Menu Plan Monday - Week of February 2, 2020

I snapped this photo and the accompanying recipe from a magazine at the Doctor's office a while back.  And then completely forgot about it!  I am thinking of making it for Easter this year - it looks lovely!

In some ways this is a quieter week than last; in other ways it is actually busier.  My commitments are back up to full steam now - all my classes are running and the February challenge started at Jazzercise.  The children have practice for theater as well as dance lessons.  John has Confirmation and some meetings for new employees at church.  I think we can figure it all out! 

I am still trying to plan our menus around the freezers first in an effort to clean out our deep freeze and defrost it before the summer produce starts to come in. We have a while before that happens so I think we can do it!

Here is what we are eating this week:

Sunday, February 2:
    Breakfast: Mango-Strawberry-Banana Smoothies
    Lunch: Waffles from the Freezer with Walnuts and Chokecherry Jam,  Grapefruit
    Dinner: "Smashed" Potatoes, Chips, and other treats for a friend's Super Bowl Party

    Breakfast: Eggs and Toast
    Lunch: Leftover Soup from the Freezer
    Snack: Nuts and Raisins
    Dinner: Vegetable Stir Fry with Noodles or Rice

    Dinner: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Carrots, Sliced Apples

Thursday, February 6:

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
