Tracy in Ky Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 pot roast with potatoes, onions, carrots, and yams Do you think white sweet potatoes would be good with a roast? We planted a bunch in our garden, and we've never even had them. I really need to find ways to prepare them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetpeach Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I need to branch out. My Menu Plans never have words like Pozole or chapatis. Looks good! :D Ha, me too! I only discovered quinoa a few weeks ago, and had never heard of sucanat until Cindy in C'ville posted the granola recipe. So much to learn, so many growing edges.

Chris in VA Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Tracy, Bake your sweet potatoes. If you like them fluffy (like Idaho white potatoes) then soak them for a few hours in salted water. Don't know why it works, but it does. Our week-- Chili/cornbread pasta salad (rotini, Italian dressing, grape tomatoes, mozzerella cheese cubes, mushrooms, black olives, gr peppers, cukes) Pizza (from the box) hamburgers and tator tots salmon, wild rice, salad smokey po (onions, peppers stirfried soft, boiled potatoes and lean smoked sausage, all combined) "big" chicken (roasted chicken with sides of some sort) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Once Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Here is mine. I'm trying to get more faithful at this as I have taken some time off. Thanks for the encouragement. Monday - leftover Vietnamese Chicken Tuesday - Lamb patties and mashed potatoes Wed. - dinner out at church Thursday - Beef stew in the crockpot with curried veggies Friday - Chicken teriyaki Saturday - Spagetti We are on a tight budget these next two weeks so I am over compensating buy bring out all the nice cuts of meat from my freezer. :tongue_smilie: Dosen't make sense I know but it feels a little better to not have complaining kids. They love most of these meals. I'll give them lentil soup next month when the money is not so hard to stretch.:001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Each Sunday we have youth and my dc's come home starving. They are so wired it seems like they never will go to sleep. Monday morning is a mess to get started and their moods are horrible. I'm really getting fed up.:glare: Since my dh is a pastor, I don't really want to stop them from youth. I also feel this is important but I can't stand starting out my Mondays like this. I feel like we need a weekend to overcome our weekend, IYKWIM. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas about things that have worked at your house? Anything from food that doesn't keep them up to starting later on Mondays? Anyone else have the Monday blahs:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 We're in super-busy crisis mode, as I get several projects off the ground, including the school year. So I wrote out 6 weeks of super easy, super boring menus (1 plan times 6 weeks.) It is: Tacos Spaghetti Baked rotini Chicken pot pie Pizza Church group (we eat there every other week) or sloppy joes Sunday dinner (TBD each week depending on hosting people or eating elsewhere) I bought it all for six weeks and cooked up the spaghetti sauce to freeze, as well as the cut-up chicken for tacos and meat for sloppy joes. Then I divided up everything else and froze it or stocked it in the pantry. I just need to add fresh veggies each week. It will be boring and possibly bland, but it will be better than nothing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaLee Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I work Thurs, Fri, & Sat evenings so those nights tend to be stuff that's real easy.

Frontier Mom Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Ohhh, I am in so in need of getting a weekly menu. I was doing so good at this and got out of the routine and -wham - now we are so out of whack. I signed up for the Tasty Planner but I just haven't had the time to get it going yet. I think I will like it when I get it going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
