Every Thursday is grocery day. I plan the family menus a week in advance and, usually on Wednesday, I write the menu, check the freezer and pantry, and compile a grocery list. Between Wednesday and Thursday evening, I gather coupons and check the Kroger ads and on Thursday evening after work, I hit the store. Why Thursday? Well, Todd works on Thursday evenings, Amelia is with her dad, and Mike and Gill are at their mom's house. I can take my time at the store and not worry about having little helpers attached to my cart, nor am I thinking that I need to hurry home to the family.
Here is the plan for the upcoming week:
Friday, January 28 (tonight): Veggie Lasagna (containing spinach, mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, along with three cheeses: ricotta, parmesan, and mozzarella), sauteed swiss chard, and italian bread
Saturday, January 29: Crunchy Turkey Tacos, Guacamole, Roasted Butternut Squash
Sunday, January 30: Bowtie Pasta with Turkey Italian Sausage and Pesto Sauce, Sauteed Collard Greens and Leeks
Monday, January 31: Barbequed Beef Sandwiches, Roasted Red Potatoes, Acorn Squash
Tuesday, February 1: Grommy's Klopsi (big meatballs with brown mushroom gravy), Mashed Potatoes, Carrots
Wednesday, February 2: Chicken Parmesan, Spaghetti, Salad
Thursday, February 3: Leftovers! and time for a new menu plan and grocery list...
