Two-Week April Menu

My March 2-week menu worked great, so I've made up one for April. For this in-between week, I'm finishing up a couple of things that didn't get made, but were already in the pantry/freezer (Chicken Korma, stir-fry, falafel, etc.).

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...

*indicate recipes I'll be posting when time allows (and if they're worthy of posting!)

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...)

• Thursday: Baked Fish*, spinach orzo,* sweet potatoes
