Menu Plan - 10.29.12



I think I actually followed my menu plan to a "T" last week.  I rarely ever do that.  I have to tell you a new favorite meal that we had - Slow Cooker Carnitas, Easy Guacamole, PW's restaurant style salsa, black beans and corn.  It was so yummy.  I did it slightly differently than the recipe I linked to.  I cooked the pork roast in water in the slow cooker for a good 16 hours on low.  I took it out of the liquid and laid it on a pan and sprinkled the seasonings that it called for plus some juice and cooked it at 400 for 25 minutes to "crisp" it up.

Another thing I did this week was to use pretty dishes on the table.  I am much more of a functional person and I don't think about the presentation of my food.  My stepmom "T" always makes a nice presentation of her food.  Even if it is just us around the table she always uses prettier bowls and nice baskets for her bread.  I think I should do this for my family more often.  It does mean more dishes to wash but they are worth it.

I also am going to try to make Monday's my "make ahead" days.  Today I am going to try to get breakfasts in the freezer for the month (or week - whatever).


Menu Plan

I keep breakfast and lunches simple.  I do some things on the weekend to make it easier for the week. I try to serve smoothies with breakfast or at least sometime between breakfast and lunch.

Breakfast:

Lunch:

  • PB & J, fruit and veggies
  • Leftovers  
  • Mini pizzas and carrots 
  • Beans and Rice and fruit
