Menu for the week of September 13, 2010.
The “rules” of our household diet can be found in the tab above labeled Hallee’s Galley and further explained in Our Diet.
I usually serve leftovers for lunch the next day, or we’ll save them during the week to graze lunch on the weekends. One meal a week, we eat whatever we want. This is usually our “Dinner Out” meal.
Almost all of the breads are homemade using fresh milled flour. I’ll continue to link to my recipes as I post them. Our daily bread is Whole Wheat Honey Oatmeal Bread.
Here’s the menu for my family for the week of September 13th. This is my first week with my new schedule, so I will be doing all of my baking on Monday. My husband has requested Whole Wheat Oatmeal Raisin Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Cookies. I also may try my hand at carrot cake – something I have never made before but something I’ve always wanted to try. A friend of mine posted on her Facebook a chocolate chip whole wheat pumpkin muffin recipe and said it was delicious. I have the rest of last year’s pumpkin in the freezer still, and pumpkins growing in the garden that will be used to replace the stash, so I need to do some pumpkin baking. I think chocolate chip pumpkin muffins is a brilliant use of my supply.

I try to cook a meal for the volunteers at BINGO with whom I work on Tuesday nights. Tuesdays are my long volunteer days, though, and some times I just can’t. This week, my goal is to make:
Spinach Lasagna, traditional lasagna, French Bread, garden salad
Wednesday:
Breakfast:
Dinner:
rotisserie chicken, Moroccan Rice with Dried Fruit & Nuts, green peas, garden salad
Thursday:
Breakfast:
Dinner:
chicken wings, homemade French fries, celery & carrots, homemade blue cheese dressing
Friday:

My sister is coming into town! They may be a bit late, so I’m going to make Heat Free Chili, Old Fashioned Cornbread, and a garden salad to just have on hand when they come in.
Saturday:
Breakfast:
Dinner:
Family Favorite Steak & Gravy, Wonderful Whipped Potatoes, Green Beans, garden salad, Granny Everman’s Yeast Rolls
Sunday:
Breakfast:
Dinner:
Mouthwatering Cornmeal Crusted Rainbow Trout, Hurry Up Hushpuppies, Hearty Sweet Potato & Black Bean Hash (I’m making such a hearty side, because my daughter typically doesn’t like most fish — I’m trying to have a good vegetarian meal option in case she decides she doesn’t like rainbow trout.)

Ahh … Saturday p.m. and Sunday a.m. are very “carby.” Hal’s soccer coach will appreciate that :)
If your family loves lots of chunks in their carrot cake, my FAVORITE one has pineapple in it.
http://allrecipes.com//Recipe/fourteen-carat-cake/Detail.aspx (I omit the coconut, and used half butter/half coconut oil for the veg oil.)
My family, unfortunately, does not, so I use the Cook’s Illustrated recipe with a cream-cheese whipped cream frosting.
http://community.cookinglight.com/showthread.php?t=39707 (carrot cake, same ratio for fat)
Frosting ratio:
8 oz softened cream cheese, sugar to taste, vanilla to taste – whip together with whisk, then add 1-2 cups heavy cream while mixer is running. Light, fluffy, and reasonably stable out of fridge.
That is awesome, Erin – thank you so much! I may try both and report back. :)
Your menu looks very yummy this week and I have spotted a couple of recipes that I would like to try. ;) I pray you have a bless time with your sister!
Blessings!
The Moroccan rice looks great! I love saffron and raisins. Have a great week!

We should do a carrot cake bake-off! Wouldn’t that be fun?
