Menu Plan Monday for March 2
Be sure to visit MPM's host site, OrgJunkie.com.
This week's dishes of deliciousness:
(or so we hope)... Complete with desserts this week! My husband will be so happy. Cookbook Give Away info below...
Monday: Avgolemono (Greek Lemon Soup), Homemade Buttery Crescent Rolls, Chocolate Cake.
Tuesday: Fried Rice, Spring Rolls (from the freezer, not homemade!), Stirfried Cabbage, Homemade Chocolate Pudding.
Wednesday: Cheesy Hamburger Casserole (I will sub a cream sauce + cheese for the canned soup), Steamed Broccoli, Rice Pudding.
Thursday: Thai Coconut Soup (a very modified version), Carrot Raisin Salad, whatever leftover desserts are around....
Friday: Pasta al Forno, Corn Chowder, and Salad. Maybe a Chocolate Angel Food Cake. I know that's kind of two main dishes, but I like to make extra on Friday so if I don't have time to cook on the weekend, we still have something to eat.
Saturday: Homemade Pizza. Or Hamburgers and Twice-Baked Potatoes. Eh. Hard to say.
Sunday: Crockpot Barbecue Pork on Sandwich Rolls, Baked Beans.
