Menu Plan Monday: November 16-22, 2009
Here’s what we have on the menu this week:
Monday: Creamy Beef and Noodles (this was on my menu a couple weeks ago, but got bumped to later in the month…), salad or veggie
Tuesday: Whole chicken in the crock pot, sweet potatoes, salad or veggie
Wednesday: Curried Chickpeas with rice…and homemade Naan if I have time
Thursday: Shepherd’s Pie (I don’t really use a recipe for my shepherd’s pie. I start by making a roux using flour and butter, and then add beef broth. I season this (pepper, garlic, etc) and add to the ground beef. I then mix in whatever frozen veggie I feel like adding, and put this in the bottom of a baking dish. I then add a layer of (usually homemade) mashed potatoes, and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes until it looks bubbly!
Friday: Chicken Tortilla Soup (like this one, only with black beans too!)
Saturday: Date Night! (Kids will have something easy like spaghetti or frozen pizza)
Sunday: Salmon Patties and a salad or veggie
