Menu Plans

(today's stellar lunch: Lipton Chicken noodle soup

and canned pears)

After a craptacular* week of eating (Paul was in Toronto all week)

I have decided to step it up a notch next week.

I am always so hungry when he gets back from these long trips.

My plans may be rather ambitious but

what the heck? If we are going to have

freezing cold weather, I'll have plenty of time for cooking

now won't I?

Saturday: Wasabi Salmon, Brown butter brown rice and roasted broccoli

Sunday: Barbeque Ribs, Roasted Potatoes, homemade brown beans and veggies and dip

Monday: Kung Pao Chicken, Singapore Noodles and egg rolls

Tuesday: Beef Stew and Biscuits

Wednesday: Crispy Cod with oven fries and coleslaw

Thursday: Chicken and black bean burritos and leaf salad

Friday: Grilled Beef tenderloin steak, Parmesan popovers and Brussels sprouts creole.

And for lunch, in no particular order

Chipotle Sweet potato soup with bacon and cheese muffins

Borscht

Tom Yum Soup (chick and shrimp in coconut broth)

Tuna melts

I love soup, as you can plainly see.You may also see that we are NOT vegetarians.
Not even close.
 I may not make all of those soups this week

but if I do, our elderly neighbors across the street

will be the recipients of fresh homemade soup

at least a couple of times next week.

So you can think of me, slaving away in the kitchen

(which is actually a rather zen experience for me)

in addition to all of the other tasks

Homeschooling Moms have to do each and every day.

*craptacular : kind of crappy, less than spectacular
