I’m getting back into menu planning finally. Posting it really helps me stick to it. Here’s my menu plan for this week.
Monday (tonight) - Chicken and Rice and mixed veggies.
Tuesday - Country Fried Steak (recipe below), mashed potatoes and gravy, niblet corn
Country Fried Steak
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup all purpose flour
1 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed
1 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoon steak seasoning (I use McCormick’s Grill Mates because thats what is in my spice rack)
4 (4 ounce) cube steaks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Whisk together the egg and milk in a shallow bowl and set aside. Whisk together the flour, crushed saltines, seasoned salt, onion powder and steak seasoning. Dip the steaks in the egg and milk mixture and then press each steak into the flour mixture. Pat the steaks with the flour mixture to coat them completely. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and fry the steaks until golden brown, firm and hot all the way through (about 4 minutes per side)
Wednesday - Fend for yourself night
Thursday - Easy Baked Pasta (recipe below), caesar salad and garlic bread
Easy Baked Pasta (recipe I clipped from the Atlanta Journal Constitution)
1 pound ground beef
3 cups ziti pasta cooked and drained
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet brown the ground beef and then drain. *In a 9 x13 inch baking dish, stir together the ground beef, cooked pasta, spaghetti sauce, mozzarella and a 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese. Top mixture with remaining parmesan cheese. Cover and bake for 20 minutes until heated through, gooey and delicious.
*Note-this is always messy for me to do. I wind up spilling some every time and still haven’t figured out how to mix it all together neatly. Lets see, where were we? Oh!
Friday - Dinner out somewhere. It is the annual Porterdale Christmas in the Village event. There will be a parade complete with Santa and live reindeer! Our families are going to come to our house, go to the parade and then go out to dinner. It was so much fun last year and we can’t wait to take Sebastian for a picture with Santa.
Saturday - Pork chops, rice and broccoli and cheese sauce.
Sunday - crock pot beef stew and biscuits
All these recipes are making me hungry. I think I’m finally getting my appetite back. I’m going to set up the weeble’s swing in the kitchen so he can hang out with me while I do the dishes and cook.
