Week Before Xmas Menu

 

Today I decided, before going off to do the weekly food shopping, to get a dinner plan outline mainly so I can see what exactly we need so I don't over spend which is easy to do in the grocery store. I spent $50 less than last week so I feel pretty  successful.  Here's my outline.  (some of these days might get swtiched around as I tend to leave a plan pretty flexible).  We typically eat anywhere between 6:30-7:30 depending on the day. 

• MONDAY:  Shepherd's Pie with ground "impossible meat"; fruit cup of grapes, honeydew, oranges,  pineapple, blueberries, cherries,  and pomegranate. 

• TUESDAY: Oven Baked Parmesan Crusty Chicken; Roasted Sweet Potatoes; Steamed French  Green Beans with fresh Mozzarella and light tuscan italian dressing

• WEDNESDAY: Italian Joes over Garlic Toast; Creamy Orzo with red onion; Tossed salad with Romaine, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red and green pepper.

• THURSDAY: Tofu Scramble (minus the potatoes) over jasmine rice; fresh clementines

• FRIDAY:  Tomato-Basil-Orzo soup; Grilled Cheddar Cheese Sandwiches; Dessert night:  Christmas Ginger Snaps

• SATURDAY:  We might order out or go out.........not sure yet.....

• SUNDAY:  We're having our daughters over to  celebrate the youngest turning 26 the day before. She has requested my Veggie Pot Pie (vegan) and Steamed broccoli, and Vegan Chocolate Crinkles. We will be eating after church as later that evening, we are going Christmas caroling with other choir members. We will either grap Indian food after caroling to eat late Sunday evening or make sandwiches here at home. 

What's on your menu this week? 

Do you have a favorite Friday evening dinner or do you order out/go out every Friday night like we used to??
