Menu Plan Monday - Week of January 6, 2019

My husband's 2nd favorite pizza was our dinner on his Birthday this past week.  YUM!  I typically make pizza at home, but for his birthday dinner, this was a wonderful treat.
Our first full week of 2019 this week and it includes a lot of activities already!  How did that happen?  Nothing like jumping in full swing.  Honestly, I am grateful that the children are enjoying school and their activities so much, even if it makes it a little crazy at times. 

We inventoried the  freezers and the pantry and put together the menus for the months of January and February from mainly what we have.  We still have squash from the garden that needs to be eaten and a fair amount of frozen produce as well.  We managed to stock up on a couple of types of meat this fall with Thanksgiving and Christmas sales, so that will be the meat we are eating currently. 

We have several events that we will be either stopping quick at home to eat, or eating in the car between events.  I dislike those nights, but sometimes the schedule dictates that we need to plan ahead and eat in the car.  So we will pack things that can stay warm in a thermos or don't require heating.

Here's what we're eating this week:

Sunday, January 6:
     Breakfast:  Toast with Peanut Butter, Banana-Berry Smoothies
     Lunch: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Cut Veggies, Sliced Apples
     Snack: Popcorn
     Dinner: Chicken Noodle Soup in the Crockpot, Homemade Bread

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
