Menu Plan Monday

Yep, I fell off the wagon with blog-posting here. Mostly because my husband (hi, love!) stole our camara in order to take pretty pictures on his walk to work, and without pictures of the meals I was making, I got uninspired about posting.

But it's a new week and a new menu! Here's to more posts in the next seven days.

Speaking of the next seven days, here's what we're having here at Print to Plate:

Monday: Pumpkin-bean soup with oatmeal muffins and broiled grapefruit*
Tuesday: freezer meal & canned fruit
Wednesday: Asian-style Beef Stew With Yams, with cornbread
Thursday: Yummy Pasta Salad and canned fruit
Friday: dinner at folks
Saturday: Vietnamese Fried Rice (from the More With Less Cookbook)
Sunday: after-church picnic: crackers and cheese

*to broil grapefruit for a side dish: turn on broiler. Cut grapefruits in half and put them on cookie sheets, cut side up. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Stick under broiler for about two minutes (check often, they can burn quickly!). Take out when brown sugar is melted, and top of fruit is just beginning to brown. Serve. (These are really yummy, and if you time it right, the top will be brown, sweet and crispy, and the bottom still cool and juicy.)

Might look a little strange, but it tastes delicious. And as sides go, it's super-easy.

Happy eatin' folks!
