Meal Plan Monday

Because last night I went out to dinner with girlfriends, I already have some things on hand for dinner.  Here's what my week looks like tentatively:

Monday:
* Breakfast:  French toast with a banana and blueberries.
* Lunch: skipped, was in the middle of making cinnamon rolls--- I enjoyed one with a friend over coffee this afternoon.
* Dinner:  Roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, roasted beets, steamed broccoli and a salad with a glass of red wine.

Tuesday:
* Breakfast: Tea with cereal and fruit.
* Lunch: I have a luncheon I'm attending at an Irish pub.
* Dinner: Roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, roasted beets, steamed broccoli and a salad, red wine.

Wednesday:
* Breakfast: Tea and toast with a scrambled egg and fruit.
* Lunch: Salad with , beets, red kidney beans, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers and croutons.
* Dinner: Goat cheese tart with mushrooms, onions and and a salad.

Thursday:
* Breakfast: Tea and french toast with fruit and pecans.
* Lunch: Goat cheese tart, roasted chicken and salad.
* Dinner: Goat cheese tart, roasted chicken and salad.

Friday:
* Breakfast: Tea and an omelette with mushrooms, onions, and peppers and a piece of toast.
* Lunch: Goat cheese tart and a salad.
* Dinner: Salmon with asparagus, broccoli, tomatoes and mashed potatoes with bubbly.

Saturday:
* Breakfast: French toast with fruit and pecans.
* Lunch: Salmon with asparagus, broccoli, tomatoes and mashed potatoes with bubbly.
* Dinner: Roasted chicken and vegetable soup with a salad.

Sunday:
* Breakfast: Tea and toast
* Lunch: Irish meal at church
* Dinner: Cup of soup and a salad.

The roasted chicken will last longer than just this week, with parts being frozen for a later date.  It's going to be the beginning of Lent, so no meat on Fridays, or this week on Ash Wednesday.  This menu planning will come in very handy for Lent because I'll be able to make sure I plan for vegetarian or pescetarian meals on Fridays.

  1. The Goats Cheese Tart sounds quite delicious!
    And I have a confession to make, I have never roasted a chicken! I have no idea how that's possible, but it's true.
