Good Morning or afternoon maybe I am getting a super late start today.
It was a super busy weekend here for us. How was your weekend?
Well it's Monday so let's talk
Menus
Do you plan a weekly menu? Or do you have a rotating menu?
I think my mother had more of a rotating menu but it wasn't something we ever talked about. Mother only cooked a few things and they seemed to always rotate quite frequently to the dinner plate. I always loved Mommy's cooking and I miss it. I know my kids miss a few things I cook because occasionally I get a call about a certain meal or dish and we chat and reminiscent.
Things are much different now a days with only me and The Cowboy. We have very few leftovers. I wish when I had a house full of kids I had thought of this . . .
C.O.R.N.
Do you put CORN on your menu? Clean Out Refrigerator Night.
Usually now a days I try to plan something early in the week that I expect to have either re-invented or as actual leftovers. Like this week I am planning a Pork Loin. The are big so we'll get 3-4 meals. I am roasting it tonight and then on Wednesday probably I'll make Green Chili Stew. I don't have a 'real' recipe and I'll probably look for pointers on Pinterest.
Here's my menu plan for the week with a couple planned leftover meals . . .
Monday . . . Oven Roasted Pork Tenderloin, Roasted Potato's and Carrots
Tuesday . . . Mexican Catfish, Spanish Rice and Cowboy Beans (a fancy? name for Pinto's)
Wednesday . . . Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potato's, Green Beans
Thursday . . . Green Chili Stew from L/O Pork, Corn Bread
Friday . . . Tortilla Soup, Tamale's L/O Rice
On my 'To Do' List this week is to Clean Out The Refrigerator. I admit it is really
like the above cartoon. Wish me luck!
Enjoy your week
