A Day Late But Here It Is None The Less....This Weeks Menu

Yesterday found me so busy I forgot to post the week menu.

Of course with the weather lightening up there is more to do outside, so I just lost track of time....

Thoughts turn to warmer weather and lighter meals...(but not quite yet) also faster meals so one can DO the work needed outside... I have many errands to run today and possibly tomorrow also.

I am posting in no particular order because who knows what the days will bring...

1-English muffin pizzas

2-Hamburgers, french fries (home fries), and cole slaw

3-Freezer ready (homemade) stuffed shells (the last of them)

4-PAD THAI WITH CHICKEN (and veg that do not normally go into this dish but some a Philippine friend used to make it healthier) (I didn't make this last week because our schedule got turned around so it's back on this week with left over shredded chicken)

5-Tuna Sandwich with red onion

6-Wild caught Salmon if I can find it-I think I might make a Greek salad with this

7-Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff (saute pearl onions and mushroom, and garlic, and 1" pieces of carrot. Make a cream sauce, and toss in the sauteed veg.  Cube chicken to 1/2 to 1" pieces, and place in the slow cooker.  Add the veg and cream sauce.  Cook low 6-7 hours or high 3-3 1/2hours)
When time is finished, add 1 container of sour cream (light or regular) and stir.  serve with cooked noodles and a green salad..easy dinner on a busy day...

Last week I wanted to make a salad with dinner but had no lettuce.  All I had left was carrots.  So I shredded them, and added crumbled feta..it went over really really big.  I made a vinaigrette to go with it, and my oldest had his with Ranch..(he puts Ranch on everything...it's his Ketchup)

I plan on making some Irish Soda bread this week, to go with a meal or 2.  REAL Irish soda bread is generally white flour (not dark although they do make it with whole wheat sometimes too) with no caraway or raisins.  It is a plain white soda bread they use at the table with dinner.

And am also looking for a good brisket to corn some beef.  It will take longer then a couple of week so it will be a "belated Irish treat..." (I am not Irish, but my son's have Irish on their father's side...so for them...)

See you later,
Janie
