Menu Plan – Week of August 10th

This evening I made The Thrifty Country Woman’s Choucroute a l’ Alsacienne. I followed the recipe (if you are a regular reader you know that is not my strength) except, (if you are a regular reader, you knew that was coming) I did not add the sausage. I have been trying to eat from the pantry, freezer, and garden for the last couple of weeks, and since I did not have any sausage, we did without. Even without the sausage, it was incredible! Just like I remembered from my childhood. I was hoping to use the leftovers for dinner tomorrow, but my husband and kids went back for second and thirds, so I will probably eat what is left for lunch tomorrow…unless somebody beats me to it first.

The lettuces in my garden are going to seed, so we will be eating a lot of salads this week. I am also continuing with my plan to create menus using what I have readily available, so I am somewhat constrained in what I am able to plan. Once I can see the back of the freezer I plan on buying fish and trying some of Momtrend’s recipes.

Monday – Tacos, Black Beans, and Spanish Rice

Tuesday – Use leftover meat and beans to make GG’s Taco Salad

Wednesday – Teriyaki Chicken, Rice with Garden Vegetables, Butter Tossed Green Beans

Thursday – Use leftover chicken in a version of Chinese Chicken Salad

Friday – Pork Roast, Baked Beans, Strawberry Spinach Salad

Saturday – Use leftover pork to make Pulled Pork, Baked Beans, and Italian Squash Salad

Sunday – Zucchini Crab Cakes*, Squash Puppies*, Baked Potatoes, and Garden Salad
