Menu Plan Monday

August 4th, 2008

Easy-peasy. That’s the name of the game this week in our house, food-wise. I’m looking for quick and easy recipes that will give us healthy but yummy options. We’ve made Monday night a weekly Brinner night (but I’m getting my hair colored tonight, which is more important than Brinner, so we’ll rearrange this week a bit), and I’m going to add one meatless meal a week in an effort to save a little cash. We just won’t tell anyone else in the family, ok? Shhhh.

Sunday - Fiesta Stack-ups -

Brown ground turkey with onions, bell peppers and garlic. Add taco seasoning, Ranch beans, crushed tomatoes and V8 (a sneaky way to add veggies). Serve over rice and chips. Top with taco toppings. Or serve over chips for nachos. Yummo.

Monday -Crazy Dinner - whatever you can find that sounds good.

Tuesday - Veggie pasta (Whatever fresh veggies we have on hand sauted in a little olive oil with peppers and onions and garlic… a little lime juice & tossed with pasta).

Wednesday - Brinner - I’m thinking a hash brown pizza/casserole sort of thing. Hash browns, sausage, bell peppers, onions, eggs. Maybe a little chopped broccoli. Fresh fruit on the side (That’s one of my favorite things about Florida! There’s always great fresh fruits at the market.).

Thursday - fettucini with corn and bacon

Friday - WE’RE GOING TO THE BEACH!!!

    Great menu! Enjoy your day at the beach!

    We’re actually getting an entire weekend at the beach. I can hardly wait! And Eliza’s been packed with her suitcases by the front door since last Thursday!

    Sunday night sounds so good. HH doesn’t eat rice, though. Do you know how much that hinders my menu planning?! I mean, seriously, who doesn’t eat rice?

    No rice?! I have no idea how we’d make it. Rice is my all-time fallback option. Make a little brown rice (healthy) and mix it with whatever leftovers I have & voila! dinner. Sheesh. No rice?
