Menu Plan Monday - Week of June 26th, 2016

 
 
Hard to believe it's the end of June already.  I feel like summer hasn't really started yet and here it's almost July! 
 
We're eating a lot of salads this week - lettuce from the garden and lettuce, spinach, kale and Swiss chard from the CSA mean lots of greens to use up.  I'm totally fine with that! They're delicious!  We still working on emptying the upstairs freezer - it's taking a lot longer than we had anticipated and I think we're going to have to step up the game if we want to have the deep freeze fixed before we have all the produce in. 
 
So, with all of that, here's what we're eating this week:
 
 Sunday, June 26:
    Breakfast: Smoothies
    Lunch: Homemade Pizza and Breadsticks
    Snack: Popcorn
    Dinner: Baked Salmon, Rice, Strawberries and Blueberries 
 
Monday, June 27:
    Breakfast: Oatmeal with Craisins and Cashews
    Lunch: Tossed Salad with Leftover Salmon
    Snack: Yogurt
    Dinner: Baked Chicken, Roasted Potatoes, Strawberry-Blueberry-Banana Salad

    Snack: Yogurt
    Dinner: Pulled Pork in the Crockpot, Buns, Cut Veggies, Sliced Apples


Wednesday, June 29:
    Breakfast: Chai Spiced Oatmeal
    Lunch: Tossed Salad with Cashews, Strawberries, Blueberries and leftover Pork
    Snack: Yogurt
    Dinner: Potluck at Church: Bring Fruit Salad and/or Tossed Salad

Peas from my garden last summer.  We are cold and snowy with a lot of ice right now!  Not my favorite weather.  So, to cheer myself up I am starting to plan my garden for next summer!  I am hoping that I will be able to grow at least enough tomatoes and cutting flowers for both my parents (who are moving 1 1/2 blocks away from us in about 2 months - hurray!) and our house as well.   I am so grateful that we have 1/5 acre lot for our home that we can grow vegetables flowers and (currently) a single tree.  It makes me so happy and provides some very fresh produce for our family.  I love the physical act of gardening, both flowers and vegetables, and I love the taste of vegetables fresh from the garden.  A win-win in my book for sure! The name of the game this week is to eat up as much of the fresh stuff as we can so it's easy to move the refrigerator downstairs for our remodel.  They start knocking out walls and cutting holes in the outside of the house next week and we will need to

  A couple of lovely Christmas treats we received as a gift this Christmas! Yum! So, after publishing the menu last week John and I went through the freezer and refrigerator and decided that we better eat all the things that will be difficult or impossible to eat when we do not have an oven or stove top for a month or two.  That means last week's actual meals looked nothing like the menu!  That happens, I guess. With that in mind, here is what we're eating this week: Sunday, January 10:       Brunch: Cereal, Fruit and Toast       Snack: The last Christmas Cookies       Dinner: Perfect Potato Soup, Homemade Bread Monday, January 11:        Breakfast: Toast and Eggs        Lunch: Leftover Soup        Snack: Yogurt        Dinner: Beef Stir Fry, Rice, Orange and Grapefruit Wedges Tuesday, January 12:         Breakfast: Smoothies or Overnight Oatmeal         Lunch: Leftover Soup         Snack: Yogurt         Dinner: Fish Tacos, Fruit Wednesday, January 13:         Breakfast: Oatmeal

John's Birthday Dinner January 2020  This week started with John's Birthday - he loves crab legs and we typically have them for dinner on his birthday, as part of his birthday gift.  Here in the upper mid-west of the U.S. crab legs are usually on sale at this time of year, so it works out well.   We have so much produce in our freezers and refrigerator this week and we are trying to eat our cupboards down a bit so things are easier to store during the big part of our remodel.  Here is what we are eating this week: Sunday, January 3, John's Birthday:     Brunch: Smoothies, Oatmeal Muffins     Snack: Soft Pretzels     Dinner: Crab Legs, Green Beans Monday, January 4:       Breakfast:  Eggs and Toast      Lunch: Salad with Tuna      Snack: Yogurt      Dinner: Pork Chops, Cauliflower, Carrots Tuesday, January 5:      Breakfast: Oatmeal with Walnuts and Craisins      Lunch: Chicken Noodle Soup from the Freezer      Snack: Yogurt      Dinner: Chicken Lasagna, Green Beans Wednesda
