Menu Plan Monday

Posted in Menu Plan Mondays

 

This weeks' meals have a distinct note:  beans.  Not only are they more inexpensive than meat, but they digest better.  In an effort to pare down our grocery bill, we have decided to have meat only 2-3 times each week, and the only meat I bring into our home is of the poultry variety.  This week it is two.  I am just beginning to build up our bean recipes, so if you have any you'd like to share, please do so!  I would welcome them all!

Monday:  Turkey and Spinach Pitas, Salad, Flavored Rice

Tuesday:  Veggie Stir Fry

Wednesday:  Polenta Pie and Salad

Thursday:  Black Bean Quesedillas, Homemade Salsa, Salad, Fl. Rice

Friday, Quick Tri-Bean Soup, Salad, Bread

Saturday:  Garlic-Lime Chicken, Pasta Salad Primavera, Watermelon, Brownies

Sunday:  Hubby's Homemade Veggie Pizza and Salad

Bon Apetit!

Menu Plan Monday

Posted in Menu Plan Mondays

I've decided to begin participing in I'm an Organizing Junkie's Menu Plan Mondays.  Because I'm new, none of the following recipes can be found on my web site yet.  I will add that day's recipe as it arrives, and link to it, for those who would like them.  I find that less intimidating than attempting to type all of that in right now. 

Monday:  we ate at Wendy's tonight, because of unusual circumstances.  This is *not* a usual occurence.

Tuesday:  Red Beans and Rice, Salad

Wednesday:  Bean Soup, Homemade Bread, Salad

Thursday:  Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Broccoli

Friday:  Shepherd's Skillet, Salad, Bread

Saturday:  No dinner menu needed as we're attending a late-afternoon graduation open house

Sunday:  Garlic Lime Chicken, Chicken Flavored Rice, Melon, Garlic Bread
