Weekly Menu + Three Recipes
Before I get to the coming weeks menu, I want to share some recipes with you that I developed for last week’s dinners. From Saturday night we have:
Layered Vegetable Enchiladas and Enchilada Sauce
And from Tuesday night we have:
Another aside before we get to this week’s menu…remember the book,
Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day, that I mentioned last week might change my life? Well, I baked four loaves of bread this week and I honestly think that after the initial prep of making the dough (which is done once every two weeks – and only takes about 10 minutes) I only spent about two minutes dealing with each loaf (excluding baking time). 
I calculated that using the recipes in this book I can make a boule of organic bread for about $1.45 each; compared to buying a similar boule of organic bread at Whole Foods which will set you back at least $4.00. This coming week I going to try experimenting with using other flours in this bread (as opposed to the traditional wheat) such as spelt, rye, and kamut. Now onto this week’s menu (with appearances by the magic bread, of course.
Thursday: Eat dinner at the farmer’s market. As much as I enjoy them, I am getting a bit tired of pupusas. I might just eat fresh fruit, French fries and lemonade or something childish like that.
Friday: 4th of July! Black bean burgers, pasta salad, and an ice cream bombe (mint chocolate chip and cookies & cream ice cream)
Saturday: Our 7th wedding anniversary! Cheese fondue, with artisan bread, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, and apples for dipping
Sunday: Butternut squash and leek phyllo triangles
Monday: Baked potatoes with steamed broccoli, green onions, sour cream, butter, and cheddar
Tuesday: Sweet corn and squash soup, mixed greens, Gorgonzola, and walnut salad, bread
Wednesday: Jeff cooks
Happy 4th of July to everyone!
