Menu Plan Monday March 7th week in review

I saw that someone else did a week in review with their menu plan from the previous week, and I thought what a great idea!  Then you can add photos of what you made AND get the family opinion poll as well.
So here's what we had last week.




Monday: chicken quesadillas, salad, tortilla chips
I used the leftover chicken from Friday night, added some enchilada sauce as I warmed it on the stove, added some quesadilla cheese and tortilla shells.  Easy peasy!
Tuesday: homemade calzones
Homemade pizza dough rolled out with spaghetti sauce, mini turkey pepperoni, mozzarella, and smoked turkey lunchmeat shredded stuffed inside.  Seal with fork pressed edges, bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
Wednesday: hot sour soup, veggie tofu stir-fry over brown rice
Thursday: Hamburger Helper lasagna stretched with a bag of mixed veggies and made with ground turkey.  Great quick prep before running out to girl scouts!  Shockingly they even ate most of the veggies.
Friday: Slow cooked Roast beef, mashed potatoes, salad, green beans, challah and grape juice.
Saturday: ONEG delight with potluck after services.
Sunday: pasta bar at birthday party.

For fun one morning we made something 'new' with the beautiful red pears that were on sale.  We called them Perfect Pear Parfaits.  We wedged the pears, put vanilla yogurt on top, some almond dark chocolate granola, and then just a little more yogurt.  All organic and all yum.
Some of our other breakfast ideas this week included our challah toast (french toast style with leftover challah) topped with organic blueberries, omelettes, yogurt/fruit/cinnamon toast, and chocolate gravy with biscuits and bananas.  The only complaint I heard was not enough chipotle Tabasco sauce to go around for the eggs.
Lunches are always really rushed in our house so cold cut sandwiches, mac & cheese, and soups along with leftovers are rounded out on slower days by popcorn chicken salad and min-burgers on hawaiian sweet rolls.
Have a yummy week!
