Menu Plan Monday


Monday - Balsamic Chicken with Pesto Gravy and Bitter Greens

* edited to add that I have no idea how to make gravy. The "pesto gravey" turned out more like dressing, which was actually ok as O pointed out because it was served over the greens.
Tuesday - Turkey Tetrazzini(leftover from freezer)

Wednesday - CJ's

Thursday - Slow Cooker New England Potroast with Vegetables

Friday - G&D

Menu Plan Monday(on Tuesday!)


Monday - Red Beans and Rice with Andouille sausage(an Ole creation)

Tuesday - Honey glazed chicken

Wednesday - Burrito bar

Thursday - Linguine and clam sauce(sauce from freezer)

Friday - Out!

From this point on, I will only mention main courses and sides(if noteworthy in my opinion). A vegetable, fresh fruit, spinach and/or lettuce salad, and whole grain bread are generally offered with dinner.

Also, we do eat on weekends, but that is generally when Ole gets creative in the kitchen. All his recipes seem to be in his noggin, so it is rather hard to put here. With the main purpose being organization, and the week days being the most hectic, Monday through Friday meals are those that I care to focus on.
