Weekly Menu

I had to do the menu Saturday due to excessive volunteer work and timing on Sunday just wouldn't have worked out. Transitioning from Winter to Summer fare is always hard, because I'm a leftover cook and fresh foods typically don't last as long as I need them to.

Monday: Jambalaya in the crock pot. DH can eat this while he's home all week. We ate until we were stuffed and there's still three quarts in the fridge for later. (Bonus; Frozen Shrimp comes in a 2 lb bag, only 1 lb goes in the Jambalaya. That leaves me 1 lb to toss on the Grill this weekend!)
Tuesday: Goulash. We ate something Kiddo hates last night, so tonight is his favorite. this will also leave lots of leftovers and is good cold. I'll post that recipe this weekend.
Wednesday: Spinach and Leek Soup. Very nice Summer Soup. Very light, and will provide leftovers.
Thursday: I am slipping out of work early so I can hit the PS and try out my new skates. Afterwards, Tuna Salad Sandwiches. We should get home by 8pm.
Friday: This is payoff night. Kiddo and I can reheat whatever we want, and then hurry out to hit the Ice until 9pm. (And he wants to stop at the Dominick's on the way home for Cookie Crisp. Done.)

I don't cook at all on the weekend. There's lots leftover to reheat and we usually are on the road for lunch.

I try to make menu choices segue into each other for the following week, so ingredients don't get abandoned. Last week's pasta that didn't get cooked goes into the Goulash this week. Lots of rotation goes on in my kitchen.

I had a thought to paint a skating Snoopy on Kiddo's Skate bag. He definitely wants that! So, no more boring black bag. I'll hit the craft store for fabric paint.
