Bringing it back: Menu Mondays

This whole meat-free thing is throwing me for a loop. I managed to eek out 4 meals this week, and one of those is only because when Hubby ordered my grilled chicken Greek salad from the local Greek place, they didn't hear the "grilled chicken". I was not happy. We did the quinoa burgers but I'm not sure I really liked them. Strange texture. I might pile on Greek yogurt and cilantro when I thaw out the leftovers and eat them over lettuce. Maybe? My pesto lasagna was FABULOUS and I didn't follow any recipes. I usually use recipes as a starting guide anyhow. Another night we had breakfast of veggie and cheese-scrambled eggs and toast because it was the only thing I could think to cook that didn't require meat.

I'm writing this on Sunday, so I'm including Sunday's meal. Meat. I'm going to also include next Sunday's meal too, so that my menus can from here out go Monday through Sunday. It makes more sense to me. Plus, Menu Sundays just doesn't have the same ring.

  • Sunday: slow cooker ribs, acorn squash and garlic bread
  • Monday: Pesto and tomato grilled cheese with Tomato soup
  • Tuesday: Sweet potato and black bean enchiladas


  • Wednesday: Stuffed portabellas


  • Thursday: General Tso's chicken with broccoli and rice
  • Friday: Penne a la Betsy
  • Saturday: caramelized mushrooms and dumplings


  • Sunday: mini corndog bites

It must be the gourmet in me (if you could only hear the sarcasm), but those corndog bites look fabulous! I never thought of making them that way, but it's genius.

Last night was turkey pot roast and leftovers for tonight.

Wed: Chicken Cordon Bleu
Thurs: Chicken Spindini
Fri: Matt's night
Sat: Chicken cutlets

It's a very chicken-ny week.
