Menu Plan for the Week
ByThank you so much for being understanding about my taking a bit of time off last week from “normal blogging”. I had a VERY productive week. I met the deadlines for the extra writing I was doing…made significant progress on couple of ebooks I’ve been working on (for like, over a year) and I fine-tuned the new ideas I wanted to unleash for you. I’m really looking forward to hearing your ideas for The little Green Project…and I can’t wait to start sharing some High Five Recipes!
And now, I’m energized and ready to start a new week. Here’s what we’ll be eating this week:
Sunday, March 1
Oatmeal, toast
Fundraising dinner for Youth Missions
Oven mac and cheese, steamed carrots
Monday, March 2
Simple sourdough pancakes
Popcorn chicken, strawberry-peach slushies
Italian roast wraps, tossed salad
Tuesday, March 3
Fried eggs on toast, clementines
Melting snowflakes, pears
Steak, baked potatoes, green beans
Wednesday, March 4
Pumpkin bread, bananas
Stir fried rice and veggies (with chicken)
Shepherd’s pie
Thursday, March 5
Sourdough biscuits, applesauce
Grilled cheese sandwiches, tomato soup
Creamy garlic shrimp pasta, tossed salad
Friday, March 6
Peanut butter honey toast, peaches
Black eyed peas, apples with strawberry yogurt dip, cornbread
Hamburgers on homemade buns, onion rings
Saturday, March 7
Mom is Great breakfast cake, oranges
Beefy vegetable soup
BBQ chicken, peas, steamed carrots
And now…I’m gonna go make Malachi some chocolate pudding because he’s been asking me to make it for a long time and well…I like me some chocolate pudding too. :) And then, the two of us are going to re-organize the school room and his “school supplies”.
Psst….watch for a post on making Mozzarella Cheese in the next few days!!
I hope all of you are thinking about your little Green Projects!!!

Sounds yummy Laura. A quick question, last week we made your sourdough pancakes and they were delish, the only problem was that they were kind of flat. Is there a way to make them puffier? My kids will eat any kind of pancake but they prefer the puffy ones.

Toni,
My only idea for fixing this is to maybe add a little less buttermilk and then a little extra baking powder in the morning. My homemade buttermilk is quite thick so maybe that makes a difference in the thickness of our pancakes? Sometimes my pancakes are so thick they take FOREVER to cook so that they won’t be gooey inside. Who knows!!

How did you end up cooking the pollack last week? Was your fish good? Your garlicky shrimp on this weeks menu sounds wonderful. I LOVE seafood. Have you tried tilapia? It is a very good fish. I always prefer fresh fish, but when it is not available, tilapia is very good from frozen. I make a coating for it from wheat germ, homemade breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, italian seasoning and garlic and then bake it in the oven. It is so good! Also, fish tacos are yummy! My kids love fish and shell fish of any kind!

You have some great recipes linked here. I think that I just may have to print a few of them off to try in the near future.
