Monday meal plan: What's on your menu?

Posted: January 7

What meals are you planning for the week? We are having chicken alfredo, teriyaki tofu and veggies, omelets and turkey bacon, veggie chicken sandwiches and more!

Meatless Monday!

Veggie chicken sandwiches on honey wheat bread with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, bread & butter pickles, light mayo and cheese. (Used $1.50/1 Morningstar veggie burger coupon doubled at HT on Sunday. Coupon printed from Kelloggsfamilyrewards.com when you cash in 1000 points)

Sweet potato fries

Peas

I am also making banana bread tonight so I am guessing that everyone will want some for dessert. The kids love taking it to school in their lunches and it’s so easy to make.You can find the recipe I use in the WRAL Recipe Database link in the box above. Just search for Banana Bread.

Tuesday - Breakfast for dinner!

Omelets (using eggs from HT e-Vic deal last Saturday)

Turkey bacon

Clementines

Wednesday

Pizza night using an HT wheat crust and pasta sauce from the Classico deal at HT this week.

Salad

Thursday

Teriyaki tofu and vegetables

Rice

Friday

Chicken Alfredo with rotini pasta (using light Classico alfredo pasta sauce from HT deal and Dreamfields pasta from HT Super Doubles and $1.97/lb chicken breast that was on sale at Lowes Foods a couple weeks ago)

Salad

Only have today's so far. Roasted Italian sausage, salad, and cauliflower topped with bread crumbs, garlic, parm, evoo and run under the broiler ever so quickly just to brown.

The best part will be dessert. I made my "2009 Pneumonia Shortbread", so called because I made with when I had pneumonia, but was dying for something sweet. It was so easy, it took no effort even as sick as I was. It is a basic Scottish shortbread, but done in the stand mixer, made with butter, 10X sugar, flour, salt. The twist is I top it with demera sugar before baking. YUM!! :)

Thanks for sharing everyone! I am getting hungry reading all your menus.

Love the name Dump Soup, Chipper.

And your pneumonia shortbread sounds great - despite the name. :-)

kat - I think we may have to have spinach and feta omelets as well. Thanks for the idea.

Since we have leftover chicken (which I braised and then put in a good stock, so we have stock with onions and stuff to make into gravey) and brocoli, I told the boys I would make chicken pot pie with the leftovers for tonight (which since I make individual sizes will probably be lunch tomorrow for me too). My youngest has asked that I make the swedish mealballs again that we had last week so we will probably do that (I think he just likes the Sister Schuberts Hawaiian rolls).I am not sure what else yet.
