Menu #2

Funny thing. The menu from last week ended up significantly different than as written. But, basically it just got switched around and I do have a little left over for this next week, so as a tool, the menu was quite helpful. The hit of the week was the Veggie Lasagna. I made double portions so we could have left overs, and only 2 pieces were left. And it was requested again this week. I am not making it this week, but will probably do it next week. Flub of the week - I forgot we were invited to dinner Monday night, so that meal got shifted to Tuesday, and then a few other changes were made. But, no harm done.

Now, for the week of October 1 - October 7.

At some point this week I will use up the rest of my rhubarb and make a cobbler. And we have tons of banana's now, and will undoubtably be making some banana bread this week.

Saturday

Breakfast and lunch are whatever People Can Find
Dinner - Pot roast, shredded, on sandwich rolls. Mac and cheese, creamed spinach (frozen).

Okay, that about does it. Tuesday and Wednesday have to be "prepare ahead" or "super quick" dishes because I am gone in the afternoons those days.

Thursdays every other week we have choir, communal meal and youth group at church. Can you see that eating together is important at our church? It's difficult to have communion without community!
