Dinner Menu Plan: Feb 15 - Feb 21

I'd like to start posting our menus here.  Maybe -- if you also happen to be a fast-observant Orthodox  Christian and interested in healthy, low-cost, good food -- you can make use of these menus.  

For reference, I am a nursing Mommy (nursing two, actually), so I make lenten dinners for our family and add a glass of milk or a chicken breast (or other easy-to-prepare meat) as I feel the need.  When I am pregnant, I probably add both.  (For more info on pregnancy nutrition, visit BlueRibbonBaby.org.)  CP stands for Crock Pot.  And Leanne Ely is the creator of Saving Dinner.  This menu has Friday as a fast day, but the following week has no fast days.

Fri:  Leftover (frozen) Leanne's CP Seafood Paella (fish omitted) 
        with salad and bread 
Sat: Out of town, but we had Veggie Bacon Potato Soup with 
        salad and a fruit tray
Sun: Lunch - Pulled Pork Sandwiches, chips, salad
        Dinner - Pizza
Mon: Leanne's CP Black Bean Sausage Soup, leftover 
         Paella, and salad
Tue: Tuna Stuff on Rice with raw cauliflower and 
        carrot sticks and homemade ranch dressing.
Wed: Easy Italian Chicken, buttered wide whole 
        wheat noodles, steamed broccoli
Thu: Wednesday's leftover chicken and veggies (and noodles?) 
        made into a CP Chicken Veggie Soup with bread and 
        butter and maybe salad
