Menu Plan Monday: This Week's Menu

Well, with dad being out of town this week it's just me and the kiddos to worry about when it comes to food.  Then, as I was digging through the pantry I found some things that needed to be used up, so it's recipe experimentation week in some cases and in others I'm sticking with some tried and true things my daughter will eat that my husband isn't really fond of (like cheese pizza.  My husband likes meat on his pizza, the daughter doesn't).  Some of the more "odd" recipes I'll be eating, but I'll make my daughter a cheese sandwich or something for dinner instead as with her stomach bothering her this week pushing new foods on her could lead to us both being up all night and not in a nice way.

Menu Plan for Week of 8/8/16

Monday:  Noodle Bowl Night

Tuesday:  "Mom's Got Other Fish to Fry" Night.  In other words the son is getting left over pasta, the daughter is getting chicken nuggets, pudding and fruit and mom is having left overs with salad.

Wednesday:  Salmon Coconut Stew (this is going to be a pantry friendly recipe to use up things around here).

Thursday:  Home Made Tomato Soup with grilled cheese (have canned tomatoes that are old and need to be used)

Friday:  Summer Soup (WWII rationing recipe I want to try), home made bread with melted cheese on top and cheese pizza (for the daughter *laugh*).

Saturday:  Breaded shrimp, oven fries, salad

Sunday:  Fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, baked beans

To Bake:  Bread and Dessert.  Baking Day?  Hopefully soon.

Desserts:  Fresh grapes (Monday), Ice Cream with chocolate sauce (Tuesday), Vanilla Pudding (Thursday), chocolate chip cookie bars (Friday through weekend).

And there you are folks.  My menu for the week.  How about you?  Have anything good planned?
