Lots of simple, easy dishes on this week's menu as all my energies are focused on Christmas. The only grocery shopping I plan on doing is for Christmas Dinner's ingredients, so we will be eating out of the cupboards and freezer for most meals.(Christmas is almost here! Squee!)
Monday
- Pasta with farmer's market ground beef, freezer tomato sauce, mushrooms, onion, garlic, and peppers.
Tuesday (work)
- Frozen Kashi meal with salad and satsumas.
Wednesday
- Kashi frozen pizza and salad followed by binge cleaning and stress snacking.
Thursday (Christmas Eve Supper)
- A tasty and easy repeat from last year: tiny Cornish hens, roasted, with baked potatoes and peas. Ingredients: Cornish rock hens, butter, lemon, thyme, salt and pepper.
Friday (Christmas Dinner)
- Beef tenderloin with port wine sauce, garlic-herb mashed potatoes, garlicky green beans and/or buttery parsley corn, tossed salad, fresh rolls, and pickle plate. Ingredients: many.
Saturday
- Leftover beef tenderloin stir-fried with carrots, celery, and onion over parsley-rice with leftover salad. Ingredients: beef, carrots, celery, onion, home-made stir-fry sauce (water, cornstarch, broth, soy sauce).
Sunday
- Stew from the leftover tenderloin (based on "Leftover Beer Roast Italian Stew") with leftover rolls. Ingredients: beef, onion, garlic, leftover vegetables, bell pepper, low-sodium broth, low-sodium diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, mushrooms.
You have a delicious menu planned!
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad that my husband isn’t working on Christmas Eve and Christmas. He really needs the days off. This is the best family Christmas gift!
Here’s wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas!
