Menu Monday 10/20

Heather says:

I was very lucky last week and spent some time in Greensboro, NC where I attended the annual ConvergeSouth conference. I learned a lot and spent time rubbing elbows with some Alpha Geeks. (I own this facet of my personality, it’s OK to say I’m a geek.) However, all good things come to an end. I’m back to the grind and that means Menu Mondays. My goal this week is to add tutorials for mashed potatoes and chili.

Tell me, Home Eccers, what is on your menu this week?

• Monday chicken parmesan, sautéed zucchini with garlic, tossed salad
• Tuesday  pot roast with carrots, celery, and mashed potatoes
• Wednesday lentil soup with grilled cheese sandwiches
• Thursday C.O.R.N.*
• Friday oven fried fish and chips, coleslaw, green beans
• Saturday homemade pizza night (sauce, crust), tossed salad 
• Sunday chili, nachos

*Clean Out Refrigerator Night

Simple Side: Carrot Raisin Salad

Heather says:

This classic pairs well with sandwiches and meals that call Spring and Summer to mind.  In its most basic form, the recipe here, it’s low cost and low effort.  There are many variations on this recipe, feel free to share yours in the comments.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups coarsely shredded carrot
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt

Directions:

Stir together and chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

I don’t know about you, but that write-up just about wore me out.
