Menu Planning

This Week's Menu




The kids are all still sleeping so I’m trying to get this week’s menu planned before they get up.

I am completely embarrassed that I walked into my kitchen this morning and it is a DISASTER. Nothing was picked up or put away last night except for the lasagna that I put in the fridge before taking Monkey to bed.
Ugh...

Anyway, I got this notepad at one of the little boutique’s downtown and it is so handy!

I highly recommend it if you’re like me and are obsessed with office supplies and organization. Or also like me in that you just post your menu on your blog/computer and then can’t remember what you picked to make on a certain night so you have to grab the laptop and go to your own blog to find out what you’re having for dinner. Happy

So, on to this week’s menu!

Sunday: Birthday Celebration for Mom at SIL’s house
Monday: Pad Thai & Cucumber Salad (pad thai from Whole Foods Market cookbook, pg. 204)
Tuesday: Election Night Party (friends are coming over to watch coverage and drink lots of wine)
I’ll be making a lot of the recipes from Rachael Ray’s Election Night Bash party plan in her November magazine including campaign trail mix, bipartisan salad, Uncle Sammies,Elephant Ears & Donkey Tails for dessert)
Wednesday: Turkey Thyme Meatloaf Patties w/ Mashed Potatoes & Spinach
Thursday: Whole Wheat Pasta w/ Sweet Basil Pesto & Garlic Bread
Friday: Pizza Night (make your own)
Saturday: Lentil, Sausage & Rice Soup
