Menu Plan 10/16 - 10/29

First off, let me apologize for the lack of posts around here lately.  There's no real reason for it, I guess I just got sidetracked.  We did get a lot done this past week or so and school has gone pretty smoothly lately, so maybe it's not such a bad thing.  I am, however, determined to pick up the pace a bit and hope to post at least every other day, if not daily. 

Today I'm posting our menu plan with links to a few of the recipes. Also, I'm listing a movie for each day.  Coming up to a holiday, such as Halloween, The Boy likes to list all the holiday appropriate movies we own and put them in a hat, draw one movie for each day and make a schedule for us.  That way we don't miss out on anything.  So here's my list of meals and movies for the rest of October.  Enjoy!

10/16
B - Basic muffins with streusel topping
L - Roasted potatoes
D - BBQ meatball subs, chips
M - Simpson's Treehouse of Horror, season 2

10/17
B - Pancakes
L  - Sandwiches
D - Cheeseburger calzone, chips
M - We actually skipped the movie, but it was supposed to be Halloweentown.

10/18
B - Eggs or cereal, milk
L - Spaghetti O's
D - Bowtie Lasagna, steamed broccoli, breadsticks (Since I'm linking the recipe directly, let me just point out my modifications... I'm using medium shells instead of farfalle this time (the store was out) and I use only half the sour cream called for - it's enough.  This recipe is very filling and a single batch is plenty for all of us and reheats well the next day for lunch.)
M - Frankenstein (1931, black and white)

10/19
B - Breakfast burritos
L - Sandwiches
D - Pigs in blankets, baked beans
M - Halloweentown 2

10/20

There's been some curiosity as to exactly what bean and sausage mush is, so I'm posting the recipe.  This is one that Bryant made before we were together and, if I recall correctly, came from a book of game recipes.  We don't always have venison on hand, so we often make it with sausage instead.

For 8 servings:
2 packages of rope sausage or kielbasa
2 or 3 28 oz cans of baked beans, any flavor
Fries, potato wedges, slices, etc... Whatever shape of potato you like, cooked as desired (this isn't great with mashed potatoes, though, so use something with some texture to it)

Slice the sausage up fairly thin (1/2 inch slices) and fry it until it's caramelized and hot all the way through.  Dump in the beans and heat thoroughly.  Serve the bean and sausage mush over fries.  That's it.  Very simple, inexpensive and filling. 

As always, leave a comment if you want a particular recipe.

Menu Plan 9/27 - 10/1

It seems I was foolish in thinking I could post a menu plan on Mondays and have it span a whole week.  I typically end my menu on Friday, so if I continue to post on Mondays, twice a month I'll have to skip the weekend. 

For instance, I have a menu planned thru Friday, but have only just started the next the menu and grocery list.  It won't be ready for a couple of days.

So I'm posting the menu for today thru Friday, but am considering a change in the future.  Maybe I'll even just post my entire menu for two weeks at a time.  I'm undecided.  Just FYI. 

Monday:
B - Eggs, toast and milk or cereal and milk
L - Roasted potatoes, steamed broccoli, homemade cheese sauce
D - Mini cheeseburgers, cole slaw, chips (rolled over from last week)

Tuesday:
B - Granola with craisins and milk
L - Pizza
D - Hot chicken salad, fresh veggies

Wednesday:
B - Eggs, toast and milk or cereal and milk
L - Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, baby carrots
D - Pizza

Thursday:
B - Peanut butter baked oatmeal and milk
L - Sandwiches or stir-fried green beans
D - Eggs to order, toast, fried ham or sausage, milk

Friday:
B - Eggs, toast and milk or cereal and milk
L - Macaroni and cheese with broccoli
D - Pepperoni Rolls


Are you eating anything interesting this week?  I'd love to hear about it!
