Grace is back in school today . . . just 3 mornings a week. Liam and I did the annual drop-off then walk to the coffee shop for a celebratory brew. I think that in 2 years, the drop-off might be followed by a walk to a different kind of brew! :)
I have a longer meal plan . . . nice to get back into a routine again.
Monday: Salmon, brown rice, garden fare
Tuesday: grilled meat and veggie foil packets (chicken, steak, zucchini, white and sweet potato, red onion, red pepper, garlic, mushrooms), popovers (was supposed to be Irish brown bread, but I ran out of whole wheat flour!!)
Wednesday: Spaghetti (made with garden tomatoes) and meat sauce, salad
Thursday: (Liam at work, me out to dinner with a friend, YIPEE!): hot dogs, corn on the cob, melon
Friday: Chicken in the crock, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli
Saturday: Parish Picnic!
Sunday: Ham, sweet potato casserole, green beans, salad
Monday: Sirloin steak fajitas (crock pot)
Tuesday: Grilled fish, grilled veggie quinoa
Wednesday: Stuffed baked potatoes (leftover ham, cheese, veggies, etc)
Thursday: Pesto Making Day! (Pesto pasta for dinner, of course.) :)
Friday: Plan to go to Bloomington
Saturday: Hamburgers, peas, oven fries, tom-basil-mozz
Sunday: Cube steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, roasted carrots, salad
Hope everyone is doing well!
Love,
Kathy
Thanks Kathy for jump-starting this blog again and for the many meal ideas.
ReplyDeleteHow do you make chicken in the crock without turning the chicken to a pile of mush or chewy from being over-cooked?
I'll get on my menu planning soon. Perhaps while camping this weekend....
Hey Betty! I have the same problem with the crock pot for chicken . . . . especially since my crock pot (that I actually just tossed!) didn't seem to have a "low" setting. It was either NUCLEAR or OFF. So I just checked it all the time, cooked it for WAY LESS than called for, and controlled the heat by turning it to keep warm a couple times. Translation: it was a pain! Hopefully my new crock pot will help, but my advice is that they never seem to take as long as they are "supposed to". I put mine in after lunch!
