Well here we are again - Sunday. As I type my daughter, our little girl is saying she would like it if we made beef stir fry. Well that means 3 of us, so it is on the menu. (If three will eat, the other can have toast.)
Last week was about a B. For the most part we followed, but mostly because hubby was willing to make up for my lazy attitude. It did take us 3 trips to the store and 1 to the butcher which is 2 trips more than were planned. Also my bread maker broke. Right between loaves 1 and 2 in preparing for guests. Well the best mixer recipe I had makes two loaves. Guess I get to try that freezing thing after all. No cinnamon rolls, but pancakes make a nice substitute. Make your own sandwich bar was easy to put together and fit everyone's needs. Meatballs, pasta, and both red and white sauces all passed separately is my new group meal. Went over very well, and most part took in at least some salad. We did not use the roast, as my sister's family headed out early to drive slow on icy roads and with daylight savings time the vision I had of myself getting up and prepping a roast was just not realistic. Off to a burger joint we went. So we will start the week with a roast in the crock pot. We do have a nice bit of fruit left, so that will be an add on to many meals throughout the week.
Sunday evening: I am bringing Thai food from a local restaurant to a friend that is in need of meals, so we will have Thai too. Also I have a mommy event that I need to bring a snack too. Fresh guacamole and chips will be my item.
Monday: Roast with root veggies. The boy has a concert so we need to eat before that. Perfect day to put a roast in the crock pot with some potatoes and carrots.
Tuesday: Fish and green beans. The kid's swimming has ended, but I still want to keep up my 7 pm Yoga class. Maybe I can get them all to come to the gym too. White fish with lemon Caper sauce on the side and green beans with almonds and honey. After the gym (just in case no one ate the first offering) there can be a snack.
Wednesday: Soup Supper. Piano and Soup Supper. I am currently not signed up for anything. So unless there is an email request. I am getting by for a few bucks. I know this wasn't the primary thing saint Peter had in mind for church, but is sure is a nice part of it.
Thursday: Beef stir fry. Cello lesson, 1 hour break, then boy scouts for the boy. The girl and I have signed up for a Community Ed class starting the same time as boy scouts but is a bit more of a drive. I will pre-make the rice and chop the veggies on Wednesday. Drop the boy off at lessons and head back to cook. Hubby will pick him up at 6. By 6:15 the group all sits down to a nice meal. At 6:35 the girl and I head out. This leaves the boys to clean up before they take off for scouts which is much closer to home.
Friday: Mushroom Risotto with salad. We are hoping to take in the High School Variety show. So eating on the early side, but a nice 2 hour piece of time to cook and eat. That should be lovely. I don't expect the risotto to go over with anyone under 20, but sometimes the boy surprises me. The girl will eat salad. She eats a lot of salad.
Saturday: Taco lunch & Shepherd's pie. Hubby will put together lunch (using 1/2 of the pound of hamburger) while I'm away eating a lovely brunch not feeling one bit sad about missing tacos. We have some frozen mashed potatoes that need used up so that will pair with the remaining 1/2 pound of beef and any random veggies to be found. I still have a spare pie crust (they come in a 4 pack) from the quiche last week.
Sunday: (St. Patrick's day) Green pancakes breakfast, Salad & ham for lunch. So far only church in the morning. Realizing I simply must figure out more times to hit the gym in week. Saturday and Sunday need to become part of the equation, as well as another weeknight.
On to the list (I need to figure out how to put a sound bite in so the list can have doom filled theme music).
Salad greens ( romaine will do -2 of the 3 packs)
apples
tomato
broccoli
pea pods if they look good.
darker mushrooms whatever looks good
White fish
ham small
sandwich meat
taco shells
Slivered almonds
brown sugar
baking powder
Wish me luck
