Monday Plan day  7/20

Last week, on our return from vacation, we didn't plan at all but flew by the seat of our pants, but this week we are returning to our meal planning fun.

Organic delivery this week (I finally gave in and increased our weekly box order from the "bitty box" to the "small box" so we'll be getting even more food now): green peppers, vidalia onions, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, pears, plums, kiwi, grapes, bananas, tomatoes, and potatoes, and I added some spices to our order: mint, cilantro, and chilves.

Dairy delivery this week: Three 1/2 gallons of skim milk (also a permament order increase), cottage cheese, eggs, butter

Monday - Grilled chicken (from our freezer) and Peruvian quinoa stew (using quinoa and veggie broth from our cupboard, zucchini from our garden, and onions, garlic, tomatoes, carrots, etc. from our fridge and counter, celery from the store)

Tuesday - Broccoli (from our delivery) and stuffed portobello mushrooms (using cheese from the fridge, walnuts from the cupboard, breadcrumbs from the heal of last week's bread, and more of the broth opened for yesterday's recipe, mushrooms from store). This is a vegetarian meal.

Wednesday - 13 bean chili (using beans from our cupboard, onion and garlic from our deliveries, crushed tomatoes from our cupboard).  This is another vegetarian meal.

Thursday - Cauliflower (from our delivery) and leftover chicken made into chicken salad (using the remaining celery and almonds from our cupboard, olive oil mayo from the store, and homemade buns)

Friday - Leftover quinoa and leftover mushrooms

Saturday - Zucchini (from our garden) and leftover chili

Sunday - Pesto burgers (using basil from our garden, cheese and hamburger from our fridge/freezer, tomato from our delivery, and homemade buns)

Monday - Leftover burgers.

Grocery list - This week's dinner shopping list includes portobello mushrooms, celery, olive oil mayo, and crushed tomatoes and almonds to replenish our cupboard.  I am also going to look for meat and cheese on sale.  For breakfasts we need orange juice and I will look for good cereals on sale.  And, as has become our usual shopping treat, we will probably stop by the sushi counter to bring home lunch.
