Monday Menu Plan
November 21, 2011
This is a big week for all foodies. Not only do we get to plan an extravagant meal that takes days of preparation, but we also have a few days off which means even more cooking for breakfasts, lunches and, of course, how to incorporate turkey leftovers. Below is what I have planned thus far:
Monday: Crockpot Saucy Italian Chicken (recipe courtesy of The Pajamas Chef)
Tuesday: Lunch for Dinner: Chicken Noodle Soup + Homemade Sammie
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: THANKSGIVING Menu
- Specialty Cocktail: Champagne Punch
- Appetizer: Cheese and Olive Plate
- Entrée: Malt Beer Brined Turkey with Malt Glaze
- Sides: Squash Casserole (thanks Mom!); Sage Sausage and Apple Dressing; Pimento Cheese Potatoes Gratin; Green Beans with Lemon and Garlic
- Condiments: Homemade Gravy; Cranberry Relish
- Dessert: TBD — I don’t “do” desserts, so will probably pick something up from the German Bakery
Friday: Leftovers, leftovers and more leftovers!
So what’s on your Thanksgiving Menu this week?

After a week indulging in she-crab soup {my fave!}, beer and cheese grits on Saint Simons Island, it’s time to get back to a healthy reality. I decided to peruse some of my favorite cooking magazines for inspiration this week and came up with an especially waist-friendly menu filled with fresh veggies, fish and lean meat.
Weekly Menu
Monday: Carolina BBQ Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries {WeightWatchers Magazine}
Tuesday: Fish Tacos {Saveur} with Spicy Southwestern Corn {Cooking Club Magazine}
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Raging Burrito
Friday: Penne with Asparagus, Artichokes, Favas and Peas {Bon Appetit}
What’s cookin’ in your kitchen this week?
