Weekly Meal Plan 2/18/22 to 2/24/22: Feeding the Family

 What day is this?  Tuesday?  I'm all confused because of the day off for Presidents Day.  Yesterday seemed like Sunday, and today seems like Monday.  I'm sure by Friday I'll get it all figured out.

This week's meal plan is ever changing.  The meals are the same, but they are getting shifted around thanks to an ever-changing schedule.

Friday:  Baked Salmon, veggies, and tater tots

Saturday:  Chili, rolls

Sunday:  Red and White Mostaccioli from The Food Nanny, rolls

Monday:  Mediterranean Turkey Burgers from Budget Bytes, cucumber salad

Tuesday:  Mexican Pizzas

Wednesday:  Saucy Hungarian Red Potato Goulash from The Cozy Apron 

Thursday:  Cleanup day or Slow Cooker Sticky Garlic Chicken from Six Sisters Stuff

I also made the Potato Leek soup for this week.  It's perfect for lunch.  The recipe can be found in Twelve Months of Monastery Soups Cookbook.  If you love soups like I do, this cookbook is the BEST.

Wednesday March 2nd begins Lent.  We usually do meatless Mondays AND meatless Fridays during Lent.  I also try to do fewer complex meals during Lent.  I have a new cookbook on the way, and I can't wait to see how the recipes are.  But I do have a meal plan for next week already put together.  Ash Wednesday is strict fast and abstinence, so that meal will be meatless and very basic.  The boys need their protein though, so they will probably have fish to go along with their meal.  We are supposed to get hit with snow toward the end of the week, so I have a Walmart pick up scheduled for Wednesday.  

Do you have any plans for Lent??

Have a blessed week!

Menu Plan Monday: February 15, 2021

 Happy Monday!  I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.  This weeks menu got turned around a little bit due to the Hubby surprising me with sushi on Saturday night.  I've been wanting sushi for weeks, and he thought that it would make a good Valentine's Day surprise.  And it did.

Friday:  gluten free pasta with nut free pesto; rolls

Saturday:  Sushi and charcuterie (should have been beef stew)

Sunday:  Steak, au gratin potatoes, streamed asparagus

Monday:  Beef Stew - instead of the instapot, I'll be using my new slow cooker.

Tuesday: Shrove Tuesday :  Pancakes, home fries, and bacon (I also ordered some paczki from a local bakery).  It's sure to be a FAT Tuesday.

Wednesday:  Ash Wednesday - The beginning of Lent  This is a day of strict fast and abstinence.  
Dinner only:  French Lentil Soup from Twelve Months of Monastery Soups: A Cookbook

Thursday:  Poor Man's Meal from Great Depression Cooking with Clara on YouTube  You can also find this recipe in Clara's Kitchen: Wisdom, Memories, and Recipes from The Great Depression

Breakfast/Lunch/Extras:

Egg Cups:  I made some with whole eggs and some with egg whites only

Sweet Pepper salad (similar to this one).  I used a recipe from Trim Healthy Table Cook Book

Happy Eating!  Have a wonderful and blessed week.
