Menu Planning Monday - June 7th

Wow, another week just zoomed by! I guess they're right, time flies when you're having fun.  We're having lots of fun in the sun...grilling, watering the veggie garden (or splashing everything in sight with the hose), and attending lots of family parties.  Here’s what’s on the menu at our house this week.  Although, we may skip a planned meal over the weekend to take a bike ride with a picnic instead…fun, fun, fun!

Monday – Easy Mini Pizzas topped with Assorted Veggies (Recipe Link to be posted this week) – I’m going to let my 1 year old help make dinner...sounds super messy, but it should be lots of fun!

Tuesday – Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Yogurt-Cumin Sauce (Trying a new recipe from Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Cookbook), Brown Rice, Mixed Veggies

Wednesday – Mixed Greens Salad with Chicken, Tomato Wedges, Shredded Carrots, Walnuts, Parmesan Cheese, and Homemade Vinaigrette, Watermelon Slices

Thursday – Black Bean Quesadillas served with Fresh Salsa for Dipping, Mixed Berry Salad

Friday – Breakfast for Dinner: Farmers Market Sausage, Potato Cake, Eggs Anyway, Roasted Asparagus

Saturday – Soy Ginger Soba Noodles with Steak and Sautéed Veggies (Broccolis, Onions, Peppers, and Mushrooms) – Tastes better than takeout to me and its super easy to prepare with an Organic Annie Chun meal starter I purchased inexpensively using a coupon from Coupons.com. I just add fresh veggies and a lean protein for a quick dinner on a busy night.

Sunday – Multigrain Spaghetti with Meatballs in Roasted Garlic Marinara Sauce, Steamed Broccoli with Lemon, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
