Menu Plan for the Week: 1/29 – 2/4

How last week’s menu went:

Last week went well. I ended up not making the chili, but instead made a Kielbasa, peppers and onions dish that was sort of in-between this recipe and this one. It was yummy!

I did a little more baking than usual last week. I made 2 loaves of French Bread, some Oatmeal Blueberry Applesauce Muffins, and some Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. I also got back into making homemade yogurt.

I joined Jessica at Good (Cheap) Eats in a Pantry Challenge this last month, and it went really well. I actually notice the most difference in the refrigerator.  It’s actually looking pretty empty (for me). I think I need to keep this up on my own!

Skinny Tuna Noodle Casserole (made slightly less "skinny" by adding french fried onions)

Favorite meal from last week:

I wasn’t expecting this, but I’m picking the Skinny Tuna Noodle Casserole as the favorite! I did add french fried onions instead of bread crumbs on top, which I would do again. All 5 of us liked it!

This Week’s Menu Plan

Sunday

• Leftover Spinach and Bacon Quiche (I use half the bacon and part cream, part milk)

• broccoli and or salad

Tuesday 

Wednesday

• Spicy Honey-Brushed Chicken Thighs (another new recipe I’m trying)
• Salad

Thursday

• Quick Chickpea Curry (Well look at this, yet another new recipe this week. I don’t know what came over me!)
• rice or I might try naan

Friday

• Homemade Pizza (I’ll use this crust recipe, with part whole wheat flour. I double the recipe and also knead the dough after mixing.) I’m thinking about a ham and pineapple pizza this week.
• Raw veggies
