Five Day Menu Plan

Like I mentioned last time, I’m working my way through my cookbooks. We’re taking a break from The Mafia Cookbook this week so instead I’ve got one recipe from Mrs. Whaley’s Charleston Kitchen (indicated with an asterisk). I always have some exciting (well, to me anyway) news for next week’s menu plan and it is the reason that this week’s is only 5 days. But you’ll have to wait until next week to find out. ;)

As always, I use the Publix weekly ad to make my menu to help save money.

Dinners

Monday – Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Salad

via whatscookingamerica.net

Tuesday – Caramelized Onion and White Bean Flatbread with Salad and Homemade Italian Dressing

Wednesday – (Cookout) Potato Salad and Mint Iced Tea

Thursday – Chicken Tricolore with Roasted Cauliflower

Friday – Eggplant Pie*

Breakfasts – Whole Wheat Honey Pumpkin Muffins, Plain Greek Yogurt and Blueberries, Eggs, Berries

Lunches – Leftovers, Turkey Sandwiches with Cheesy Broccoli, Peanut Butter Sandwiches with Raisins, Tuna Cheesies, Eating Out

Snacks – Black Bean Brownies, Natural Popcorn, Berries, Homemade Watermelon Popsicles, Homemade Cinnamon Raisin Bread

    I guess the Black Bean brownies grew on you? :) I should make those again sometime soon…

    How do you make watermelon popsicles?

      Marcella and I like the brownies…my husband just doesn’t. :) He’s not eating any “treats” right now (trying to get to his idea of his “ideal” weight) so I can make these and not feel bad he doesn’t like them. :)

      The watermelon popsicles I saw on a friend’s Facebook picture and asked her how she made them. It’s SO simple! Just puree and put in molds! Marcella loves watermelon so I’m excited to try this since I JUST bought molds last week.

          I posted another version on your FB page…and also linked this one up to the one I posted. That is the one we ended up making and it was so refreshing. Great healthy summer treat!

    We had a caprese salad tonight… so yummy!!! The fresh mozzarella and the juicy tomatoes from our garden… with the basil sprinkled right over the top… oh my goodness. Summertime on a plate.

      It was so good! The fresh mozzarella was on sale so I thought that would be a nice summer dinner meal.

    Your menu sounds Oh So Good! I wish my husband would eat Tomato/Mozzarella/Basil Salad. I LOVE it, but he won’t touch uncooked tomatoes if I paid him.

      Ah, that’s too bad. You’ll just have to have one for lunch one day instead. :)

    [...] Last time I mentioned having a reason for only having 5 days on my menu plan and having an exciting surprise for my next menu plan. It’s something I’ve been wanting to try out for a long time and finally did this week. I ordered my first Sweetness Basket from Milk and Honey Organics! My Sweetness Basket this week was filled with the following organic produce: via The Beehive Buzz [...]
