Menu Plan Monday
This is a week of changes! My sister will be out of the house for much of the week while she starts training for a new job and The Little Empress will be starting school, necessitating the need for quick, easy to make and eat breakfasts as well as packing her lunch. I didn’t expect to have to start packing lunches for at least another three years! Oh well, you just gotta roll with the schedule, I guess.
To further complicate matters, a few unexpected expenses make for a very tough financial week. There’s less money than usual for the food budget so I’m having to really get creative with what we’ve got left in the pantry and freezer… which isn’t much. Luckily, there’s still something to work with so hopefully our food for this week won’t suck much.
On the menu at our house for the next week…
Breakfast
Monday through Wednesday — Breakfast burritos (gonna make a batch of breakfast potatoes and scrambled eggs on Monday to last for a few days)
Thursday & Friday — Banana + strawberry smoothies with a boiled egg and whole grain toast
Saturday & Sunday — Pancakes using some of the Amish Friendship Bread starter batter
Lunch
Lunch for Daddy will be leftovers from the night before.
Mommy & The Little Empress will be (separately) dining on:
- Monday: Duck fried rice (made from Easter brunch’s Peking duck leftovers!)
- Tuesday – Friday: Onigiri filled with beef soboro with a cup of fruit
- Saturday & Sunday
Dinner
- Monday: Easter weekend leftover buffet (spaghetti, Japanese curry, Chinese food)
- Tuesday: Filipino Pork Menudo (cooked in a crockpot while we’re away)
- Wednesday: Chicken & tofu stirfry with vegetables
- Thursday: Panfried cod fillets with vegetables
- Friday – Saturday: TBD — depends on what is on sale at Winco… I’ll keep you posted! Can you believe everything so far is from just my pantry and refrigerator??
