Meal planning, June 1 - 7, 2020
I am all out of words right now. I have plenty of emotions... anger, sadness, fear, grief... they are just that, feelings without words right now. At least not nice words. I can't even begin to imagine what my African-American friends are feeling right now.
It's probably just as well that I post my weekly menu plan; I can make a list. I'm back to weekly menu making and shopping now. The stores have had all that I wanted for two weeks now, so the need to create my menus backwards from what I was able to buy seems to be gone.
Monday, June 1
Tacos
As requested by multiple children. Even better, the children made the whole dinner themselves
Refried beans
Tuesday, June 2
Chicken Paprikash
An easy dinner in the crock pot since I will be gone over dinner time
Egg noodles
Salad
Wednesday, June 3
Green chicken curry
A family favorite
Fresh noodles
Dumplings
At least I think I have more in the freezer, I forgot to look
Thursday, June 4
Goat cheese and sun-dried tomato pasta
A new recipe I decided to try because I have both goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes from my new best friend, the wholesaler.
Garlic bread
Friday, June 5
Falafel sandwiches with yogurt sauce and lettuce and tomatoes
I want to try out a Patal Brothers store that opened not too far from us. I loved going to the Patal Bros. in Chicago. I'll pick-up some falafel mix when I'm there. The pita bread (all 24 packages) is in the freezer, once again from the wholesaler.
Yellow rice
Saturday, June 6
Garlic-chili bowls
These will have ground pork (I just bought a side of pork this past week), greens from the garden, and millet
Foccaccia
We made this a couple of weeks ago and it was wonderful
Sunday, June 7
(My birthday)
Stuffed spinach pizza
This is what I decided I wanted, and various family members agreed to make it.
Salad
