Menu Plan Monday - The Last Full Week in October

 
Caprice Skewers - a cherry tomato, a basil leaf and a cube of mozzarella on a toothpick.  Yum!

I'm really having a hard time believing that we're heading into the last full week in October! Things have been crazy busy around here and we're finally through Ordination (it was wonderful!) and settling into a new routine around here.  My parents have been here for almost 3 weeks and will be heading back to their home on Wednesday.  They will return mid-December to celebrate Christmas with us.

This is the week of leftovers from the Ordination - we had a ton of food leftover.  We still have a ton of veggies leftover from the garden and we're still picking tomatoes and strawberries - the two plants that shouldn't be doing well after the frost!   I'm not complaining, mind you.  Just a wee bit puzzled.

Anyway, here's what we're eating this week:

Sunday, October 23:
   Breakfast: Leftover Coffee Cake and Fruit
   Lunch: Buns, Pulled leftover Chicken, Leftover Coleslaw and Sliced Veggies
   Snack: Leftover cheesecake
   Dinner: Whatever we scavenged from the fridge:  Leftover chicken and coleslaw, cut veggies, fruit, yogurt, and bread

Monday, October 24:
   Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs, French Toast (made with leftover French bread)
   Lunch: Leftover chicken on leftover tossed salad
   Snack:  Crackers
   Dinner: Leftover Chicken, Coleslaw, Cucumbers, and Bread

Tuesday, October 25:
   Breakfast: Leftover Coffee Cake, Smoothies made with leftover fruit
   Lunch: Pulled leftover chicken, leftover buns and leftover coleslaw
   Snack: Yogurt
   Dinner: Out to celebrate the last night before Mom and Dad leave (Dad's treat)

Wednesday, October 26:
   Breakfast: Oatmeal Muffins, Bananas
   Lunch: Leftover chicken on Tossed salad
   Snack: Yogurt
   Dinner: At a church function

Thursday, October 27:
    Breakfast: Oatmeal with Almonds and Craisins
    Lunch: Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and Bread
    Snack: Cut Veggies
    Dinner: Chicken and Veggie Stir Fry, Rice, Cantaloupe

Friday, October 28, 2016
   Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs, Smoothies
   Lunch: Leftover stir Fry
   Snack: Cantaloupe
   Dinner: Homemade Pizza and Breadsticks

Saturday, October 29, 2016:
   Brunch:  Biscuit Twists, Bacon, Cantaloupe-Grape-Apple Salad
   Snack: Homemade Soft Pretzels
   Dinner: Perfect Potato Soup, Homemade Bread, Cantaloupe

I'm hoping we can eat all the leftovers we have in our fridge before things go bad.  We did freeze a ton of chicken for later use.

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
