Day 44 or, a meal menu

**Last year I was planning seasonal menus, but with a new year beginning we want to try out some new recipes and revisit old favourites. I'll be posting weekly meal menus here and cross-posting on our food blog. If you would like a recipe, let me know and I'll gladly post it!

notes: Gracie and Shmoo eat very little meat- they are what I call 'preferred vegetarians'- they would prefer to never eat meat, but I'm mean ;-). Shmoo is allergic to milk, so any reference to 'milk' means rice milk.

Dinners this week (explanation and criteria here):

Friday~ hot beef sandwiches with gravy (the girls will have bagels with cream cheese and cucumbers)

Saturday~ (Valentine's Day!) two practices and a game, but we're not sure who will be feeling well enough to play- Gracie's down for the count now, too. I think we'll have 'brunch' for supper, which is a favourite of everyone: soft-boiled eggs (or eggs-in-a-glass), hashbrowns, breakfast sausages, with two mini pies for dessert (strawberry-rhubarb and blueberry...yum!)

Sunday~ (6PM game) ham, dairy-free scalloped potatoes, brussel sprouts (the girls will have the veggies and lots of parmesan on their potatoes)

Monday~ (Family Day) Hubby will be home, so he can make his famous mini pizzas on English muffins

Tuesday~ ham and broccoli casserole (the girls eat this, but pick out the ham ;-)

Wednesday~ pork loin chops, risotto, frozen mixed veggies (the girls will have the veggies and lots of parmesan on their rice)

Thursday~ homemade fish cakes, oven-roasted potatoes, frozen mixed veggies (Shmoo eats fish cakes, but Gracie doesn't- she'll have the veggies and potatoes with a slice of cheese on the side)
