My menu of the week

Here is my Hayleyandsteve inspired menu of the week- which i must say is a great way to plan out your meals!

I find if take about hour to look up some recipes and think about what we want to eat in advance, i save time at the grocery store and i can start cooking as soon as i get home as opposed to thinking about what we are going to eat.
great idea Hayley! thanks!


Monday
Sloppy joes on toasted english muffins- used 90% lean ground meat
came out so yummy!

i seasoned the meat with a little cummin, a little taco seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, minced onion,minced peppers, a little chili powder.

then i made a sloppy joe sauce with ketchup, a little mustard and a little water to thin it out.
came out great!

Tuesday
Salmon with mustard dill sauce
i was going to follow a recipe till i came across a dijon mustard that had dill in it- so i think i'll just slap that on and broil it

Wednesday
Chicken tortilla soup ( made with my slow cooker)

Thursday
Chicken kabobs

Friday
Peppersteak with rice

Saturday
- we wont be home
Sunday
-we wont be home


anyone else have any ideas?

Re: My menu of the week

I do the same thing. I get home at 6 and DH doesn't get home until about 7:30, so I do have a little time to relax.

yesterday - meatloaf hamburgers with mashed potatoes, sauteed eggplant, cucumber & tomato salad
today - roasted chicken with latkes
wednesday - leftover honey ham with mac n' cheese, green salad
thursday - pork tenderloin with grainy mustard sauce, boiled potatoes, red cabbage
friday - easy eggplant parm (buy pre-made eggplant cutlets) side of pasta, green salad
saturday - reservations.
sunday - his choice.

Re: My menu of the week

This is such a great idea! I planned out my meals for the week this week because DH is away for work so I needed some ideas of things that I could make easy single-portions of (I dunno why but I never want to eat leftovers ). Here's what I came up with:

Sunday: Butternut squash soup and a grilled cheese (Ok, so sunday was the day I went shopping for all the other stuff so I was feeling lazy )
Monday: Hot dogs (Hebrew National 97% ff) with sauerkraut, green salad, homemade sweet potato fries
Tuesday: Veggies (broccoli, squash, peppers, onions, artichokes) sauteed with garlic and oil, whole wheat couscous
Wednesday: Baked salmon, green salad, baked butternut squash
Thursday: Black beans and rice
Friday: Some kind of pasta with chicken in it
Saturday: DH gets home - hopefully we'll go for sushi
