My menu for the week is bound to look a little disorganized. I like to grocery shop two weeks at a time and this is week two. Sometimes things can start to run a little lean. Also, we are getting rid of one of our cars so we'll just be a one car family. At least for a while. Which means, I won't be running to the grocery store whenever I need something. I'll have the car on days when I have school functions, field trips or park days.
We're back to homeschool now. I think it is almost LESS hectic. The days seem to flow a lot better and with a much better routine. I need to do a better job menu planning to help that along!
MONDAY: Spaghetti and Meatballs (meatballs from batch I made a couple weeks ago and froze), Garlic Bread, Salad
TUESDAY: Husbands Birthday. He has requested Italian meatloaf stuffed with mozzarella cheese, mashed potatoes, and corn. I have just realized this is going to be a LOT like meatballs. Oh well. We'll also make a birthday cake.
WEDNESDAY: Grilled Chicken legs, Rice, green beans and rolls.
THURSDAY: Pinto Beans and Corn bread
FRIDAY: Beef and Bean Burritos (using leftover pintos)
Saturday: It is grocery shopping week. We'll grocery shop and pick something up to cook on Saturday.
Italian Meatloaf: I don't really have a recipe. I just made it up one day and it was a hit.
Ground Beef
Italian Bread Crumbs
Eggs
Basil
Oregano
Chopped garlic
finely chopped onion
hit of tomato sauce
Mix together and divide in half. Put half in the bottom of a loaf pan. Take mozzarella cheese and place on bottom half leaving room to seal the edges. Top with remaining loaf.
Top Meat loaf with tomato sauce and Italian herbs. Bake until cooked through. Allow to stand before cutting for a few minutes or cheese will all run out. It's not a very healthy meatloaf but it gets the MANLYMANHUSBAND seal of approval.
