Menu Plan for the Week of January 25 – January 31
Sunday Dinner - Just me! Pumpkin fries (trying to use up this guy) with organic ketchup, yogurt and oranges and peanut butter.
Monday Dinner - Fried rice (Bobby’s request) and a veggie stir-fry for me (with Teriyaki sauce).
Tuesday Dinner - Mabu Dofu (spicy tofu – it’s Chinese; I chop up some tofu and add a prepackaged sauce to it) with rice (Bobby) and couscous (me).
Wednesday Dinner – Couscous with chickpeas, scallions, sun-dried tomatoes, and cilantro. Salad on the side.
Thursday Dinner – Egg scrambles with leftover veggies.
Friday/Saturday Dinner – one night out (Pho – noodle soup – Vietnamese); one night Curry (pineapple, tofu, water chestnuts, red pepper, onions, etc…) served over rice/couscous. If it’s good I’ll post the recipe.
Desserts: strawberries (2 pounds for $3.99), yogurts & granola, oranges, peaches, vanilla soy ice cream, and going to Red Mango in Palo Alto.
Lunches: pumpkin fries, omelettes, nut butter sammies, hummus sammies, lunch meat sammies for Bobby, veggies, fruit, and leftovers. (almost the same list as last week, but I may get more creative since I’ll be home for lunchtime.)

Last week’s menu plan went very well. I tried some new recipes, posted them (!), and didn’t waste any food. I also discovered a new kind of peanut butter and got myself to eat rice and pasta. I hope this week turns out just as well! Have you menu-planned your week yet?

Pumpkin fries? Are they as good as sweet potato fries? I’m going to have to try them! Considering I suck down sweet potato fries by the pound, it’ll be nice to diversify a little.
Hope your curry is delicious!
