Menu Plan – Sept 29-Oct 4

Praise the Lord for a relaxing and enjoyable weekend! Aaron and I went out to see Fireproof on Friday evening and were delighted to see a packed theater. It was an excellent movie and greatly blessed and strengthened our marriage. I would definitely recommend getting out there and supporting this film. It was refreshing to see the miracle God can perform in any marriage no matter the state. Full of fun humor and tear jerking scenes.

Saturday we spent the day completing the re-organization of Aaron’s home office. We have been working on simplifying it for the last few weeks and I believe our job is complete! Praise the Lord for a clean office once again!

This weekend we look forward to heading north to Seattle and attending Mission Fest conference. We will be helping to man the Lightsys Ministries booth (the technology mission group we are joining), and maybe attend a session or two.

Now on to the menu plan…

Monday
Prep: make butter, soak oatmeal

Breakfast: Fruit Salad, Hard boiled eggs, toast
Lunch:  Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese sandwiches, fresh fruit
Dinner: Guests for dinner: Grilled Veggie Sandwiches (a great delicious frugal meal!), raw veggies or corn

Tuesday

Breakfast: Soaked Oatmeal, apples, raisins, bananas
Lunch: Peanut Butter & Jelly, applesauce
Dinner: Taco Salad

Wednesday
Prep: soak oatmeal, soak rice for dinner

Breakfast: French toast, fruit salad
Lunch:  Baked Potato Bar (using leftover chili from last week)
Dinner: Chicken Curry over Brown Rice, Green Salad
Dessert Guests – Berry Cobbler & Ice Cream- We are having an international student over for the first time through a ministry called ISI (read more here). Basically you become friendship partners with a student and build relationships through inviting them into your home on a regular basis. Will be sharing more in the future…but we would appreciate your prayers as we reach out to this gentleman from Belgium. His wife will be arriving on the 15th as well.

Thursday

Breakfast: Oatmeal, apples, raisins, bananas
Lunch:  Salmon Melts
Eat dinner on the road up to Seattle

Friday-Saturday in Seattle for Mission Fest Conference

    Since I’m a perpetually curious person, I figured I’d ask. What does your family usually eat on Sundays? I don’t think I remember seeing any menus that included Sunday meals. Do you eat with family or friends? Go out? We always have a big Sunday dinner and eat with the whole family, and I look forward to it all week. I was just wondering what other folks did. :)

      That’s a good question. I never really plan Sundays because I usually either serve leftovers or we most often do not get to one of our scheduled meals with last minute invites or changes, so I will often make that meal on Sunday. We do semi-frequently go out as a family for hamburgers or something of that sort and a family walk, just enjoying our day of rest. Our church also has a shared meal after our service and we participate in that occasionally as well.

    I’ve never had curry, but your recipe sounds simple and delicious. Maybe I can talk my husband into trying it? Thanks for the recipes!
