Menu of the Week: August 27

[Csara]

I’ve made a realistic goal for myself and that is to plan 4 nights of cooking per week. The other 3 nights we either go out, get take out, eat leftovers, or just whatever is around the house. This is what works for us. I usually do our menu plan on Sundays, compile a shopping list and go to the grocery store on Monday morning. I normally make at least one more trip to the store during the week, but I get all the basics and ingredients for our dinners. Here is the plan for this week:

Monday

* bacon wrapped turkey burgers with blue cheese sauce
* white bean salad with mandarin oranges and chives

Tuesday

* asian style tilapia
* mashed potatoes
* asian salad

Wednesday

* chicken and mushroom quesadillas
* mixed green salad

Thursday

* chicken curry with chickpeas and tomatoes
* rice
* steamed zucchini

Weekend

* take out, left overs, out to dinner

What’s the plan at your house this week?

I just wanted to post that my menu last week was amazing!! Everything I made was a new recipe and they were all fantastic!! Well, the only change was that instead of making the chicken and mushroom quesadillas, I made the chicken taco salad that I tried the week before. It was so good, I decided to do a repeat. But anyway, everything else was something we had never tried before and they were all absolutely delicious! Hope this week is just as good.
