The Return of the Weekly Menu
You might have noticed that the weekly menu hasn’t been around for weeks. Blame this little guy (or girl).
I have been so nauseaous that I haven’t been able to figure out what I want one hour before dinner, much less one week before. Sadly, one of my strongest food aversions has been tomatoes, a fruit I love in my non-gestating state. We got over 400 tomatoes off our our plants and I think I have had less than 10. I could barely stand to look at them as food much less eat them. They did not, however, go to waste. Besides the valiant efforts that Jeff made eating them fresh I was able to make liters of sauce as long as I treated it in my mind as simply a “procedure” to be followed, akin to doing a chemistry lab, rather than as making food.
Mercifully, at 17 weeks pregnant, the nasuea is finally dissapating and I feel up to the weekly menu challenge again. This week we’re eating:
Wednesday
- Sloppy Lentils
- On homemade hamburger buns using this bread recipe divided into one loaf of bread and 6 buns. They turned out really well and are much cheaper than the ones I usually buy. I’ll definitely be making a habit of doing this myself from now on.
Thursday
- Farmer’s Market
Friday
- Shahi Paneer
- Brown Rice
- Nann
- Mango Lassi
Saturday
- Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Spread (a spread I canned from our tomatoes and peppers earlier this summer) and Chevre
Sunday
- Black Bean Soup
- Cornbread
- Salad
Monday
- Baked Potatoes with Cheddar Cheese, Sour Cream, Green Onion, and Steamed Brocolli and Carrots
Tuesday
- Takeout or Out to Eat
