Somehow I always seem to fall into the same old rut. Spagetti on Wednesday, Fish on Friday.
Post here your favorite menu plans, your family’s favorites and/or what you had tonight.
I’ll start with my simplist menu plan, a quick and easy one that all my kids approve of (being a bunch of separate sam’s – nothing touching and hold the sauce!)
Ham Steaks, quickly fried to heat up and just the slightest carmelization Creamy Mashed Potatoes (or for the pasta lover, either Couscous or Acini Pepe with butter and grated romano cheese) Buttered String Beans
I thought ALL kids loved spaghetti and pizza. My daughter never did. Now a teenager, she does like fettuccini. She says she doesn’t like the “texture” of spaghetti. So for a quick and delicious “spaghett”, I do the following:
Fettuccini with bacon tomato sauce
Ceasar salad
Toast with garlic butter
I fry the chopped bacon, chopped onion, chopped green pepper until bacon is brown and onions a little brown. Add chopped garlic; add 1 can tomatoes (squish the tomatoes with your hands or potatoe masher). Add salt and pepper to taste, and some Italian seasoning. Let simmer while you cook your fettuccini. The bacon fat is really what gives this dish a good taste. Use your judgment about the amount. What I sometimes do is scoop out some of the fat and then maybe add a tbsp at a time while I taste the sauce…just enough to get the “bacon” taste.
Toss hot fettuccini with the sauce. This is the kind of pasta dish that isn’t very “saucy” but has great taste.
Hi Silver,
