Menu thread 9-1
OK, I need to get back into planning a menu and sticking with it. I'm attempting some of the meals I found on Pinterest! Here's what I'm thinking for this week:
Tonight- Lemon Garlic Orzo Soup (also attempting to cook for the this week's lunch and freezer- pumpkin white bean & beef chili, vegetarian black bean chili & fresh marinara sauce)
Mon.- shredded pork and pineapple tacos, black beans
Tues.- Greek style pork tenderloin, lemony rice pilaf & roasted broccoli
Wed.- Slow cooker beef barley soup (& sandwiches for DH because he claims souo isn't a meal lol)
Thurs.- Penne ala vodka with baby peas
Fri.- take out

Sure, I was going to try the Skinnytaste resipe but I'm replacing the ground turkey with beef. I'll post a review after I make it (which may be tomorrow). hoping it comes out good. I will not be telling DH there's pumpkin in there lol.

Re: Menu thread 9-1
Thank you. Now that you say that, I think I actually made the ST one before, lol. I'm not big on ground turkey so I would probably like it much better with beef!
