Dinner Menu Plan: Feb 28 - Mar 6

Meals were shuffled around quite a bit last week due to one thing or another,  at least one was pulled from the freezer, to compensate for dealing with a sick toddler, and another meal was used twice (in that we had leftovers, and I didn't want to cook on Sunday); therefore, this week's menu may seem a bit repetitive since we did not use all of last week's meals.

The second half of this menu covers the first half of Cheesefare week (Meatfare Sunday is March 2, being the last day on which we eat meat until Pascha): we are allowed eggs and dairy, but no meat.  Our dinners will reflect this, while the kids' and my breakfasts, lunches, and snacks will not.

The Menu:
  • Thursday: Thai Chicken-Coconut Soup with whole wheat noodles and stir-fried veggies
  • Friday: Bean and Vegetable Soup (improvised from expected leftovers of Wednesday's Hoppin' John) with bread and salad
  • Saturday: Pork in Cream with baked potatoes and steamed broccoli and carrot coins
  • Sunday: Lunch: either at church or Eggs and Bacon (last time before Great Lent); Dinner: all the Meaty Leftovers our fridge contains.  Goodbye meat!
  • Monday: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Creamy Tomato Soup and a veggie tray with dip
  • Tuesday: Micro-cooked Frittata with bread and butter and fruit salad
  • Wednesday: CP Smashed Potato Soup with bread and a veggie tray
  • Thursday: Leanne's CP Broccoli Tortellini (you pick some appropriate sides)
