Menu Planning Monday - Week of 10/12/09

We are attempting to eat just out of the pantry this week.  I am buyimg milk, bread, potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, and buns today.  Normally, pantry meals wouldn't be a big deal since we do have a nice stockpile going, but add in all-day queasiness from pregnancy and things get a little tricky.  My menu for the week will be just a basic framework.

Breakfasts: 
Hubby eats toast or cold cereal.  I eat anything salty I can get my hands on (for example - chili, cheese and crackers, soup).  Baby eats cheerios and yogurt with fruit.

Lunch:
Hubby takes a sandwich and applesauce to work.  I eat leftovers.  Baby shares with me and has some extra veggies and fruit.

Dinner:
Monday - Meatball hogies with a side of pasta
Tuesday - Chicken Drumsticks in the crockpot with taters on the side.
Wednesday - Enchiladas
Thursday - Stromboli (recipe below)
Friday - Roast Pork Chops with homemade oven fries
Saturday - Leftovers ("Dinner:  the Best Of")
Sunday - Ramen Noodles with egg (egg drop soup) and veggies

Stromboli
Preheat oven (and pizza stone if using one) to 400 degrees
Ingredients:
pizza dough (refrigerated, box mix, or homemade)
shredded Italian cheeses
favorite Italian meats
cut up veggies
pasta sauce for dipping

Make pizza dough
Roll dough out to size. I prefer smaller individual strombolis so they can be personalized.
Layer cheese, meats, and vegetables
Carefully roll stromoli into a log
Place on baking sheet or stone
Bake for 18 - 25 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.

Serve with warmed pasta sauce.
