Largely made last week's meal plan.
This week, it's all about the cheap protein - ham. I don't love it, but for 99 cents/lb, I can't avoid making it. Kids got a treat yesterday with Red Baron pizzas on sale for the 1st time in forever (if I ever buy pizza, it's always made the same day b/c my freezer is not big enough to store them). Here's the plan...
Sunday - Red Baron Pizza, German-style coleslaw (apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, raw honey, olive oil, s&p), raspberries
Monday - Crockpot ham, bakery french bread, roasted butternut squash, more raspberries
Tuesday - Ham part 2 (we'll see how much is left to decide what gets made), roasted potatoes, roasted broccoli, blackberries and red papaya
Wednesday - Lemon "butter" garlic shrimp, cous cous, cucumber avocado salad, more papaya with orange juice and bananas
Thursday - Steak tacos (this is the one meal I failed to make again, so let's try again with a Mexican concept), black beans, clementines
Friday - Last Church Soup dinner - Bringing top 9 allergy free Roasted Tomato and Bell Pepper soup, vanilla cupcakes, and fruit
Saturday - Birthday meal request at Five Guys
Update - ham went THREE days, so Ham Part 2 was a Germanesque pasta (ham, almost french onion soup style onions, cabbage, wild garlic, nutritional yeast (parm was the original recipe) and beef broth with s&p - it was surprisingly good). Had roasted broccoli and grapes with it.
Part 3 was ham sandwiches on fresh sour dough biscuits (kid made) with a ham bone lentil soup with veg. Made a 4 veg salad with it.
Now, I'm good for ham for the spring. Completely. Everything was good and tasted different, but there's only so much you can avoid that your palette still is eating ham 3 days in a row.
Today, we're finally doing the old steak - gonna do a take on salisbury sauce (b/c spouse ate no mushrooms in his lunches so I have baby bella and button), but with red wine and rice milk vs beef broth and dairy...I'm gonna mash or roast potatoes (good with gravy) and roast off the last of our cabbage.
