monday menu planner

This post is inspired by GreenStyleMom who also started a NaBloPoMo group for blogging about green topics.

Here's my Monday Menu :

Monday - we attended a Common House Dinner (broccoli-cheddar soup with homemade whole wheat bread and salad, along with cookies and mint tea for dessert). Apparently, the bread is reportedly very easy to make and doesn't require any kneading. I don't yet have the recipe, but I'm hoping it's really that simple, because it's tasty.

Tuesday - squash gratin (leftover from sunday) with tofu added and stir-fried bok choi.

Wednesday - Dinner Club. We cook - will be making Quinoa-Kale Chowder with cornbread.

Thursday - Chicken stew (hopefully in the slow cooker) and maybe I can convince Steve to try to make the bread.

Friday - well, maybe Cabbage Soup (supposedly better than it sounds) ... possibly there will be a Common House potluck, so perhaps we'll do that instead.

You'll notice that rutabagas, turnips, and beets don't have a prominent part in this week's menu. The problem is that I'll be traveling for work to Colorado for most of next week (definitely a new post), and I'm guessing Steve isn't likely to get creative with the several pounds in the frig! So I'll have to look up long-term storage options. Maybe we can keep them in our garage?
