Menu - Week of August 24, 2009

That was a long break. With end of school year activities and a busy summer, cooking plans and menus went out the window, but now that the kids are back to school (well, most of them--Daniel is home sick on the first day of school!), it's time to start planning again. I have been mostly diligent about sticking to $100 food budget for the week. My new goal is to go down to $80 per week. I know it's do-able. Here's my plan for this week:
  • Monday - Ground beef tacos, Mexican rice, watermelon slices, cucumber and carrots with dip
  • Tuesday - Pork Chops, Apple Slices, Broccoli with dip, Panzanella Salad
  • Wednesday - Pollo en Salsa con calabaza y elote (chicken in Mexican sauce with squash and corn), Mexican rice, canteloupe, garden salad
  • Thursday - Grilled Chicken, Couscous, Iceberg Wedge with Buttermilk Herb Dressing
  • Friday - Sushi (Mac and Cheese for the kids)
  • Saturday - Kung Pao Chicken, Canteloupe
  • Sunday - Steak, baked potatoes, Strawberry-Walnut-Goat Cheese Salad.
Provecho.
