Monday - Chili form the freezer with bread machine whole grain rolls. This is the last of the bulk chili from the freezer and wanted to clear it out to make some room for frozen lasagnas that I have every intention of making. The rolls will be started on the dough cycle of my machine and allowed to rise and bake in the oven.
Tuesday - Spaghetti pie and sourdough bread garlic toast - Instead of eating the sourdough "as is", I decided to slice it up and serve as garlic toast.
Wednesday - Tuna casserole with whole grain pasta - You think I would be sick of this dish but I never tire of it...or is it because it's a cinch to prepare? probably both.
Thursday - rice and bean burritos - We are skipping supper due to a drill team competition that is being held in another town. I plan to make these at the beginning of the week to freeze for lunches etc.
Friday - take out - We have not had take out for quite some time now and think I may need a break by the end of the week. There is a local buffet restaurant that has a large salad bar and a do it yourself Sundae bar. We rarely go out to eat and could actually count on one hand the amount of times we do this in a year. This place is very kid friendly (AKA loud) so I think I am brave enough attempting to bring the kids out.
Saturday - pumpkin waffles. I am going to give canned pumpkin a second shot to redeem itself. Although it's not comparable to homemade pumpkin puree in my opinion, it still produces wonderful waffles for our breakfast theme supper night.
Sunday - chicken drumsticks with homemade sweet and sour sauce over soaked brown rice. Now I only have to remember to soak the brown rice overnight to ensure it will be ready for supper time.
Because last week I had appointment every day of the week and nothing other than maintaining my sanity was accomplished, I am taking this week to cook and bake to ensure the fridge is stocked. I plan to make tortillas for the burritos, granola and homemade yogurt as well as pancakes and whole grain soaked blender waffles for breakfast.
Lastly for all you local gals reading this blog remember that chicken legs are 99 cents /lb at Superstore (that means possibly half that in the AM). If you venture out at the crack of dawn be on the look out for the token male there making the mad dash for the poultry. The forecast calls for rain all week so instead of biking my husband is taking the car making it convenient to stop in before work...look out ladies he is a man on a mission.
