Again, another great looking menu.
Last week here at La Ferme Bon Rea, we somehow didn’t end up cooking our weekly menu. We ended up with two unplanned nights out for dinner, and ended up eating a lot of leftovers. So, three of my meals from last week are transferring to this week. Though, I have to say, we are eating so much more of the food in our fridge and a lot less is going to waste, which is a great improvement.
So, here’s this week’s plans:
M: French Onion Soup Stuffed Meatloaf with salad and steamed veggies (carry-over from last week)
T: Chicken and Potatoes w/Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce w/salad (another carry-over)
W: Chimchurri Chicken & Potatoes w/ Cesar Salad (last carry-over)
T: Thai Green Curry Meatballs w/rice & salad
F: Pizza night (kids, leftovers mom & dad?)
S: Smoked beef roast with garlic mushrooms and salad
S: Dinner Out – Buddy’s 60th Birthday party.
The onions are camelizing on the stove right now and I’m going to make the meatloaf so it’s ready to pop in the oven when the hubby and boy-child get home from work.
First-timer here. Love the menu ideas, thank you!
Su – husband cooks (Thai food: gra pow)
M – crispy chicken wraps & sweet potato fries
Tu – quinoa stuffed peppers
W – mini turkey meatloaves & green beans
Th – fusilli with spinach pesto
F – homemade pizza
Sa – out
