2021 Week 37 Menu Plan
The 2021 week 37 menu plan is complete. Ultimately the meals are simple and geared to utilize perishables in order to prepare for our upcoming trip. Unfortunately I am posting the plan late. Subsequently I have included the success of our Tuesday evening family dinner.
Breakfast
The plan for breakfast will be to finish the frittata and create a repeat oatmeal recipe using the ripe peaches I have on hand. In addition the Greek eggs on Saturday will finish up the eggs and a multitude of remaining vegetables. Finally the Sunday biscuits are in the freezer and will supply a quick breakfast on the way to the airport.
Lunch
Only one new recipe is planned for lunch and the gazpacho is a carry over from last week. Hopefully any leftovers can be frozen.
Dinner
Nothing new is planned for dinner this week. I am concentrating on cleaning out the refrigerator. My goal is to have zero waste when we leave for 12 days.
Hits
Our Sunday welcome home dinner featured Asiago Chicken and I tried a new recipe for the French green beans. The ‘Ole Buckeye found organic green beans at Costco. Maybe they were the best green beans I have ever had.
Family Dinner
A family dinner was thrown in at the last minute. Luckily I had a meat loaf in the freezer and a head of cabbage that needed to be used. I had made a peach cobbler weeks ago that I pulled from the freezer for dessert. Voila’…dinner.
I have had so many requests for my glorified cabbage lately that I will just post an image of the recipe card. First I must explain the changes I have made over time. I no longer use the soup in the recipe, nor the bread crumbs…they are not needed. As a result the recipe is more compliant with our eating plan. For the first time I added a few tablespoons of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of Pepper Jack cheese to pair better with the meatloaf. Dinner was a success!
Recap
Ultimately we had a great week. We welcomed home our daughter after 7 weeks and then the entire family got together for an evening of great eating and a sunset cruise with the dolphins. Life is good. Bon Appetit.
