Menu Plan for March 7 – March 13 and Banana-Cinnamon Dessert Empanadas Recipe

A friend of mine is moving to the other side of the country in a couple weeks, and Saturday was her going away party. I was going to supply some of the food, and we were doing a Mexican theme, so I made chorizo empanadas and a seven-layer dip, with banana-cinnamon empanadas for dessert. And then, as I was getting ready to go to the party, my back spasmed horribly and I ended up spending the evening on the couch with no remote (couldn’t bend to look for where the kids had left it) and Flexeril as my best buddy.

So

Menu Plan for Feb. 21-27

With my car broken down, we’re making do with what we have this week. Strangely enough, it doesn’t look that much different than other weeks. I’m the kind of person who feels more secure and happy with lots of food in my pantry and freezer, so we’re going to be okay (although, I am so glad that I signed up for milk delivery a few weeks back).

Dinners:

Sunday: Spaghetti con Sugo di Tonno

Spaghetti with Tuna Sauce

Monday: Pan-seared Cod and Roasted Asparagus and Rice Medley

Menu Plan for Feb. 14 – Feb. 20

Wow, I’m late with this. I had a doctor appointment this morning. The doctor’s office is in a hospital building, and the only parking for visitors is a parking garage, unless you want to drive around the block awhile to find a spot. I drive a Ford Expedition, and I jut get nervous driving that in a parking garage. So I took a bus to my appointment – which means that it took more of my time, but was a lot less stressful!

Last week, we didn’t stick to the menu plan so much. My daughter’s vegetarian friend was going to

Menu Plan for Feb. 8 through Feb. 14

My daughter has a friend visiting next week, starting on Friday. She’s an old friend from a homeschool group we used to be part of, but she moved out of state several years ago. The girls stayed in touch, and they are the best of friends. We’re looking forward to her stay, but I’m going to have to modify some of my cooking, as she’s a vegetarian.  I think it’ll be fun to get creative in a new way.

Dinners
Monday: Spanakopita (recipe to come)
Tuesday: Salmon cakes and cous cous (recipe to come)
Wednesday: Gyros and roasted potatoes (gyros meat bought from a

Menu Plan for Nov. 8-15

I have not been feeling well at all lately. I’ll go into it more once I have a diagnosis (my GP just referred me to a specialist), but I am going to try to push through the fatigue and post more often! It does help me feel like I’ve accomplished something when I can look at the entries I’ve made and see what things I’ve done.

AND I’m going to start with Menu Plan Monday, because I cannot tell you how much menu planning helps with both my workload and with keeping me on track. That’s not to say I always
