Menu Plan Monday

We ended up not going out of town this weekend. Michael came down with the crud that has been circulating his office. Normally this wouldn’t stop us (he wasn’t terribly ill), but his mother is undergoing chemotherapy and really can’t be around anyone who is sick with a lowered immune system. So. I did end up sticking to last week’s meal plan, although I had to add in a few meals for the weekend. We spent this evening at the county fair, so a fun, albeit unhealthy, meal was had there. I’ve decided to share some of our breakfasts this week, in addition to just dinner. Lunch is almost always leftovers.

BREAKFAST:

• Chunky Monkey Oatmeal
• Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie
• Oatmeal w/Raisins and Cinnamon
• Whole Wheat Toast w/Jam and a Hard Boiled Egg

DINNER:

• Monday: Baked Salmon, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans (Michael is cooking)
• Tuesday: Peppers Stuffed w/Lentils and Rice
• Wednesday: Green Bean, Pepper & Tofu Stir-Fry
• Thursday: Pumpkin Bisque, Snap Peas
• Friday: Leftover Buffet
• Saturday: Out of Town (we hope)
• Sunday: Out of Town (we hope)

We visited the Farmers Market again this weekend. It was later in the day by the time we got there. We got some great stuff, but Michael is more of a what do we need, lets find it kind of shopper whereas I am more of a what is a great deal, lets get it kind of shopper. This is reflected in our cooking styles, I think. Michael finds a recipe and then his ingredients. I see what we’ve got and then look for a recipe!
