Menu Plan for the Week of Jan 4, 2009

After finding it difficult to put anything in the freezer because I have so many servings of leftovers there, I decided that this would be “clean out the freezer (and pantry)” week. The only thing I’m buying is fresh produce. The menu is mostly gluten-free.

Breakfasts: Healthy baked oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, smoothies

Lunches: Leftovers, miso soup w/ rice and veggies

Dinners:
Sunday: Black eyed pea, collard green, and sweet potato stew (using leftover New Year’s peas); fruit salad

Monday: Roasted Brussels sprouts, baked beans, green salad, fruit

Tuesday: Indonesian spicy rice w/ egg, Chinese veggies, fruit

Wednesday: Mock Chipotle bowls w/ black beans, rice, zucchini, spicy chicken, avocado, and tomatoes

Thursday: Salmon and potato cakes, braised red cabbage, sweet potatoes, sliced pears

Friday: Lentil stew w/ tomatoes, apple-ginger coleslaw

Saturday: Spinach and white beans, Riblets (these are not gluten-free), ambrosia

For more menus, see Org Junkie; and for gluten-free ideas, see this week’s Gluten Free Menu Swap.

So many wonderful things! Chipotle bowl night looks awesome! I also love lentils and one of my fav veggies are brussell sprouts!
