Strange as it seems, I had to redo this weeks menus once again. There is reason behind my madness, it just seems as if I can not for the life of me only cook for two people. So there are lots of leftovers, and probably more before the week is over. I may have to figure out a biweekly making of a menu... Yet I would probably still be changing things around.
Monday
I am using some fake crab and making a quiche. Doing that will give us two more meals, which of course will need eating later this week. I will probably have the leftovers for supper on Thursday and forgo the soup and sandwiches. Serving it both times with a salad. Tonight we will finish off the kale salad and I will be making a tossed salad on Wednesday so will have that again on Thursday.
Tuesday
There is leftover taco meat, so I will be making Nachos for supper using that up as well as the remainder of the toppings I cut up for our soft tacos.
Wednesday
I pulled a container of meaty spaghetti sauce out of the freezer so it will be spaghetti with meat sauce and a tossed salad. This is one of the planned meals for the week.
Thursday
The last of the quiche and the remains of the tossed salad.
Friday
Back to what I planned, I will be making a salmon casserole and will make corn as the side. There are already peas in the casserole as well as mushrooms.
Saturday
Baked spaghetti, and a side of coleslaw.
Sunday
The roast chicken that I was going to make a few weeks ago. The bones will be set aside for bone broth. Serving this with roasted potatoes, and the remains of the coleslaw.
Breakfasts will be toast, oatmeal or yogurt. I am pretty much the only breakfast eater in the house. Lunches will be any leftovers, and the usual sandwiches.
I made a spice cake which will be served for dessert. Not sure if I will ice it or make the caramel sauce that my Mom always put on her spice cakes.
Off to get started folding clothes and then preparing the quiche. Then to visit all of you while the quiche is cooking.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Resident Chef doesn't mind cooking extra and putting at least half into the freezer for later meals. Salads however are sometimes too big and spoil before we can eat them up. Hard to convince him to make only half a recipe.
ReplyDeleteYUM to it all!
ReplyDeleteI’ve found that using a smaller bowl when making a salad reminds me not to make so much‼️. Conni

ReplyDeleteTrying to cook for only two is a challenge when you are accustomed to preparing for more. But, there isn't anything wrong with leftovers. Sometimes they taste better than the first time around.
ReplyDeleteMmm, quiche, I make these regularly with different ingredients.
