Last week was one of the rare weeks that we ate almost everything I planned! We did not have the french toast casserole today so I will add that in another week; we ate leftovers instead. :) Most of the recipes were new, so here are the reviews:
Sweet Potato Lentil Stew - needed more seasoning which I added and changed on my blog. Andrew really, really liked this!
Irish Colcannon - it is a beautiful dish and a great way to get the whole family to eat greens. The combination of potato, kale, and egg was unique and tasty.
Apple Ham Bake - needs adjusted some; I don't think it needs the brown sugar and the next time I will add a little more curry. But it was good and the flavors were really great together! It would be perfect for brunch.
Spaghetti & Meatballs - I'm a little embarassed to admit that this the first time I've made homemade spaghetti sauce. I usually make my own meatballs and I've made other sauces just not marinara. This was a really good recipe. Andrew especially liked the meatballs (so did Calvin). It was easy and could probably be adapted for your crock pot. I think it would be extra good with fresh basil!
Monday – Chicken Curry over Sweet Potatoes, Salad
Tuesdsay – Black Bean and Veggie Quesadillas, Peas, Chips & Salsa
Wednesday - Corn & Potato Chowder, Homemade Bread, Salad
Thursday – Pizza, Fruit, Veggies, Cookies (Movie Night)
Friday – Sweet & Tangy Roast (in the crock pot), Catherine's Sweet Potato Cranberry Streusel, Green Beans, Orange Salad, Rolls, Pumpkin Bundt Cake
Saturday – My Grandparents 65th Anniversary Celebration (I’m taking fruit & cookies – my mom and aunts are doing the cooking for 60+!)
Sunday – Egg & Cheese Bagel Sandwiches, Fruit Salad
We will be having company this week! I'm so excited that my cousin, Leslie, will be spending Wednesday - Saturday with us! And several of my other cousins will be coming on Friday night for a fun-filled evening; some of them will be spending the night and then we will all head up for our grandparents' celebration. I can't wait! My family is an amazing blessing!
Anyway, all that to say that our menu reflects having company. :) Friday night will be dinner for a currently unknown number of people - roughly 10-16). Check out orgjunkie.com for more menu inspiration!

ReplyDeleteYum. what a delicious meal plan this week. Happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteI made the Sweet Potato Lentil Stew last week. It was a hit. I made a big pot of it early in the week and then had it for lunch several times which worked out perfectly. I only added a little more salt and it seemed just right to us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Have fun with your family visiting!
ReplyDeleteI love your menu this week. We love quesadillas over here, and that chowder looks delicious, too!
Enjoy that anniversary party. Congrats to them-it's amazing to be married 65 years!
