Meal Plan Monday- at Lisa's House

>> Monday, September 10, 2012

I sat down this weekend with a new to me cookbook and pulled out four new to me recipes. I tend to pick out 4 meals that are for sure and then the other 3 days fall back on basics like eggs or easy sandwiches or leftovers, so my menu plan is only for four nights.  I also don't decide which meal is for which might until I go to cook, and see how my day went.

Here's the four things we are going to try this week, all of them are from the cookbook A Flash in the Pan: Fast, Fabulous Recipes in a Single Skillet.

Chicken with sweet peppers and balsamic vinegar (p. 18) with noodles.
Red Curry chicken saute with coconut and lime (p.27) with Jasmine rice.
Salt and Pepper Cube steaks with smoky red onion (p.71) with mashed potatoes.
Tunisian eggplant and chickpea ragout (p. 150) with couscous, I think.

I'd love to see how you plan your meals for the week, if you do. Don't worry about it being on Monday or fully fleshed out, just let me know what you're thinking about making.

Tuesday lunch

>> Wednesday, February 24, 2010

I've kinda bailed on all of you lately, I apologize. Food and I are not such good friends at the moment. I am still eating though, and will try to get back into the groove!

Yesterday I had:

Tuna salad on toast with cheese and tomato (not nearly so good as I'd hoped)
plain Doritos
Dill pickle

Another sandwich- bologna, turkey, cheese, mayo and pickles on white bread. (We had 2 leftover kaiser rolls that no one will admit to eating, but they are GONE. Hm.)
Ritz cracker chips

For afternoon snacks I brought an orange and a Honeycrisp apple.

Wednesday, Lisa

Chicken, spinach, mushroom hot pocket (I did not notice any spinach, and I scraped out the 3 little bits of chicken. I think there was one or two mushrooms.)

Corn chips with cheese melted on them in the microwave.

10 minute nap that turned into 25 minutes.  FYI, when setting the alarm on your cell phone, be sure to pay attention to the AM and PM part. Ooops.

Monday, "salad", Lisa

>> Monday, January 25, 2010

This is where you all quit visiting the blog.

I made salad for lunch with:

coleslaw cabbage (no coleslaw dressing)
a bit of mayo and italian dressing
shredded cheese
black olives
carrots
green peas

It's... crunchy.

It's what I had, so I threw it together and hoped for the best. It's ok. Might not repeat it tho.

Sunday, Lumpia

>> Sunday, January 24, 2010

My sister in law is Filipino and one of the things she made for us when we went back home was Lumpia.  On Friday I got a wild hair that I wanted to try to make some myself so I googled up a recipe with a lot of favorable reviews and gave it a shot.

Since we live in South Dakota, I had to make do with phyllo dough for the wrappers, and they brown up REALLY fast, but otherwise it was a painless process.  Mike and I and the Bug loved them, the Pirate had chips and carrots.

This is the recipe we used. I think need time I'll try a potato version, but I'll definitely be doing this again!

Saturday, pizza buffet, Lisa

>> Saturday, January 23, 2010

Today we took the boys out for pizza buffet at a new restaurant. $8.50 for adults and $.50 a year for kids! The Bug ate for $.50!

I had two giant slices of pizza and a salad with everything good- egg, peas, cheese, bacon, blue cheese, little corn, chick peas, mmmmm.

It's called Beau Jo's, if you have one near you I recommend it!

Tuesday, Lisa

>> Tuesday, January 19, 2010

I had to run to the store on my lunch break so I picked up a sandwich from the deli.

They call it a Tuscan Chicken Sandwich and it has grilled chicken, crusty bread, slabs of marinated mozzarella, marinated artichoke, tomato, red onion and some oily vinegary sauce. Mmmmm.

And a wedge of laughing cow cheese, because of Janssen.
