Menu Plan Monday – 4/27

April 26, 2009

I have a bizarre work week this week, so here’s the plan….

Monday (work day): Daddy’s cooking ??? I have a late meeting, so he’s doing dinner duty! I’m guessing grilled cheese and soup, but who knows?

Tuesday (work day): Toastadas – Just add a mix of refried beans and salsa on top of a toastada. Top with cheese, and bake at 350 until the cheese melts. Yum!

Wednesday: Baked fish, oven-baked thin-sliced potatoes (spray with olive oil & they get crispy), salads

Thursday (work day): Grilling Night! Grilled chicken, Pasta Roni noodles, green beans

Friday (work day): Homemade Pizza

Saturday: Grilled Chicken Salads (We’re grilling extra chicken Thursday to use for these.)

Sunday: Beef Burgundy

Beef Burgundy Recipe:

1 T canola oil
1 lb. beef sirloin steak cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 c. onion (more if you like onions)
2 t. finely chopped garlic (or Tastefully Simple’s Garlic Garlic)
1/2 t. pepper
2 c. baby carrots
1/4 c. red wine or tomato juice
1 can (10 3/4 oz.) Campbell’s condensed golden mushroom soup
5 cups (8 oz.) uncooked egg noodles
1 T. parsley

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over med-high heat.
Add beef, onion, garlic, and pepper.
Cook 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Beef should be browned, and onion should be transclucent.
Add carrots, wine, and soup.
Transfer mixture into an ungreased 1-1/2 quart casserole.
Cover & bake 1 hour or until beef & carrots are tender.
Remove from oven & keep covered.
Meanwhile, cook and drain egg noodles as directed on package.
Serve beef mixture over cooked noodles. Sprinkle with parsley.
