2023 Week 25 Menu Plan

The 2023 week 25 is complete, although I am hoping to have a family meal at some point during the week while everyone is home. As usual the plan is subject to change.

Breakfast

Oatmeal is the plan for breakfast all week and relies on proven recipes.

Peanut Butter Overnight Oats

Field Berry Oatmeal

Upside Down Peach Oatmeal

Lunch

Lentils, quinoa and beans are taking center stage for lunches and all of the recipes are new and untried. 

Quinoa and Black Bean Salad

Lentil Soup

Black Bean Stew

Lentil Salad

Dinner

I will be testing 2 new recipes for dinner…orzo and pasta. The plan for roasted sausage and peppers definitely strays from our healthy eating agenda, but this family favorite was calling my name especially with a sale on the sausage.

Dump and Bake Vegan Tuscan Orzo

Pan Roasted Ribeye with Buttery Mushrooms

Gochujang Glazed Salmon

Zucchini Parmesan Pasta

Hits and Misses

Lots of “Hits” this week, all worthy of repeating. There were 2 new delicious salads that I have linked below. I was especially happy with the Italian salad. I made enough to feed the entire family when we celebrated Father’s day with homemade pizza grilled on the EGG. (My son has become a pizza master.) The salad was a perfect accompaniment and will be repeated often. 

Farro with Wild Mushrooms

Italian Salad

Italian Dressing

Berry Salad with Arugula and Burrata

Mushroom Lentil Bolognese

Recap

We enjoyed a great week of eating without a lot of time spent in the kitchen. Unfortunately I neglected taking pictures so this post leaves much to be desired. However it does accomplish what I need most and that is to have a week of planned meals, ingredients available, and no last minute “What’s for dinner?” panics. The journey continues. Bon Appetit!
