Photo of the Week and Menu 1/11/10 to 1/17/10



Photo of the week: Can you guess what this is? Answer at the bottom of this post.


Here is my menu post for the week. I do not plan lunch because I usually have leftovers or a salad. My family is very much in the habit of having meat at meals and I would like to see us eat less of it. I am beginning with having one night a week be vegetarian night, this week it is Thursday.

Monday:
Breakfast- Pumpkin Muffins, yogurt and fruit dip (recipe pending)
Dinner- Buffalo Burgers (recipe review pending) with homemade fries for the family

Tuesday:
Breakfast- Refreshing Morning Smoothie
Dinner- Turkey Soup (leftover turkey meat from Sunday), Creamy Butternut Squash and pumpkin muffins

Wednesday:
Breakfast- Egg Scramble with Spinach and Tomatoes
Dinner-Sausage with peppers and potatoes for the family

Thursday:
Breakfast- Pumpkin Pancakes
Dinner- Vegetarian Night, Spaghetti Squash with Marinara Sauce (made without the meat of course)

Friday:
Breakfast- honey sweetened yogurt with fresh fruit and pecan nibbles
Dinner- Meatloaf with salad (new dressing recipe to try) and mashed potatoes and gravy for the family

Saturday:
Breakfast- Grain Free Chocolate muffins
Dinner- Ina's Pesto Baked Salmon, Chicken tenders (for those who won't eat salmon), sliced tomatoes, seasoned rice for the family.

Sunday:
Breakfast- Chocolate Muffin and an egg
Dinner- Ham, huge green salad, oven roasted potatoes for the family and butternut squash

Snacks and Treats; carrot cake, pecan nibbles, beef jerky, chocolate chip cookies

What is burning in the photo? Our Christmas Trees. We traditionally burn them on the evening of New Year's Day, and they go up fast.
