Menu Plan Monday 7/20/09


Is it July? I mean, really, it has been exceptionally cool. It is weird. But on the total upside, we've gotten to go for some family bike rides in the evenings, checking out and exploring some local trails and parks. I've also been more prone to take the kids to the park. But it is July, despite the lack of heat and that means that it is Mike's birthday this week! I'll be making him a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. From a box. Yes, from a box. My guilt will be overcome by the sourdough bread that I'm making from my own wild yeast and the blueberry jam that I'm planning to put up this week.

Without further ramblings:

Monday: Italian Beef Roast (crockpot), roasted baby potatoes & dilled carrots
Tuesday: General Tso's Chicken with Rice & Green Salad
Wednesday: Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches & Chips (with meat leftover from Monday)
Thursday: Manicotti Alla Romana & Green Salad (Mike's birthday choice)
Friday: May or may not be at home....?
Saturday: Date Night (and I'm not talking figs)

I hope you will join me beginning August 5 for Crock Pot Wednesdays at Diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. I think it will be fun - and there will be prizes:)

I have never tried Philly Cheesesteak since I don't like red meat much. Could you do it with turkey meat? lol

Hi Becca!

Not sure if you'll get this or not - sorry about my lateness in replying. I'd use boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips. Add some Worcestershire sauce, salt & pepper and maybe some garlic powder to the meat when you are cooking it. Should be fantastic!
