menu plan monday ~ february 13, 2012

Here’s a pretty plant that my mother passed on to me last year. She got her start of it from her uncle’s home. It’s an orange amaryllis, Hippeastrum striatum, I believe. Correction is appreciated, if anyone knows it is something else. It blooms in January/February, each year.

Down to business…here’s our menu for the week.

Monday
Hamburgers
Homemade Buns
Stir Fried Cabbage and Garlic
Oven Fried Potato Wedges

Tuesday
Pork Chop and Potato Casserole
Green Salad
Crock Pot Apples
Steamed Sugar Snap Peas
Corn

Wednesday
Spicy Shredded Pork in the Crock Pot ~ I follow the pork recipe’s ingredient list, but I don’t blend them. I put the roast in the crock pot and throw everything in on top. I know it’s not the same as roasting it, so it’s different than the meat the original recipe would produce, but it’s still delicious! And easier.
Homemade Buns
Home-baked Tortilla Chips
Celery and Carrot Sticks

Thursday
Mongolian Beef with Broccoli
Rice

Friday
Homemade Pizza

Saturday
Dinner with extended family. I’m providing:
Spicy Shredded Pork
Alton Brown’s Pot Roast
Homemade Buns

Sunday
Crock Pot Turkey
Mashed Potatoes
Corn
Steamed Green Beans
Green Salad

    The Spicy Shredded Pork recipe sounds delicious. I may buy a pork shoulder this weekend. They’re so affordable.
    You have a wonderful and yummy week!
    Happy Valentine’s Day!

    After the party, I layered left over pulled pork in freezer containers, dividing it into individual portions with wax paper. Dad told Margaret that he is really enjoying the meat, and that he likes it being able to pop out one serving at a time.
