Menu Plan Monday - Week of 6/3-6/9
So it's been awhile for my family and actually writing down a menu plan. A long time ago I explained how I roughly follow a "plan" each week in terms of what type of meat or theme I might have each evening for supper. Breakfast and Lunch are usually day-by-day, but all our meals mostly come from our kitchen.
I've been inspired by Skinny Mom's Kitchen to begin writing down a menu plan each week. (If you haven't checked out her blog yet, you should as it is really great!)
As you will see below, I list items that have been purchased locally or are Organic (some are both!)
Breakfast
Cereal, fruit
Organic plain yogurt with local strawberries and locally made granola
English muffin w/ peanut butter, banana
Homemade banana bread

Whole wheat tortilla w/ Organic local black beans w/ combination of some or all of the following: salsa, Organic grass-fed cheddar cheese, local tomatoes and/or organic plain yogurt, fruit

Green salad w/ local tomatoes, carrots and honey mustard dressing

Menu Plan Monday
In keeping with a more relaxed atmosphere at our house when it comes to menu planning, we will be eating this week based upon my general menu planning guidelines.
Symhome mom's take on Menu Planning:
Each day of the week has a specifically assigned type of food that will be served for supper:
Monday: Chicken or Vegetarian
Tuesday: Pork or Beef
Wednesday: Mexican
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Italian, Dinner Out
Saturday & Sunday: Anything goes - These meals generally require either more time in the kitchen or involve grilling.
I have multiple resources that I pull from for recipes including my cookbook full of recipes I've gathered over the years from various sources, several cookbooks, allrecipes.com online recipe box and favorite recipes which I track on my blog.
Menu Plan Monday - Gluten Free Recipes
The last few weeks I have taken a break from menu planning for multiple reasons. We've had a rough plan of what our meals would be, but not as detailed as I usually do.
I did do some cooking ahead this week, but sent the meals off to friends, one of which happens to have Celiac Disease. So, I ventured into the land of cooking Gluten Free. Hopefully I did okay, but it sure was challenging to find ingredients. The meals I prepared were gluten free and mostly organic.
Gluten Free Meals:
Mexican Casserole
Italian Casserole
Some of the Ingredients:
The Results:
For our friends who just had twins, I made a good ole standby casserole and homemade banana bread.
Baked Penne & Smoked Sausage Casserole
As for us, our Suppers will include:
Breakfast for dinner, fruit
Sweet & Sour Pork w/ Rice, fruit
Beef Tacos or some sort of Mexican Casserole, fruit
Homemade Pizza
Leftovers
Homemade macaroni & cheese, broccoli
