One of the great things about posting my menu plans on my blog is that I have a record of them after the week is over. I usually recycle my menus at the end of each week but sometimes wish I had a copy of past menus for inspiration. Now I do! As always, check out orgjunkie.com for more great menu ideas!
Baking: blueberry yogurt muffins (I made mine with whole wheat flour, homemade yogurt, and replaced two tablespoons of the yogurt with a little fresh lemon juice for extra lemony flavour, so good!)
Apple Pie Burritos - these were a winner! I made them with some local honeycrisp apples and served them with a homemade caramel sauce instead of the Dulce de Leche.
The menu:
Broccoli and Potato soup with pita crisps (cut pitas in slices or triangles, sprinkle with olive oil and toast in the oven until crisp)
Salsa Cheddar chicken and Corn Fritters – I served these last week and my husband asked for it again!
Pasta and Tomato Sauce with Carrots and dip (we still have lots of carrots in the garden!)
Mexican Wraps (beans cooked in salsa for me, beef seasoned with homemade seasoning mix for my meat-loving husband – Thank you Mom Living Healthy for the recipe!) with lots of veggies
Rice Casserole (cooked rice mixed with veggies, beans, herbs and chopped tomatoes, sprinkled with cheese and baked in a 350 degree oven for 20 – 30 minutes)
Chicken Burgers and Fries (You can always tell the nights that I am out and the man is cooking for himself – this is definitely not the kind of meal I would cook or eat, but, to each his own!)
Hope there are yummy things cooking at your house this week!
Looks like a great week — I’m checking out your apple pie burrito link as well as the broccoli and potato soup
Yum.
I hope you like the taco seasoning! I’m going to try your pizza recipe next week…I didn’t want to overload on the new recipes this week
How was your carrot and parsnip soup? That sounds like an interesting combination?
Hi Greta – The carrot and parsnip soup was wonderful! I like the two veggies together and it was pretty simple to make – onions, carrots, parsnips and potato cooked in half milk/half veggie broth and then pureed with some fresh parsley and thyme. The recipe called for lemon zest and juice to be added before serving but my hubby didn’t like that too much so next time I think I’ll leave out the lemon.
