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

Anything with curry and chickpeas has to be delicious! I will have to try that one out!! Never thought to make my own Naan. Do you have a good recipe for that?

Here’s the recipe I use (linked to the printer-friendly page because the regular view isn’t coming up for some reason): http://allrecipes.com/Recipe-Tools/Print/Recipe.aspx?RecipeID=14565&servings=14&Format=Full
I found the video on this site to be helpful, though I didn’t like the taste of her recipe as well: http://www.manjulaskitchen.com/2007/05/22/naan-bread/
It’s still not quite as good as restaurant quality naan, but much cheaper!
