Menu Plan Monday - All New, All the Time

September 21st, 2008

Ok, I’m tired of the meals we’re having, so I’m going to make all new things all week. I’m also going to try to add more out in the open veggies (as opposed to the sneaky kind the kids don’t know they’re eating). We’ll see how it goes. (My apologies to Org Junkie… I had already made my menu when I discovered it was family favorites week. Oops.)

Sunday -Bacon Roasted Chicken (thanks to All Recipes.com) with mashed potatoes and fruit salad

Monday -Brinner - Sausage and Bacon Kabobs (care of Sandra Lee @ Food Network) with hash browns

Tuesday - Prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts (from this month’s Real Simple magazine) with Yummy Carrots and green salad (which will be a challenge as my kids HATE salad).

Yummy Carrots — baby carrots, butter, brown sugar, salt, pepper

Add all ingredients in a pan and simmer till the carrots are soft. Right before serving, turn the heat up to reduce the liquids. It’ll turn into a sweet glaze.

Wednesday -time to get my hair colored - Mike & the kids will have leftovers

Thursday - Turkey Fried Rice (an adaptation of a recipe from “The Dinner Doctor” cookbook - lots of veggies and leftover turkey from the freezer)

Friday - dinner out with Chuck, Stacy & the kids for Mike’s birthday (Sunday). After dinner, the kids are going to spend the weekend with the cousins.
