Menu Plan Monday: September 19th, 2011

Last week's Marinated Flank Steak, Shallot Green Beans, and brown rice pilaf

I'm really looking forward to fall weather, which has come a little early in our area this year! Fall weather means fall recipes! I'm also looking forward to working in a bit more freezer cooking while making dinner, which went well last week.

• Monday: Baked Ziti with Crispy Eggplant Meatballs and salad--I will share this recipe for the eggplant meatballs if it's a good one! (Extra sauce and meatballs will be saved for a future ziti, so all I will need to do is cook pasta, assemble, and bake.)
• Tuesday: Potato Kale Frittata with fresh fruit, salad, and rolls
• Wednesday: (Parents out) Salt and Pepper Chicken, steamed broccoli, and roasted baby red potatoes
• Thursday: (Parents out) Creamy Enchilada Casserole with steamed green beans
• Friday: Leftovers, steamed vegetables
• Saturday: Black-Eyed Pea Hambone Soup with Skillet Cornbread and Salad
• Sunday: Molasses Glazed Chicken Thighs (triple recipe, freeze 2 portions), Carrot Orzo, steamed asparagus
• Monday: Favorite Pot Roast over egg noodles with steamed carrots and broccoli

I also hope to use up some frozen bananas by making Whole Wheat Banana Bread in muffin form, which I'll freeze and use for snack for my daughter's classroom.
