Menus 11/30/09 - 12/6/09

11/30 Mon: Since yesterday turned into a marathon of Costco shopping and lunch with Mr. Mamie's sister, I never got home to get the roast and vegetables into the crockpot in time for dinner.  So we're having the Crockpot Simple Chuck Pot Roast with carrots and potatoes tonight instead.  We'll have some Lucy's Dinner Rolls with it - these are left-over from our super-yummy dinner with Mr. Mamie's mom and sister on Saturday night.

12/1 Tues: I return to teaching university night classes today and won't be home 'til late, so we'll have Sloppy Joes (from the freezer-stockpile that resulted from this cook-a-thon) that each person can heat up and eat on their own schedule.  Mr. Mamie makes sure that there's always a big bowl of fresh green salad in the fridge as well, which is perfect for fix-it-yourself nights.
 
12/2 Wed:  Chicken Spaghetti with Feta (which I'll be modifying to use whole wheat linguine and a can of Italian-style stewed tomatoes), Easy Cheesy Rolls, green salad.

12/3 Thurs: Mr. Mamie has a class until 7:30, so this is a good night for a crockpot dinner.  We'll have Crockpot Porkchops and Gravy, and while I wait for him to get home, I'll make some Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and refresh the green salad supply if needed.

12/4 Fri: Mongolian Beef and Sesame Noodles, mmmmmmmm! These noodles were delicious the first time we had them, and I can't wait to do them again.

12/5 Sat: Mandarin Chicken and Rice Bake, green salad.

12/6 Sun: Baked Spaghetti, which I'll make using some of our homemade freezer spaghetti sauce (another cook-a-thon product) and whole wheat noodles, Italian Cheese Bread (one of our absolute FAVORITES - we have it at least once per week!), green salad.

Whatever you're cooking and eating, have a wonderful week!
