Glorified leftovers

I warmed up the pot roast from last week and made gravy for TMOTH. Macaroni and cheese for the boy-kids.

The leftover mashed potatoes became potato patties, a favorite of TMOTH's and surprisingly a big hit with the karate kid. [Small Man didn't like them at all.]

I made biscuits - and I need to go hide some so I have some for breakfast in the morning :)

Leftover broccoli warmed up, cantaloupe, and strawberries rounded out our meal.

Menu planning - second week of September

The major drawback last week was that Tuesday dinner took too long [we wound up having chicken and it was good, but I missed karate]. We'll see if bean soup works better!

Saturday: Tacos, leftover chicken, rice
Sunday: Pancakes
Monday: Shrimp
Tuesday: Bean Soup
Wednesday: Chicken
Thursday: Pasta
Friday: dinner out for karate

Lamb shanks

Pulled from the freezer - the lamb had basically fallen off the bones into the sauce. Eaten with elbow macaroni and french bread, plus extra carrots.

Grilled chicken skewers

With rice and biscuits. Kids and I also had fruit - an apple for the Small Man, a peach for the Karate Kid, a white nectarine for me.

Last night was cheese tortellini with fresh basil and parmesan. I also made garlic breadsticks from this recipe: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/soft-garlic-breadsticks

The Karate Kid thought the breadsticks ought to be bigger - so maybe making 16 instead of 20 and a bit shorter next time will help.

Clearly, I'm not following the menu plan, but just writing out possibilities helps with making decisions.
