weekly meal planning
September 23, 2011
happy friday, friends! how has your week been? i’ve enjoyed so much sharing this space with you and getting to know a few of you better. each friday i’ve decided to post dinner ideas from recipes that i’ve cooked throughout the week, and encourage you to share yours as well! eventually, i hope that we can meet here on fridays and discuss recipes that we’ve had success with, to inspire the following week’s dinner plans. sound good? this week i made:
monday: black bean burgers (subbed egg with ener-g egg replacer) with grilled corn and roasted peppers
tuesday: creamy corn chowder
wednesday: pizza with left over chowder and fresh berry cobbler
thursday: old bay tofu cakes (sooo yummy!) with rosemary roasted purple potatoes and sauteed kale.
friday: simple biscuits* with fresh cut pineapple
*simple biscuits: combine equal parts sour cream (i use tofutti brand, but regular whole fat will work as well) and self-rising flour in a mixer. drop biscuits on a greased pan and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until slightly browned on top. (and seriously, these will beat your grandma’s complicated butter biscuits every time!).
what have you been cookin’ this week?
welcome lovelies! my name is bonnie and this is where i roost. i hope you'll grab a cup of tea and make yourself comfy- we look forward to getting to know you! you can learn more about me and why i love to blog 
I must say I have always wanted to do a meal plan. Especially after reading “The Help.” I think it would be fun. Plus it would be a good idea to cook at home more!
Thanks for the tips! Love the blog.
I’m the worst at making a plan & following recipes. BUT I love to cook! Kinda a funny combo. I want to try you black bean burgers.
Bon – how IS veganism going??
I really need to start a weekly meal planner. berry cobbler sounds delicious right now (well, any time really)
sort of a shameless plug, but not really… :)
a while back I did a guest post right here on GHTR about meal planning…if bonnie’s weekly menu ideas have inspired you, take a peek at that post for more ideas and a little menu printable: http://www.goinghometoroost.com/2011/lifestyle/meal-planning-with-oh-buckets/
can’t wait to try those biscuits…just made a *tasty* blueberry compote that might be awesome on top with a little fresh whipping cream!
lindsay, it’s going wonderfully! never felt better, stronger or healthier in my life. david and i both really love it!
joanna, not really! i think every cook has that dilemma occasionally. truth be told, these posts are to help me as well! now i can look back and be inspired by previous meals, haha.
