Winter season is almost here! Just 7 evenings from tonight, we will celebrate the Winter Solstice and our youngest daughter's birthday. Her family celebration will actually be Saturday evening as Sunday evening she is going out with a friend. I decided, now that most of the holiday parties are winding down on our calendar (we have one more for 12/27), that we needed to get back to some healthier eating and closer to 6:30 pm vs 7 pm. Mainly, because we tend to go to bed earlier in the winter months...at least Dave does.
So here's my Menu Plan for the week which I will keep flexible although I can tell you, tonight's and tomorrow's menu will be as written and I might actually do Wednesday's plan for Thursday. But at least I have an idea of what I'm cooking this week.
- MONDAY: Thai Peanut Naan Pizzas; Orange Sesame Salad (Meatless)
- TUESDAY: Italian Sloppy Joes on Garlic Toast; (made with fresh ground bison from the ADK bison farm) Steamed Broccoli/Cauliflower
- WEDNESDAY: Lemon-Herb baked chicken with Cucumber Slaw
- THURSDAY: Brown Rice/Quinoa Bowls with Roasted Mediterranean Mix veggies (red potatoes, zucchini, red bell pepper, onion, yellow squash) (Meatless)
- FRIDAY: Italian Bean Soup with Garlic Toast; Chocolate Shortbread Xmas Cookies for dessert
- SATURDAY: To Celebrate Claire's birthday: she has requested food from one of our fave vegan restaurants and my homemade Vegan Chocolate Crinkle Cookies (I'll make a double batch and freeze one for Xmas Day). I'll be ordering the Garbanzo Bruschetta (it's amazing!!) and Zucchini Fries; not sure about the rest of the family but I'm guessing Claire will order the Bar Vegan Sushi Roll and the Edamame Pot Stickers.
I'm looking forward to having a quieter week with no evening obligations except for Saturday! The last 2 weeks have been insanely busy.
What's on your menu for the week?? Have you done any Christmas cookie baking? We have NONE in the house as all the baking I've done the last 2 weeks has been for parties.
