Backward Menu Planning Continued

Sunday January 29
  • Meatloaf
  • Twice-baked Potatoes
  • Green Bean Casserole
  • Green Salad
  • Ice cream and brownies
This menu would have benefited from some rolls or bread and butter, too. And, of course, fruit instead of ice cream and brownies for dessert.

Monday January 30. The pork chops were from a freezer menu plan of Leanne Ely's. I think they were called Spicy Citrus Pork Chops or something like that. I had put them in the freezer a while ago when we bought a family size package of pork chops. Anyway, maybe I overcooked them, but they were tough and not that good. There were four in the package that I had stashed away, so we'll be having the other two as leftovers tonight.
  • Pork chops
  • Brown rice
  • Carrots, Broccoli, Cauliflower
  • Green salad
Tuesday January 31
  • Mexican Lasagna, or, in other words, that Chicken Tortilla Bake stuff
  • Canned corn
  • Carrot and celery sticks, and cucumber slices
  • Fruit salad made of fresh strawberries, a pear, an orange, and half a banana
Wednesday February 1
  • Leftover pork chops
  • Mashed potatoes and gravy
  • Green beans (from the freezer) and carrots
  • Peach cobbler (maybe)
