A while ago I noticed other people posting menus for the week. At the time, I wasn't cooking anything exciting, so I didn't blog about it, but I did start making a menu. I come up with 2 weeks worth of food (only 8 days with Anthony's work and bowling schedule) and then head to the commisary. Then, every weekend, I plan out the menu for the week. I try to cook foods that will end up with microwavable leftovers (casseroles, shredded chicken, hamburger meat things) early in the week so I have things to take for lunch or eat while Anthony works. Well, now I'm trying out 1-2 new recipes every couple weeks so I thought I'd share my menu and recipes.
Sunday-Stuffed Bell Peppers from Kimmie
Monday-Tortellini w/ Alfredo Sauce (Bertolli's)
Salad
Roll
Tuesday- Mexican Lasagna (recipe below)
Fiesta Corn (DelMonte with a sprinkle of Cayenne pepper)
Wendesay-Anthony bowls, so we at at the bowling ally
Thursday- Hawaiin Chicken Kabobs (directions below)
Friday-whatever I decide to heat up since it will just be me
Saturday-Peppered Steak
Rice
Salad
Recipes from above:
