Considerations for April:
- cheap beef! (thanks to my friend Alicia and some deals at Target she noticed)
- pork loin on hand (can be left in freezer in case ham goes on big-time sale around Easter)
- twins' birthday
- Easter
- need to use up freezer supplies so we can defrost that baby!
- trying to make meat stretch--partly for health reasons; you'll notice that on a big meat-entree night, I usually have several sides so we're not tempted to fill up on tons of meat...
Week 1
- Monday: Pot Roast*, green beans, mashed potatoes, bread
- Tuesday: Tangy Roast Beef Sandwiches (using leftover roast beef), baked beans from scratch, fresh veggies/slaw/salad (Might change this to Roast Beef Salad and leftover bread...)
- Wednesday: Cowboy Pie* (with leftover baked beans), fruit salad, veggie of some sort
- Thursday: Baked Fish*, spinach orzo,* sweet potatoes
- Friday: Pasta with chicken (leftover from March roast chickens), pesto, and veggies
- Saturday: Tofu stir-fry*
- Sunday: Black bean/corn/tomato/chicken salad wraps* (lunch); breakfast for dinner
Week 2:
- Monday: Pork Roast, sweet potatoes, green veggie, bread
- Tuesday: Beef Daube* (like stew), noodles, green veggie
- Wednesday: Red Beans and Rice (w/sausage), fresh veggies
- Thursday: Indonesian vegetable platter (gado gado),* bread
- Friday: Pork with Broccoli and Noodles
- Saturday: Souvlaki (chicken or pork) in pitas, tabbouleh or Greek salad, fruit OR Chicken Satay*, rice, green veggie (salad, steamed, whatever)--depends on the mood; ingredients are very similar
- Sunday: Leftovers (lunch); breakfast for dinner
Lunches:
- leftovers straight up
- salad with leftover roast beef, gorgonzola, etc. on bed of greens
- pork sandwiches
- wraps with bean and rice dishes
- feta chicken salad (still using up leftover chicken!) in pitas
- Chick Pea Salad
- Mediterranean Chicken Salad*
