Here is the plan for the week:
MONDAY: Baked Potato Soup, Salad
TUESDAY: Pork Roast with Apples (slow cooker recipe from Woman’s Day- October)
WEDNESDAY: Beef Roast with Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
THURSDAY: Heirloom Tomato and Goat Cheese Tart with Green Salad (this is a delicious recipe and I add a tiny bit of herbed cream cheese as well. I cheat and use pie crust so it is extremely fast.)
FRIDAY: Grilled Steak with Sweet Corn (I bought 10 ears a few weeks ago and grilled them and then cut off the corn and froze it so we have about 3 meals worth in the freezer that just needs to be heated up)
SATURDAY: Sun Dried Tomato and Feta Chicken Penne Pasta and Salad (we got free samples of a seasoning packet for this on our paper today. Looks good!)
SUNDAY: Homemade calzones
AND- for dessert Blackberry Cobbler. Yummy!
I also made a big batch of egg sandwiches for quick breakfast this week ( they just go in the freezer and then I micro for a minute and they are ready)- which we will have with melon. (Just cut up the melon we had delivered last week).
I also have leftover potato soup for lunch and I made a few black bean and whole grain rice burritos. I make the rice in advance and prep the beans. Then I can just warm them up with a little cheese and lunch is 60 seconds away.
That tart sounds DIVINE!!! I have a pie crust in the freezer and tons of garden tomatoes, so this is going to be made SOON! Thanks!!
Ok Amy let me know how you like it 🙂 I could have seriously eaten it all myself.
What is your recipe for the egg sandwiches? They sound good and in the morning we really could use something fast that goes in the microwave.
Thanks
Sat dinner sound so good. Is there any way you can post the recipe? I am alway looking for new idea for dinners.
I also got the Lawry’s sample, so I will be making your Saturday dinner this week, with my almost free chicken from Raleys. I can’t wait, it sounds sooo yummy! Thanks for your menu ideas. You have finally inspired me to plan my meals, instead of winging it every night.
See…I’m not the only one who loves your menu plans!!! 😉
I would also love your recipe for your baked potato soup:)
I love the tips for quick meals! I really like the idea of prepping the rice in advance. THANKS!!
Jaime- I used one from Food Network from Cooking with the Neelys. I don’t think I’d make it again- it isn’t very good.
Shelly- it is the lazy man’s breakfast I think. Well not lazy- just busy.
So I use whatever we have- english muffins, those flat bread round sandwich things, or even hamburger buns. I make a huge batch of scrambled eggs and add whatever I feel like. Sometimes black beans, red peppers, cheeses, whatever I have on hand. I wait for the eggs to cool and then I put them on the bun. This week I just did plain scrambled eggs with chopped up red peppers. Then I put a slice of swiss and a slice of cheddar on the buns. Then I wrap tightly in saran and put in a freezer bag. I find they are good for about 4 days- 1 week and then the eggs get gummy.
I micro them in the morning for maybe 1 minute until the eggs are hot and that is it 🙂
