menus for a couple of days

Just a promised what-we've-been-eating update. I'm also loosely planning the next couple of days. I just started a loaf of bread in the bread machine and may try to get another one going later. I need to pull a whole chicken out of the freezer, too.

Sunday - my wonderful, amazing, magnificent husband took the kids to see the in-laws all day. I stayed home and did chores. I ate leftovers from Saturday all day. I did enjoy some fancy bevs, though. I made iced tea and mashed up a couple of strawberries in the bottom of my glass. Yummy. I also made iced coffee - I keep forgetting to do the cold brew method, so it was just my regular old coffee on ice. Still good, in fact I think I'm going to go make more in a sec.

Derek and the kids came home with a huge bag of peaches from my in-laws peach tree. He also brought a small dish of their home grown squash and tomatoes.

So, today:

Breakfast: Cheerios, strawberries, peaches for the kids. I had yogurt with strawberries and peaches and little honey.

Lunch: totally random. I sauteed the squash and tomatoes in a little olive oil and added in some frozen broccoli - put the lid on the pan and let the broccoli steam for a bit. Had it all over rice. The kids had monterey jack cheese cubes with theirs. I had a little ceaser dressing on mine. Jackson actually had seconds, so I guess random worked. More peaches for dessert.

Tonight: We're having a sort-of stroganoff with ground bison and a sauce made with plain yogurt, sauteed onions, and a little Worcestershire. We'll have it over egg noodles and I'll probably just go ahead and throw peas in, too.

Tuesday:

Breakfast - scrambled eggs, toast w/jelly
Lunch - grilled cheese sandwiches, whatever frozen veg the kids decide on or maybe celery sticks and some dip kind of thing.
Dinner - I'm thinking of trying this Adzuki bean soup recipe, although I may change it up depending on what spices we have available. One of the commenters on the site topped their's with yogurt and it sounds really good. I have dried adzuki beans - this recipe doesn't call for soaking them, but I think I'll soak them tonight anyway. We'll have this with bread - or maybe rice would be better?

Wednesday:
(I'm going to get Derek to start the chicken in the crockpot in the morning - not sure what he'll throw together, so we'll see.)
Breakfast - cantaloupe, the last of the strawberries (if there are any left), peaches and either cereal or toast
Lunch - leftovers from Tuesday
Dinner - chicken and whatever needs to go with it depending on what Derek does.

Thank you for visiting random menu planning with Wendy.
