Weekly Menu

Since Candy over at Mommypalooza decided to resurrect her weekly menu plan and link up I figure I might as well stick mine up here too. I write my menu and shopping list on a piece of paper each week. Then, if I get to the grocery store(s) and something isn't available or is too expensive I know what changes to make and which meal is impacted.  I also have a handy Evo phone so I can quickly look up alternate recipes as well as double check if something is gluten free.  After shopping, I write the menu on a dry erase board that hangs near the pantry.  It's a large board so I also have the different grocery stores I frequent listed on there so that as items become needed I can add them to the appropriate list.  I've been known to snap a quick picture of the board so that I know what is needed instead of having to write it all down on paper too.
Here is this week's menu:
Sunday:  grilled salmon with lemon herb butter, sweet potato and butternut squash (from our garden) fries, quinoa pilaf
Monday: homemade calzones with choice of fillings from salami (store was out of pepperoni)  cheese, mushrooms, sausage, spinach, broccoli, and bacon; dip in tomato sauce; green salad
Tuesday: shredded chicken tacos with homemade beans, avocado, Mexican rice
Wednesday: Carmelized chicken noodle soup
Thursday: Grilled fish, Lemon-Herb Zucchini Fettuccine  (made this last week and it was loved by all. For this week, I'm skipping the chicken in it and serving the fish on the side.)
Friday: Grilled honey-mustard chicken cutlets with onions (from the current issue of Everyday Food on p43), green salad, brown rice
