Menu Plan Monday - the brand new year one
I can hardly believe this is the last week of 2008. 
Clearly, I’m getting old because it all seemed to pass so quickly. I’d like to say I’m planning a big, special week of foods. But I’m not. I’m planning lazy, Crock-pot week.
I’ll be at work during the week, except for Thursday, but Mike and the kids will be at home. They’ll have cinnamon rolls and such for breakfast and sandwiches or turkey dogs for lunch. We’ll make big batch items this week while they’re home and can help… put those in the freezer & we’re good to go for a week or so when we’re all at work and school.
One of the nicest things about Florida living - in my opinion - is the fact that I have big, beautiful, fresh strawberries in December. I bought a half a flat this afternoon, so we’ll be eating strawberries on and in everything for a while.
Sunday - breakfast - hash browns, eggs, sausage, biscuits … lunch - whatever can be found in the fridge… dinner - Pesto Turkey Burgers with swiss cheese and tater tots… fruit salad on the side (fresh melon, strawberries and bananas)
Monday - fried catfish and hush puppies (I’m not usually a fried girl, but the boys requested this. Paula Deen gave me the recipe.) I’ll serve raw carrots and cucumbers to try to balance out the fried stuff.
Tuesday -red beans and rice (in the crock-pot … makes a ton… I’ll put at least half in the freezer) Eliza’s not much on beans, so she’ll have sausage and rice, I’m sure.
Wednesday - pizza (our annual New Year’s Eve dinner)
Thursday - breakfast - French toast … lunch -
Hayden and Hannah will be joining us for the weekend, so I’ll be trying to find recipes that everyone will like.
Friday - Parmesan chicken (pg. 18 Fix-it and Forget-it Lightly) with brown rice and steamed veggies … banana pudding for dessert
Saturday - breakfast - pancakes… lunch - quesadillas … dinner - taco soup
Sunday - breakfast - Monkey bread … lunch - turkey burgers … dinner - roast beef with winter veggies
New recipe count… 2 - fried catfish, hush puppies

Fried catfish… yum!
Ok, confessions, I hate fried fish. I convinced the boys to go grilled, and it was lovely. Of course, my allergy-riddled son had an allergic reaction later in the evening, but I can’t tell if it was the fish or the entire cantelope he ate before dinner. Again, I’m going to buy stock in Benadryl.
