Menu Plan Monday – March 29, 2010

Aaaand… I’m back with MPM!  I’ve missed it deeply the last few weeks and my evenings of unplanned dinner have felt chaotic.  It’s time to get myself back on the wagon and start planning again!  (You’ll also note that my meals have taken on a different flavor.  I am trying to eat more protein and less carbs these days, for health reasons.  I am discovering a surprising new world of delicious recipes.)

Monday:

• Lunch – Frozen Amy’s Kitchen dinner that looked yummy when I went grocery shopping
• Dinner - Company dinner

Tuesday:

• Lunch – Tuna with Aoili on whole wheat
  
• Dinner – Spaghetti with ground turkey

Wednesday:

• Lunch - Lunch with Mom
• Dinner - Leftover spaghetti (I’m teaching a class at the shop)

Thursday:

• Lunch - Vegetarian quiche with cream cheese crust
• Dinner - Yarn night, dealer’s choice

Friday:

• Lunch – Leftover quiche.
• Dinner - Chicken curry with veggies

Saturday & Sunday:

The Family is coming over for Easter.  Meal planning goes out the window.  (Hoping to make homemade baked doughnuts though…)

Menu Plan Monday – March 1st, 2010

As you may or may not know, I have some medical things going on.  I’d rather not broadcast what those are, so just use your imagination (it’s not Lupus).  Rather than post my menu of nothing but liquid for the week (yes, it’s awful), I’ve decided to just point you back to Org Junkie’s MPM.  Go there and see all the lovely menus people who are able to eat solid food can have.  Don’t expect menus for at least a month from me.

On a more positive side, I went to Stitches West over the weekend.  Details and photos of goodies to come.
