There are a few repeats on the menu this week, things I didn’t make last week, dinners I was too tired to make, switched up desserts at the last minute, that kind of thing. It’s fine with me – it just makes it easier to fill in the blanks. I’m also very pleased because at Christmas, a neighbor unexpectedly gave us a spiral cut ham and I’m going to glaze it and bake it on Sunday. Erik has to help out at the liquor store Sunday so it will be a nice thing for him to come home to, I think. Anyway, blah blah blah, here’s the menu.
Saturday
Dinner: roasted pork made into tacos (on corn tortillas with pico de gallo and refried beans)
Sunday
Breakfast: eggs (did I mention we got a dozen fresh laid eggs from a local dude’s chickens? We did. They are beyond delicious. I want to have my own chickens so bad, there aren’t even words to describe how bad I want them), garden hash browns, bacon
Dinner: orange glazed ham, creamy green beans, mashed potatoes, buttermilk fantails
Monday
Breakfast: breakfast biscuit sandwiches
Dinner: cuban sandwiches (with leftover pork roast and Sunday’s ham), french fries, corn (it’s fresh corn on the cob time again! I’m so glad!)
Tuesday
Breakfast: blueberry buttermilk muffins, poached eggs, leftover ham
Dinner: shredded beef burritos, rice
Wednesday
Breakfast: eggs with bacon and scallion grits, toast
Dinner: beer and onion braised chicken stew, leftover rolls
Thursday
Breakfast: “one bowl” refrigerator waffles
Dinner: that grilled chicken breast over charro beans and rice that I didn’t make last week
Friday
Breakfast: cinnamon pecan oatmeal drizzled with maple syrup
Dinner: ginger scallion beef and broccoli, rice
Baking: I ended up making banana bread with some rapidly blackening bananas and carrot quick bread for Erik for lunch desserts last week, so I will be making that cinnamon chocolate bundt cake this week instead. Also on deck: Cuban bread for Monday’s sandwiches and I think that’s all I have for baking plans. This weekend, instead of baking, should be spent starting that Spring Cleaning 2011 spreadsheet I made a few weeks ago – I’ve got some deep cleaning to do, people!
mmmmm, cuban sandwiches. that would have made an easter ham okay for me in the end
i love love love farm fresh eggs. i don’t know what it is about them that makes them so damn good. i mean, i know the organic veggies and fruits are supposed to be better for you, but honestly, with the exception of honeycrisp apples, i’ve never been able to tell a difference. so why can i tell a difference with milk and eggs? weird.
i can’t tell a difference either with organic fruits and veg, to be honest. except they cost a lot more
with eggs and milk maybe the animal’s diet and the no processing or hanging around for so long waiting to be shipped somewhere has something to do with it? I was reading a blog post from a lady who was recapping what owning chickens was like and since she was letting them eat scraps from their cooking, the eggs were super tasty and flavorful. I want chickens!
dude, i want chickens too. so bad. and quail.
quail would be fun. and delicious.
