I won’t have to go grocery shopping or actually cook anything completely from scratch until Saturday.

Monday: Chicken and white bean stew, mashed potatoes (yes, again.)
Tuesday: tomato pie, green salad
Wednesday: asparagus risotto, pepperoni bread
Thursday: chicken quesadillas, broccoli, leftover risotto
Friday: appetizers- cheese and crackers, hummus and pita, crudites, chips and buffalo chicken dip
Saturday: crockpot brisket, mashed potatoes, broccoli
Sunday: brisket sandwiches, oven fries

And of course we still have plenty of birthday cake in both chocolate and vanilla. For your entertainment, please enjoy a video of me preparing the Thomas the Tank Engine cake. I am not a professional.

About Kids Dish

If you flip through the pages of a number of kids’ magazines, you get the impression that kids’ meals should be Michelin affairs, complete with matching dishware and veggies cut to resemble the works of impressionist painters.

Let’s be real. Parents don’t have that kind of time. And kids have to eat. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Kids' dish focuses on healthy, practical meal solutions for kids… and occasionally, that might mean matching dishware.
