Menu Plan Monday 11/9 – 11/15
I did not stick well to my plan last week. I ended up not getting my shopping all done for the things we needed. But on the plus side, I didn’t actually shop for anything that wasn’t on the plan either. We had pizza one night (mom was in town), and went out one night (had a birthday party to attend) and otherwise cooked from the pantry and freezer, so I can’t beat myself up. Too much.
Â
Monday:Â Â Â Shrimp with Remoulade, Pasta, Green Beans
Tuesday:Â Â Hearty Braised Chicken Legs from Daisy Martinez for the FNC Cooking Challenge, Rice, Broccoli
Wednesday: Soft Tacos (typical — flour tortilla, beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese, etc), Tortilla Chips, Lightened Up Guacamole
Thursday:  Roasted Salmon with Chili-Lime Sauce, Barley, Creamed Spinach
Friday:Â Â Butternut Squash, Sausage and Bow Ties, Green Salad, Fruit
Saturday: Dinner Out
Sunday:Â Spaghetti with Meatballs, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Green Salad, Garlic Bread
Â
For breakfasts we always have oatmeal, cold cereal, scrambled eggs, toast, freezer muffins, yogurt, cottage cheese and fruits to choose from. Â I also keep us stocked with lunch meats, cheeses, fruits, veggies, etc for bentos. Â Â Â Even when not specifically listed, I usually have a mixed greens salad and fruit available for dinner.

You are so organized … :o)
OK, I want to do the salmon with chili lime sauce, and the meatballs with roasted brussels sprouts…
Thanks for your note. If we had not lived in Vietnam for several years, our menu plan would probably not be so (occasionally) unusual. We do miss the amazing food there. I love your bentos, by the way. Lunches are something I agonize over, and now you’ve inspired me. My kids ALWAYS pick apart their sandwiches too!
Sounds like a terrific menu plan.
