Chomp it up.

Menu Plan Monday raids the freezer

Menu Plan Monday logoIt’s another one of those between-paychecks weeks around here, which means it’s time again to hit the freezer. Since we moved recently, my freezer stocks have dwindled. But I do have enough for two meals! I guess it’s time to start stocking up again.

Monday: Sloppy Joes
I have a few Joe “pucks” waiting in the freezer, making this an easy and budget-friendly option.

Tuesday: Lasagna Primavera
I’d expected to have half a pan of last week’s lasagna to freeze, but thanks to our post-dinner nibblers I ended up with only three pieces. That should be plenty, though.

Wednesday: Moe’s
We usually go to Moe’s after church on Sunday, but we didn’t do it this week. Poppy was pretty sad. We decided to give her a mid-week treat before we go to the fair.

Thursday: Waikiki Meatballs
My friend Carrie makes some great meatballs that I’d like to duplicate. I think this recipe might do the trick. (I know I could just ask for her recipe, but she’s out of town and I’m making my grocery list.)

Friday: Pizza

The Omnivore's One Hundred

Here’s an interesting little list I found at How to Eat a Cupcake. It originated at Very Good Taste, who gives the following instructions:

Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food – but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.

Instructions
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment at http://www.verygoodtaste.co.uk/ linking to your results.
