Menu Plan for Week of April 12, 2009
Happy Easter (or Passover or gorgeous spring day) to everyone. The favorite items last week were the yellow split pea soup and spicy stir-fry that I made with shrimp, napa cabbage, and broccoli. One of the hubby’s favorite foods is ham, so I looked for a small ham at the market. Since I didn’t wish to purchase 15 lbs of ham (the smallest quarter ham at the store), I decided to pickup a petite Niman Ranch hamsteak that will last for 2-3 meals. We are also enjoying the asparagus which seems quite good this year.
Breakfast: Healthy baked oatmeal (with extra blueberries and no apples), boiled eggs, smoothies
Lunch: Leftovers, hummus, raw vegetable sticks, fruit
Dinners:
Sunday: Ham w/ pineapple salsa, asparagus, chipotle sweet potatoes, strawberry-banana sorbet
Monday: Ham, sweet and sour swiss chard, rice, salad
Tuesday: Riblets (not gluten free), spinach and chickpeas, sweet potatoes, fruit salad
Wednesday: Indonesian spicy rice w/ leftover ham, stir-fried Chinese vegetables, orange coleslaw
Thursday: out
Friday: Spinach and artichoke frittata, spicy sweet potato wedges, broccoli salad
Saturday: Senate bean soup made with white beans, salad

Hi EmmyJMommy, the recipes linked are all my own that I’ve tested and reworked before posting. I must make the Indonesian spicy rice 2-3 times each month. Do let us know if you try it. Thanks for visiting.
Hi jsprik,
Thanks.
the baked oatmeal looks great! have a fun week.
[...] Elizabeth has a lovely baked oatmeal dish with flax on her menu, and chipotle sweet potatoes sound delish. Hooray for Kim! She’s officially going to be the mom of a teenager very soon. Check out her menu, she got a lot planned and her Easter menu, and had me drooling at the thought of lemon bundt cake. [...]
We love Grilled Aspargus with crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Yummy!
You have some terrific meals planned for this week.
Happy MPM!
