Menu Plan February 3-9

Well, last week's menu plant was a bust! I found myself surrounded by sick people all week long! So I made several pots of chicken soup, this chicken soup to be exact.

Feel Better Chicken Stew

But I ran out of brown rice and had to substitute orzo pasta instead. Best substitution ever! Orzo cut down the cooking time considerably and was much easier to swallow for those with sore throats.

In addition to the virus going around, we had snow. Not much, but enough to paralyze our entire state. You might have heard about it? Alabama (and Georgia) were slammed with ice and snow, causing 3 days of total shut down. Yeah, sick and stuck, that was us.

I made it through the week caring for my poor family, then yesterday I started running a fever and feel a bit stuffed up. I've been drinking lemon and honey tea to alleviate my symptoms and so far it seems to be working. Hopefully this week will go a little more according to plan.

So here's what I've got for this week (and yes, there are some repeats from last week):

Monday
Pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw

Tuesday
Kale and white bean soup with smoked sausage, Italian bread

Wednesday
Easy chicken pot pie, green beans

Thursday
Hamburger steaks, mashed potatoes

Friday
Creamy ham and potato soup, pretzel rolls

Saturday
Date Night! Pizza for the kids

Sunday
Savory beef roast
