A new feature: this week's menu

One of the more challenging, yet rewarding, tasks of the week is to plan menus. I thought I would share mine for your entertainment, but also for future reference for me, when I get stuck. Without further ado...

Sunday - Beef stew in the new pressure cooker. Used chuck from Costco, Guiness, thyme, oregano, bay leaf. Added carrots, celery, potatoes and pearl onions. (I think I'm the only one who eats the onions.) Should be enough leftovers for a dinner later in the week.

Monday - Catfish, pan fried in a cast iron pan, coated with rice flour in deference to Susan's wheat gluten sensitivities. Also - artichokes - four for $2.60 at Trader Joe's.

Tuesday - Spaghetti the easy way - bottled sauce from Costco, turkey meatballs from Trader Joe's. Probably wouldn't use TJ's meatballs again - too soft and unnatural! Susan had some of the leftover stew because the meatballs had wheat flour added. Veggies was fresh broccoli, microwaved.

Wednesday - Rib eye steak. Ellie will get some for her birthday the following day. Veggies will be fresh carrots.

Thurs - Gordon and I will be visiting Westmont College. Susan and Lauren may have ham steak from Costco (sense a pattern here?).

Fri - Beef stew for Susan and Lauren.

Sat - I dunno.
