Weekly Menu: August 13-19, 2007

August 13th, 2007 by Chef Mom

Edited to say what really happened with my menu this week…

The heat is really starting to get to me. After days and days of 100+ temperatures, all I can think of is easy and quick and PLEASE don’t heat up the kitchen! So this week I’m looking for meals that are grilled, made in the crock pot or cooked quickly on the stove.

Monday

  • After yesterday’s 7-course food feast we’ll be getting take-out food tonight - Yep, take out from Wendy’s

Tuesday

  • Grilled Beef Tenderloin steaks
  • Mashed Potatoes & Gravy Too much work - threw some potatoes in the microwave
  • Green Beans
  • Dinner rolls

Wednesday

  • Deli-Style Sub Sandwiches
  • Vichyssoise Nope - didn’t make it

Thursday

  • Grilled Chicken
  • Grilled Vegetable Frozen corn in the microwave.
  • Caesar Salad
  • Herbed Garlic Bread
  • I did make some fettuccine noodles though - I used a jar of Bertolli Alfredo Sauce spiffed up with some sauteed shallots, garlic, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes.

Friday

  • Shredded BBQ Pork Sandwiches - This was excellent but after roasting the pork for 6 hours I couldn’t be bothered with any other sides but chips and pickle spears
  • Potato Chips
  • Vegetable Pasta Salad

Saturday

  • Steak and Chicken Fajitas Pork Chops in the oven
  • Spanish Rice Mashed potatoes and gravy from a packet
  • Frozen broccoli in the microwave

Sunday

Steve went out of town on a business trip. We had take out Chinese food.

  • Grilled Pork Chops
  • “Brown” Rice
  • Artichokes
  • Dinner Rolls
