anyone have a menu they want to share
I've got pizza for Fridays down and now I am staring at the paper like it should do something :o ;)
-
Hey, I'm a step ahead of you. I have pizza down for Fridays AND turkey down for the 28th. ;)

Cath ~ hahahahahhahaha
I've got ham for that day too ;D

Well, I'm totally confused with the two threads but mine is for the second half of the month so I'm going to put it here. I worked on this on our way to Dallas this weekend...may tweak things a hair or change things up a bit (particularly lunches, depending on exactly what is on the schedule that day), but overall this is it:
11/18 B-Pancakes, sausage (using up some turkey sausage that was a great deal but we don't love)
L-Tacos, from leftover lentil/ground beef mixture from Thursday night
S-Meatloaf, scalloped potatoes, mixed veggies (trying out the dehydrated potato slices I bought since we have no fresh potatoes onhand)
11/19 B-Oatmeal, 1/2 portion of protein shake for adults and any kids who want it (otherwise I feel icky an hour or so after eating oatmeal)--each time oatmeal is served we have the options of brown sugar, peanut butter or almond butter, cinnamon, raisins, etc..., unless I cook it with apple and then I make it all with cinnamon as well.
L-Crockpot "refried" beans-served with or without tortilla, depending on the child, with shredded cheese
S-Chicken Parmesa, salad, sourdough bread with garlic butter
11/20 B-Cappuccino chocolate chip muffins (adults may have a lower carb option)
L-Leftover refried beans
S-kids eat at church on Wed., Earl has class, and I will find something leftover or splurge on something cheap out
11/21 B-Oatmeal, 1/2 protein shake for whomever
L-unsure, possibly potato soup
S-White bean soup with ham (Earl brought a ham bone with a fair amount of meat from his work holiday party on Friday), cornbread fritters
11/22 B-Toast, yogurt
L-Indian Style Lentil Stew
S-Pizza, homemade, possible sourdough crust, probably a cauliflower crust for adults
11/23 B-Potato bowls
L-leftover lentils
S-Spaghetti, green beans, garlic bread
11/24 B-Waffles, bacon
L-Roast, mashed potatoes, veggie TBA
S-Sunday evenings are often popcorn, eat what you find in fridge, etc... .
11/25 B-Blueberry muffins
L-Korean Vegetable Pancakes, brown rice
S-Chicken and dumplings, broccoli
11/26 B-Oatmeal, 1/2 protein shake
L-Personal pizzas
S-Pinto beans with corn bread or rolls, TBD
11/27 B-Crustless quiche
L-Leftover pintos
S-Taco Soup, corn bread or tortilla chips
11/28 B-Toast, yogurt, protein shakes (easy stuff :) )
L-Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, pies (thinking of apple, cherry, and pumpkin)
11/29 B-Leftover pie (keeping it real ;) )
L-leftovers
S-pizza
11/30 B-Apple fritters
L-leftovers
S-Cheesy Corn and Potato Chowder, some sort of bread TBD
Snacks or items to round out lunches include: cheese sticks (cut from 5 lb block of cheese), apples, more apples (alone or with PB or almond butter or sunflower butter), lol, homecanned peaches, applesauce, Laughing Cow cheese and gluten-free crackers (bought a case several months ago of the crackers and need to use them up), homemade yogurt (with or without frozen blueberries or triple berry blend stirred in), homemade cookies, muffins, or granola bars as the mood strikes mom, cheese toast, PB & J, carrots and Ranch.
Breakfast notes: if we oversleep on a day we need to be somewhere(or at mom's discretion), homemade frozen waffles may be subbed out for another breakfast. Some kids like them with peanut butter, some with syrup, some with both. Toast and yogurt are always available for this as well. Earl and I may eat eggs or a low-carb version of pancakes on those mornings, or a protein shake.
Lunch notes: This is my hardest meal. Sometimes planned leftovers don't happen if everyone is extra hungry. PB & J may occasionally be subbed out for those who can eat it (not mom due to PB allergy). Or grilled cheese or quesadillas.

So, after getting this menu all done, I bought that 10 lb bag of sweet potatoes this weekend and I only had them on the menu for Thanksgiving. Guess I need to rethink and change up a day or two to use them. :)
-
Love the pie for breakfast, Catherine! STILL needing to make menu plan, have no idea why I keep putting it off ???

We have pie for breakfast every year on the day after Thanksgiving!

Can we just eat pie every morning for breakfast with our coffee? lol

Sounds good to me! Or at least on the mornings when there are no other desserts in the house, lol.

You all are BRILLIANT! I am soooo instituting this tradition this year.
S-Pizza, homemade, possible sourdough crust, probably a cauliflower crust for adults
Do you mind sharing your recipe for sourdough pizza crust? Thanks!! :)

Catherine, do you have a recipe for the cauliflower crust? I am trying to reduce my carbs.
Thanks!

Steam a bag of frozen cauliflower or the equivalent in fresh. I "mush" it in a clean dish towel to get out excess moisture and chop it into small bits. Mix in a couple cups of mozzerella cheese, 3 eggs, and any spices (usually oregano for me) and pat out onto a parchment covered cookie sheet or pizza pan. Bake at 400 until golden. Peel off parchment and flip crust, then top and broil to heat toppings and melt the cheese.

I haven't tried it yet but was planning to use the No-Knead sourdough bread recipe from The Nourished Kitchen: http://nourishedkitchen.com/no-knead-sourdough-bread/ I made the bread dough last week but had it rising in the oven and forgot I had turned it on. :(

How do you like this as a replacement for regular crust?

Well, Earl and I both like it very well. My personal favorite pizza restaurant crust is thin and crispy and this is not at all like that. But it's good and chewy, very little cauliflower taste at all. We do not eat low-carb all the time, but this recipe is delicious enough for me not to miss "regular" pizza and allow me to skip the blood sugar fluctuation that the regular crust gives.
-
Can't wait to try this. I used to make 'fauxtatoes' when I was doing low-carb and I love cauliflower.

Beth - your menu looks good, as usual! :)
What type of fish are you frying on Dec. 1?
-
Thank Cheryl.
I'm thinking it's catfish. Without unloading the chest freezer I'm not 100% sure though. ::) I may have a trout or two in the garage freezer that Aaron caught. I'll have to go out there and see. Hmmm.....
I'll fry fish and hushpuppies, make slaw and bake potatoes.
I have to have fish when Aaron's working though. The smell of hot grease makes him sick on his stomach and he does not like fish so I save that meal for a weekend when he works.
Beth
-
We love catfish around here, bream too except for all the bones. :)
-
Fish bones scare me with little kids. Lainey and Holden will eat the catfish since it's filleted (how do you spell that?? That doesn't look right :-\) and Sam will eat the trout since it's got bones.

I feel like I've asked this but don't remember the answer - what's Rissoles?

Also like your Menu Beth

They're salmon patties made with left over mashed potatoes. Sam likes the a lot better than plain salmon patties...the salmon taste isn't as strong.
Here's the recipe that I use but I make a few changes (like I do with any recipe ;))

Beth
thanks Beth - we don't eat seafood - wondering if this would work with chicken?
What changes do you make?
-
Well I don't use parsley or chives, I just use regular onions. Sam likes his food spicy so I will add some hot sauce or red pepper flake. I sometimes add bell pepper or worcestershire sauce.
I don't make big changes, just some seasoning changes.
I've never tried it with anything but salmon so I'm not sure about chicken. Try it and see what you get and then report back. :D
