Menu Plan Monday

I think I'm going to use my menu plan to debut myself. I've been thinking about this for awhile. First of all, I've emailed many of you which means you know my real name from the email account. I've even met one of you (excluding of course those bloggers I know in my area prior to blogging)! Second, there are some things that happen in and around my town I would like to discuss better. And finally, I just think it will be more me and my blog once I disclose myself some.


So voila! There is a picture of me, and a picture of me kissing my faceless boyfriend. You will probably not meet him until there is a wedding photo. He's intensely private and it's probably a strain on him that I even mention him here, he just doesn't let me know it. So now I've broken the ice, actually Michelle helped do that (check out her blog by the way for an awesome give away), and so now I am free to post from the rest of my life. I don't really look like that too often, I actually have longer hair that is pulled back, but that's the only even remotely recent photo of me I have at this time. Boyfriend, let me know if you have some.

On to the Menu Plan! Once again, boring and I promise to do something fun next week. It was a tight week buying the kitten toys and food and such, plus I went to an impromptu dinner Friday night with my sister and her boyfriend which left me a little short on cash. It should also be noted my budget starts over on Thursday, so I'm going to try to make some nice things/eat sushi.


Monday-I think I'm going to make oven fries. I know this isn't exactly dinner, but I'll supplement with some fruit or something. I have potatoes, I saw oven fries on another blog, I want them.

Tuesday-Some spinach and pasta combo. Mine will probably involve corn.

Wednesday-Dinner with M^2 before my night class. I'm going to try to talk him into SunSpot...I've been craving their hummus.

Thursday-Oatmeal with peanut butter. I have a lot of things Friday, a test and a paper, and I don't have time to be in the kitchen much. I really want to try Kevin's Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal, but may have to wait until Saturday morning when I have more time.

Friday-One of my favorite bloggers posted a roasted cauliflower recipe, and if my cauliflower lasts this long, I want to try it. And by lasts I mean I just need not to eat it first. Maybe I'll bump this to Tuesday. We'll see. Just an outline.

Saturday-Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry courtesy Kevin. Check out those Cs! Also check out his blog for awesome ideas. I've been let down with my past few curry attempts, so we'll see how I do at this one.

Sunday-Sushi. Either Shono's which is not excellent, but which is cheap and they also serve Shocktop and I also just love the atmosphere for inexplicable reasons, or Kroger sushi, which is not bad.

Enjoy! and check out more great menus at Organizing Junkie!

The big reveal! I'm glad you feel comfortable sharing more deets about yourself, I'm kinda wishy washy about how much I want to disclose on my blog, mostly because I don't really want people I know to track down my blog without me knowing! You've got a week of exciting meals ahead of you, hope your weekend was grand!

Jessica said...

Yeah - glad to SEE you on your blog and future postings!

I think you'll have more fun with your blog since you're feeling a little bit freer.

You are so organized. I never seem to have my meals planned more than two days ahead. I've been known to walk inot the grocery store and just start pulling things off the shelves that look good and then come up with a recipe for what I'll do with them when I'm making dinner.

Hooray, you're out of the blog closet. Or something. :-)

nice to see a face behind this blog! hey pretty girl!
mmm! nice meals! oven-fries sound great! what kind of sushi do you like most? I guess you've only got to stick to the veggie kind.

Great idea on the oven fries. We eat ours with sour cream and chopped green onions. Could always suppliment a salad, too. So amazed that you're planning your meals a week in advance! You may like this cheesy chicken enchilada recipe - quick, easy and unforgettable. http://tinyurl.com/cb3d6y

Sushi on Sunday sounds like the perfect way to finish up the week. :) Thanks for sharing your menu AND you!

Yay! I love the pics! I wish I could take a decent picture of myself for my blog...the one I'm using on Twitter right now was taken in a restaurant bathroom last week. Weird, but it was a fun idea.

And I think you'll love the cauli -- if you don't have any lemon, just use oil, salt, and pepper. Still very yummy!

Spinach and pasta sounds good. So does hummus. We love hummus.

Nice to put a face to the name. Funnily enough you look pretty close to what I imagined (usually I'm way off). Looks like a great menu plan.
