Menu Plan Monday 1/26
Posted in dinner, Fish, Menu Plan Monday, Recipes at 12:26 pm by frugalsophisticate
Last week was pretty standard. Tuesday we had chicken sausages and salad, after a long day of Inauguration Day coverage. Wednesday Josh made pasta because I had to work late. Thursday I made black bean/brown rice/corn tortilla bowls (Josh chopped all the condiments, because I was again working late. Friday Josh was working late, and he ate at work, while I had pizza.
Saturday I made tilapia with oven-roasted Brussels sprouts and potatoes. Since I was pressed for time and had used all the Parmesan cheese earlier in the week, I could not make Parmesan-crusted tilapia as I had planned. Instead I rubbed the tilapia with a mixture of garlic, curry powder, cayenne, and olive oil, and quickly pan-fried in more olive oil. When it was done, I squeezed a lemon over it and sprinkled it with fresh cilantro. This dish was a great hit, and accompanied the roasted Brussels sprouts and red potatoes surprisingly well.
Sunday we had a quick dinner of potstickers and edamame while watching a movie.
This week:
1) Red lentil soup, garlic bread.
2) Chicken Caesar salad.
3) Roast chicken, parmesan risotto, coleslaw.
4) Pear walnut cranberry Gorgonzola salad, bread.
5) Eggplant-zucchini ratatouille with polenta.
6) Cauliflower, green beans, and carrots with peanut coconut curry sauce, rice.
