Menu Plan Monday - the family visit week

December 7th, 2008

As I write this on Sunday morning, we’ve got the cousins here with us, and I’m making sausage muffins for breakfast. These are some of my very favorite muffins, and I’m thinking I’ll make another batch later in the week and freeze them for next weekend.

Mike’s dad and his sweet wife are coming to visit next weekend, and they’ll arrive Saturday afternoon, hopefully after Mike is finished with his winter commencement. Muffins would be the perfect, easy Sunday morning breakfast. Add a little fresh fruit, and badda-bing, breakfast!

So… here we go… this week’s menu…

Sunday - Breakfast - sausage muffins … Lunch - turkey burgers … Dinner - leftover night with cheesy biscuits (come on, now, you’ve gotta have something to make leftovers better)

Monday - Omlets (for the boys) and biscuits with ham … apple slices

Tuesday - Chicken Cordon Bleu Pinwheels

Smoosh chicken tenders between two pieces of wax paper. Sprinkle with seasoning. Place one thin slice of ham and one thin slice of cheese (mozz or swiss) and roll up. Skewer to hold shape. (I sometimes slip in a piece of spinach. Ninja veggies, remember?) Bake at 350 till chicken is done through. Serve with brown rice.

Wednesday -Tapas Night - We’re going to have cheesy fondue (with carrots and broccoli and bread) and Veggie Pizza Minis. I’m going to have the kids help with both.

Thursday -Turkey Club Wraps (from the Hungry Girl cookbook) with fruit salad on the side

Friday -Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken Skewers (again, the HG cookbook) … served over couscous.

Saturday -breakfast - just me and the kids - donuts … lunch - just me and the kids - sandwiches … dinner - everyone! Mike’s going to smoke a couple of pork roasts, and I’ll make the sides. Most likely, we’ll have glazed carrots (I’m very good at those.) and cheesy mashed potatoes and marshmallowy sweet potatoes. For Hayden, I’m going to make a red velvet cake for dessert.
