Hello Ladies!
We've finally exhausted my long menu, so now I actually have to think what to cook this week. But I think this week is going to be simple with Jim traveling (again! But not as frequent as Liam!) and the fact I stocked up on meat this morning. Let's just say my $100 grocery bill had only 1 bunch of spinach and grapes :) But fear not over the health of your nieces and nephew...I'll be going to another grocery store and Costco Monday for the fruits, veggies, and dairy.
Sat: Balsamic Pork Chops, roasted Parsnip, mashed potatoes, salad and dinner rolls. (Thanks Ann Marie for the parsnip idea - now Nathan just LOVES white carrots.)
Sun: Leftovers of braised beef or Malaysian chicken.
Mon: Meatloaf ala Kathy (your stance of being a one pound of ground meat family was on my mind when I stocked up on 95% lean ground beef this morning!), fruit salad, cauliflower.
Tues: Turkey chili, corn muffins, salad, and twice baked potatoes.
Wed: Lamb and sweet onion pitas with orange cucumber salad, beets, and roasted veggies.
Thurs: Leftovers
Fri: Peas and carrot soup with dumplings, salad, and raisin apricot bread.
Sat: Spaghetti and meatballs, salad, roast veggies, garlic bread.
Sun: Easter dinner for 18 :)

P.S Kathy - want to warn Mom that I'm thinking of sending 72 yards of fabric directly to her house so she can help me make my living and kids activity room draperies in May? :) Hmmm...perhaps she will need one of your free tickets to escape IL then.
Betty,
ReplyDeleteSounds like a yummy week. Sorry Jim's out of town. How long? I am curious…where do you buy your lamb? I never see that here and would love some variety!

Hi Ann Marie!
ReplyDeleteJim left Sunday morning for Michigan and comes home tonight around midnight - so today sure feels more like a Tuesday than a Monday. He then takes off again Wednesday for the Bay Area and Thursday for Arizona. So technically he's only gone 2 nights this week, but these day trips means he leaves around 6 and comes home around 7:15 p.m. Long days when I can't squeeze a workout in at 5:30 a.m.!
I get the lamb at Costco. They always have it and the quality is great. Once in a while I'll see lamb chops for cheap, then its a super nice dinner treat for all.
Hope you are getting some sleep now! How is little Claire doing?
Love
Betty
