Menu Plan Monday - 2/13/12

Menu Plan Monday

Missed last week to post the menu.  The kids and hubby came down with a cold last weekend.  Everyone is on the mend now, but it was a slow start to the week.  This weekend the weather was blustery and cold.  We've been fueling up on citrus fruit and comfort foods.  I made some broccoli cheese soup in homemade bread bowls that was super yummy.  And I made the always popular spaghetti and meatballs on the weekend.  Looking forward to milder weather by the end of the week.  I am so done with winter already!

 
Monday - A BIG batch of chili.  Homemade french bread.

Tuesday - Heart-Shaped Pizza I think this is becoming a tradition.  We've definitely had this the past few years, and was requested again this year.

Coeur a la Creme With Strawberries

I'm keeping the dessert a bit easier than last year.  If you would like to check out last year's V-day dessert: Heart Cake inspired by iambaker.  It was incredible, but a bit time-consuming.


Wednesday - Baked Chicken "tenders" with asparagus

Thursday - Pasta -

Friday - Roasted Chicken, Challah, carrots

Menu Plan Monday - 5/9/11

Last few weeks of school here.  The weather is supposed to be in the high 80's/90's, so I'm trying to keep the menu pretty simple.

Monday - Moroccan Meatballs - adapted from a "Biggest Loser Cookbook" recipe, and corn on the cob.

Tuesday - Pizza (yes, again).  Late night, so something quick.  Love this recipe from Martha Stewart for Whole Wheat Pizza Dough.  I'll freeze half for another night, too!

Wednesday - Breakfast for dinner.  Hope to make a big batch and pack some away in the freezer.

Thusday - Pretzel Dogs

Friday - Island Beef Ribs

Heart-Shaped Pizza

Heart-Shaped Pizza

I just wanted to post a picture from Monday night.    Find the recipe for the dough and sauce here on Serious Eats.com.  It's my new favorite dough.  So easy to make in the food processor and park it in the fridge or divide and freeze for later.  And the sauce is the best one I've found.  That touch of butter in the sauce seems to be the secret.  Of course, that means the sauce has dairy in it, but really who wants a non-dairy pizza?  Not me, anyway.  I'm okay with making a batch (or double batch) of the sauce and freezing it for pizza night.
