Menu Planning Mania: 1 ~ 7 February
Posted By FarmerJ on February 1, 2010
Do you like my little ‘Menu Planning Mania’ graphic? I created it quick-like this morning ~ I thought it would be fun to have something that reflects Valentine’s Day and the month of February as we post our menus each week. Feel free to grab it for use on your blog, if you’d like. All I ask is that you credit me with a little link back to here.
Anyway, on with the menu! Right off the starting line, I’m reserving the right to change the menu this week on any given night. I don’t know why, but nothing is sounding good at the moment. Hopefully that changes rather quickly, lest I get that patented ‘eyebrow look’ from Darling Husbie when I serve him his plateful of food each night. [tee hee!] And, with Valentine’s Day around the corner, I want to stay on the Good Girl list!
Monday ~ Green Chile Chicken and Rice Goop Casserole; Sweet Corn; Garlic Bread
Tuesday ~ Shepard’s Pie; Buttermilk Biscuits
Wednesday ~ Grilled Bratwurst; Roasted Ranch Potatoes; Sauteed Yellow Squash, Zucchini and Onions; Cheesy Breadsticks
Thursday ~ Sausage with Biscuits and Gravy; Eggs; Mandarin Oranges
Friday ~ Chicken Alfredo; Broccoli; Sauteed Yellow Squash with Onions; Garlic Bread
Saturday ~ Cheese Burgers; Homemade Freedom Fries; Cowgirl Beans
Sunday ~ Chicken and Dumplings; Tossed Salad
Desserts this week will be centered around the some of the fresh produce from last summer’s garden that’s in the freezer [I've really got to be diligent about making room for this summer's harvest!]. There’s still a ton of shredded zucchini, carrot puree, and sliced strawberries. Perhaps some Zucchini Bread, Carrot Muffins and Strawberry Shortcake will magically appear on the dessert platter?! Does anyone have a good recipe for homemade shortcake?
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I gathered my myrrh along with my balsam, I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends, drink, and be drunk with love!

as always looks good. I am thinking of making a trifle tomorrow for dessert for the rest of the week. Still got some raspberries in the freezer that I could add to it.
The teapot is one where I pour boiling water in it from the kettle. I take it you don’t drink too much tea?

I am so with you about using up the harvest so we can make room for the next one. We have been eating from the pantry all along, but it still looks like October in there!
Your plan sounds yum, and I love the graphic!
Raspberry Trifle sounds good, Gill! Well, I drink tea, but I’m just a novice. Heehee! I heat my water in the microwave in a Pyrex measuring cup and then pour the hot water over the tea bag in my cup. While I enjoy tea, coffee is where my heart is!
I know, Laura! If someone were to look in the freezer, they would never believe we’ve been eating fresh garden veggies all winter ~ there is still so, so much in there.
