Day 51 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~ stir-fry for my men and me, the girls will have 'mustard dip' (bagels, cheese and veggies cut into small pieces, dip into a tiny bowl of mustard using toothpicks)

Saturday~ (one game and two practices, none interfere with dinner) homemade minestrone soup with homemade bread

Sunday~ (one early morning game) pork roast, yorkshire pudding, roasted carrots (the girls will have leftover soup)

Monday~ (6:30 game) chicken soup with homemade bread (I'll boil the chicken to make the broth, but not add the meat to the soup- I'll save it for a later meal)

Tuesday~ not sure yet- we've picked Tuesdays as our 'try a new recipe' day, so I'll have to take a look through my stack of clippings ;-)

Wednesday~ (7:00 game) potato and bean bake

Thursday~ fish cakes, roast potatoes, mixed frozen veg. (Shmoo eats fish, Gracie will eat the potatoes and veggies with a yogurt after dinner)
