My buttons aren't working for some reason- the correct links are at the bottom of this post! Lent is always an interesting time for me to do a meal plan. The kids and I are Catholic, which means that my daughter and I won't be eating meat on Fridays. My son is too young to "have" to avoid meat yet, but usually he eats what DD and I eat. My husband is not Catholic, and, he's always believed that it's not a real meal if there's no meat. I could easily wind up being a short-order cook if I'm not careful! So... here's the plan for this week:
- MONDAY:
- LUNCH: We'll all be home for lunch today since it's a holiday. I'm craving some of my own recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup. I'll put it in my smaller crockpot while supper cooks in my big one!
- SUPPER: new recipe: Crazy Chicken (crockpot) over rice, tossed salad
- TUESDAY: Fat Tuesday! pancakes, bacon, fresh fruit
- WEDNESDAY: Tomato-Basil Soup, and my favorite Ultimate Grilled Cheese (cold meat sandwich for DH)
- THURSDAY: family favorite meatloaf (7pts+), mashed potatoes (3pts+), green beans (0pts+)
- FRIDAY: chili for DH & DS (will cook some extra hamburger Thursday night when I make the meatloaf) , my Potato Soup recipe for DD & I
- SATURDAY: homemade pizza

ReplyDeleteAmy, your menu sounds so good!!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for the Ash Wednesday links--they came up in my reader, though I don't see them here. They were a huge help to me in my admittedly belated planning!
ReplyDeleteWhile my family does not abstain from meat for Lent, I do love to have at least one meatless meal a week. You have some great ideas here! Thanks for dropping by my blog today:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to the Lent Meal Plan link-up! That Broccoli Cheese Soup sounds YUMMY!! Your husband sounds like the girls I used to work with. They HATED LENT. They were all how can you NOT eat meat? It's just second nature when you were raised that way. And really people its 6 days a year I think we can survive! Anyway so I sympathize with you and your hubby :)
ReplyDeleteWe must think a like I posted grilled cheese and tomato basil soup also :) yumm
