Weekly menus? I need inspiration
What's everybody planning to eat this week? And does anyone have a good mac n cheese recipe, particularly one that involves mozzarella? Thanks.
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.
Re: Weekly menus? I need inspiration
I try to keep my menu simple.
Monday: BBQ chicken, oven fries, and steamed broccoli
Tuesday: Spaghetti ( I add Italian sausage)
Wednesday: Homemade chicken teriyaki stir (chicken, brown rice, snow peas, and broccoli)
Thursday: Sirloin steak with roasted asparagus and whole grain herb rice-a-roni
Friday: pizza
This is my Mac and Cheese recipe. http://lifeandtimesofmrss.blogspot.com/2010/01/mac-and-cheese.html
You can use whatever kind of cheese you would like which is what makes it so yummy! I normally use colby jack but moz is good in it too!
So far we my menu is as follows:
tonight we had toastadas
tomorrow we are having http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/03/sour-cream-noodle-bake/
and other than that I don't know what else we are going to have. I need to use food that is here so we stop wasting things. I'll probably do pancakes one night and maybe Cranberry Chicken on another night.
Well I'm no help...I'm doing a detox/cleanse this week so I'll be dining on pretty much a steady diet of vegetable broth
And even if I wasn't, we're in "clean out the cabinets" mode so we don't have as much stuff to move in a few weeks.
Monday: Chicken tacos
Tuesday: pasta shells with escarole and sundried tomatoes
Wednesday: leftovers
Thursday: Baked ziti (you could use mozarella for this!)
Friday:leftovers:
Sat: nothing, I'm solo
Sunday we had a terriyaki chicken stir fry from Trader Joe's
Last night we had spaghetti with turkey meat sauce
The rest of the week I'm not sure what we'll have. Maybe breakfast for dinner, meat balls, and pulled pork.
We're in "Clean out the cabinets" mode, too. So tonight it's lamb chops (which you don't eat) with barley "risotto" (which you might) that'll have diced mushrooms and um...whatever else is in our fridge.
and because I'm inspired by the book we're reading, one night I'm going to make this and dump it over pasta: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/traditional-chimichurri
I need to come up with a menu, too.
That looks interesting! Wonder if it would work as a tofu marinade...
