I’m going to start trying something new with my menu plan. I’d really like to work more meatless meals into our diet, for reasons that will probably be the subject of another blog post once I get my thoughts together. No, I’m not going to become a vegan. :) My goal is to have fish one night (which should work well until I run out of the salmon in my freezer that I bought on sale), beef or chicken three nights, and meatless three nights. Don’t hold me to that, ok? It’s just a loose guideline for now. And feel free to send me your favorite recipes for filling meatless entreés!

Monday: Chicken & bacon quiche (leftover from Sunday), carrots, rolls

Tuesday: Garlic-potato soup, salad, French bread

Wednesday: Baked salmon, sautéed green beans, brown rice w/ mushrooms

Thursday: same as Tuesday

Friday: Beef tacos, fresh fruit, chips & homemade salsa

Saturday: same

Sunday: Breakfast for dinner—whole-wheat waffles (didn’t get around to trying this recipe a couple of weeks ago, so trying it now), scrambled eggs, fresh fruit

Monday: Pizza at the park

Tuesday: Burgers, potato wedges

Wednesday: same

Thursday: Lemon-pepper chicken, sugar-snap peas, carrots

Friday through Sunday: I think we’ll be eating dinner with my family most nights; I’ll just be making some side dishes.
