Menu Plan Mondays

I pulled out the book, Gatherings, for this week and I am overdosing on recipes.  I found this review of the book, if you would like to know more about it.

I have decided Tuesday is Meat Day.  I see that my husband really enjoys meat, on occasion and I love seeing him happy.

Here goes:

Sunday — Large Shells stuffed with Saucy Meat and Zucchini and Tomato Saute

Monday — Tangy Oriental Noodles with Savory Roasted Winter Vegetables

Tuesday —Beef with Cashews with  Israeli Couscous Salad

Wednesday —- Cheesy Potato Dish

Thursday — “Nutella” Tartine (Pure indulgence)

Friday — Melt in Your Mouth Salmon with Three Pepper Pasta Salad

Menu Plan Monday – Paula Deen

I realized this week that I have not come to terms with not having meat at the evening meal.  It is not because I want meat.  It is because, it is like a meal without a main dish.  It is composed of all sides.  Realistically, there is nothing wrong with that.  It just doesn’t fit like a glove.

As, I am preparing this week’s menus from Paula Deen, that feeling keeps coming over me.  It is sort of an empty feeling.  This is an emotional reaction, I realize but it bothers me.  I am not running to have meat despite this.  I do have to get over it.

I received Paula Deen’s magazine and decided to cook from it, right away, so it would not become another magazine, waiting to be used.

Sunday – leftovers

Monday —- Brown Rice with Pesto Medley

Tuesday —-  Skillet Spaghetti Squash with Harvest Salad with Sweet Dijon Vinaigrette

Wednesday —- Orange Teriyaki Stir Fry and Loaded Potato Casserole

Thursday —- Turkey and Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie

Friday —- Festive Roasted Vegetables, Apple Brown Rice, Chicken

Saturday —- Breakfast Dinner Frittata

Menu Plan Monday

This week is Ina Garten week.  Finding recipes was not as easy as I thought.  Last week with Emeril, I had too many in a short time.  BTW, I think, I made all the recipes in last week’s plan except for the black bean one.  With the hurricane on it way, one night just got too messed up.

I know Ina has fabulous recipes but they just were not speaking to me, tonight.

Sunday —- Baked Potato Stuffed with Chicken and Barbecue Sauce

Monday —– Challah French Toast

Tuesday  —–  Potato Gratin and Roasted  Vegetables

Wednesday —–Summer Garden Pasta with Scalloped Tomatoes

Thursday —–  Indian Spiced Salmon

Friday —– Lemon Chicken Breast
