I’m not doing a great job of posting menu plans. I usually scribble them on notepads and keep them on the fridge and it’s late in the week when I remember I should be sharing them.
You see that I cook extras and cook ahead so I don’t have to cook every day. I’m still not sure that plan meets with the approval of everyone in this house but .. the kitchen is open for anyone to use if they don’t like what/how I am cooking, right?
Here’s the menu for this week:
Monday:
Seared Salmon
Black Eyed Peas with Okra
Pan Fried Potatoes
Tuesday:
Brisket, Smoked (leftover from the weekend)
Baked Beans
Baked Potatoes
Notes:
- If you don’t like spcy beans, leave off the chipotle chili powder. It’s pretty spicy. We like it but Addie wouldn’t be able to eat it.
- The recipe calls for 2 – 22 oz. cans of Bush’s Grillin’ Beans. That makes enough for several meals (with two people) but they are so good – we never mind having them for leftovers. You could half the recipe though.
Wednesday:
Salmon (leftover)
Kale Chips
Chilly Dilly Carrots
Thursday:
Oven BBQ Chicken
Baked Beans (leftover)
Eggplant Parmesan
Friday:
Sweet & Sour Meatloaf
Mushroom Pasta Pilaf
Green Beans
Notes:
1. I usually double the recipe and make 2 larger loaves. That gives me a meatloaf for the freezer (I freeze the sauce in a separate container), and the larger loaf gives us enough for another meal of meatloaf plus enough for meatloaf sandwiches.

I am going to cook the meatloaf tomorrow and serve with my navy beans. Definately will be trying out the carrots and pasta recipes. Thanks for sharing.
A friend brings baked beans to our get togethers. It is so good. She adds a lot of slightly cooked bacon and adds a teaspoon of oregano to each can of beans.
It is hard for me to type tomorrow as I usually type as tomorio. My grandson lived with us until he was about 6. One morning on the way to work he (3yrs) was of course in the back seat of my car and asked me, “Is today tomorio from yesterday?” I thought a moment and told him yes. I had told him he could have or do something the day before on tomorrow so he was making sure it was the day it would happen. Don’t you love the way their little minds think?

This recipe has cooked bacon, and I put raw bacon on top. Oregano – that sounds interesting.
That is so cute. Yes. Sometimes the way kids think, in their simple and realistic ways, is better than we adults think . . especially those engineers! 🙂

Everything sounds delicious! Can I come to your house and eat? If I lived closer, I’m sure Judy’s Kitchen would become my favorite restaurant.
