menu plan monday : 2.22.10.

i would totally jinx myself by saying i haven't missed a monday yet… but i won't.  instead, we'll just stick to what is on the menu for this week.

monday : sour cream waffles.  i had plans to make these over the weekend for breakfast or brunch.  instead, we had the pioneer woman's cinnamon rolls on saturday – yum! – and we all enjoyed something different yesterday.  i was enjoying the fruits of my labor from saturday's cooking/baking session : homemade yogurt + granola.  even if the girl won't eat my yogurt from my handy dandy yogurt maker, i think it's made me like yogurt instead.  i actually use yogurt for a substitute for the sour cream in this recipe.  since i started making my own yogurt, i've quit buying sour cream + mayo as it can be used as a substitute.  talk about a win/win situation!

tuesday : asian style turkey burgers.  one from way back in the recipejournal archives.  i can't even remember the last time i made these.  super simple weeknight meal.

wednesday : maple glazed chicken.  when blog hopping through google reader, i always star things that catch my eye.  this happened to be in my "starred" pile so we'll give it a whirl this week.  and i already have everything that i need for it.  another plus.

thursday : turkey meat loaf.  i got this recipe originally from gabby and we love it.  sometimes i'll make it more free form on a sheet pan on top of a silpat so that it can get crispy on all the edges, not just the top.

friday : pizza.

saturday : enchilada casserole.  each week, there is always one recipe that doesn't get made for one reason or another.  this one was a casualty from last week so it's back on the menu for this week.  wondering if i could make two and freeze the other…?

last week's new recipe review

honey sauced chicken.  really good.  i mean, REALLY good.  and i even cheated but starting with frozen chicken breasts and just adding a bit more time on.  i also doubled the recipe.  we all liked it although i think the girl was actually enjoying the rice as the sauce might have been a bit spicy for her.
