Menu Plan Monday

Look for new a feature for Mondays on this blog. As often as I can (probably will not be every week), I will post my menu plans for the week on Monday in a post called Menu Plan Monday. These will be for evening meals only (at least for now), though I will continue to post recipes for breakfast and lunch foods also.

The really great thing about Menu Plan Monday is that there are hundredes of blogs and websites that host this feature. The participants post their menus on one blog (click on this link to go there) . You can visit there and find literally hundreds of menu plans. There are menus that feature traditional whole foods.

Hopefully this will be a good resource for you. Meantime, here is my menu plan for the week along with recipes (click on the recipes that are highlighted):

Monday: Herb Roast Chicken, baked sweet potatoes, mixed green salad, Steamed Greens (Swiss chard or mustard greens, etc.)

Tuesday: Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Raw Sauerkraut (make your own or buy Bubbies and never heat raw sauerkraut), Cucumber and Feta Salad, fresh fruit

Wednesday: Red Pepper Quiche, mixed green salad, Buttered Beets, fresh fruit

Thursday: Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup (from chicken on Monday) with or without tortilla chips, Sweet Broccoli Salad

Friday: Scrumptous Macaroni & Cheese, California Spinach Salad, sliced tomatoes or grape tomatoes

Saturday: Leftovers

Sunday: Hamburgers on Alvarado St. sprouted whole wheat hamburger buns, Oven French Fries, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion (for burger), Carrot Ginger Slaw (make on Saturday)
