Meal Plan 3/25/2019

Sunday

• turkey and ricotta meatballs - this was a new recipe for me and we all loved it.
• zucchini noodles - another first from Trader Joe's freezer aisle. good but we needed 2 boxes
• spinach caesar salad - I have been adding a little mayo to my caesar dressing and extra anchovy paste - good changes!

Monday

• leftover pot roast (from my freezer)
• egg noodles
• roasted carrots (because there are never enough carrots in pot roast)
• heat oven to 425
• toss carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper and ?? - I like curry powder sometimes or chili powder + cumin. can do brown sugar for kiddos!
• roast for 30 minutes, tossing at about the 20 minute mark

Wednesday

• sage roasted pork tenderloin - recipe above! this is from a family cookbook and I make it often.
• zucchini with lemon vinaigrette
• heat oven to 425
• slice zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2 inch half moons
• toss on a baking sheet with olive oil + a little salt and pepper
• while it cooks, make a dressing:
• squeeze of half a lemon
• clove of minced garlic
• 1-2 TBSP of olive oil
• 1 TBSP chopped parsley (mint is good here too!)
• salt, pepper and crushed red pepper to taste
• cook zucchini for 20-30 minutes, then toss with the dressing before serving
• cheese grits
