Weekly plan, 12/14

From the dairy this week: 2 half gallons of 2%, 1 dozen eggs

Monday: Kale and lentil soup (my own concoction using tomatoes, carrots, celery, kale, veggie stock, lentils, and cannelini beans, all of which I have on hand)

Tuesday: Andouille and arugula penne pasta (using andouille, feta, and cannelini beans from the pantry, and adding penne, white wine, pesto, grape tomatoes, and arugula to the shopping list).

Wednesday: Vegetable casserole (using the cannellinis and garbanzos, onion, garlic, polenta, and tomato, all of which I have on hand, plus some of the pesto and arugula left from yesterday's meal, and adding radicchio, and Italian cheese to the shopping list).

Thursday: Leftover kale and lentil soup

Friday: leftover pasta

Saturday: leftover vegetable casserole

Sunday: dinner with family

Shopping list: For our dinners we'll need penne, white wine, pesto, grape tomatoes, arugula, Italian cheese, and radicchio. I will also pick up some additional vegetables, probably caulifllower and chard, and lots of yummy fruits, but I'll wait to see what looks good and/or what's on sale htis week before I decide, although I think pomegranates would be fun with the Italian meal.
