just barely getting this posted on monday…
it’s been a less than fabulous last five or six days so the name of the game of this week’s menu is all about easy. and some of C’s requests. it’s always fun to hear what she thinks we should eat. luckily she didn’t mention m&ms as a meal choice and instead only mentioned she wanted them after she finished breakfast this morning. um, don’t think so.
this week’s menu should be themed “americana.”
meatless monday : spaghetti with marinara sauce. high on the list of favorites by both girls. and a guarantee of lots of clean up by this mama. the perfect comfort food for the beginning of the week.
i’ve selected monday as a night of the week for our family to eat a meatless meal as it tends to be more budget friendly as well as a friendlier option for the environment. my meat and potato eating husband tends to go along with this idea because i also make him a yummy dessert in addition to his meatless meal. what can i say, i’m nice like that.
tuesday : tacos. grape tomatoes are on sale for 99 cents/pint. perfect for tacos. and perfect for every other minute of the day according to C. this was her request for this week. happy to oblige.
wednesday : baked potatoes. my husband will be happy to learn that the chili i made on saturday for him – and that he didn’t get to enjoy because he was operating – went into the freezer so that he could top his potatoes with it later this week. as i was telling my mom earlier today, i’m such a nice wife.
thursday : sloppy joes. oh so yummy. love using my grandma’s recipe for this. please refrain from buying the canned stuff, friends.
friday : pizza.
